Someone was searching for monkey cupcake toppers so I thought I’d help with that today (besides, I like monkeys – particularly red-headed ones!). It’s hard to find just monkey cupcake toppers. It’s easy to find zoo animal toppers but not a package of just monkeys. So let’s ad-lib a little, ok? Why not use Barrel of Monkeys instead? Buy a barrel (or two) and put one monkey on each cupcake! Then buy the tiny keychain sized version to use as party favors. (You could retrieve the big monkeys from the cupcakes, wash them and give them to the birthday child if you like.)

Michelle Tea – someone I never thought I’d see in person but as TW says, it’s gonna be that kind of year for me. First Michelle Tea tonight at Wild Iris and then Susie Bright at Blogher in July. Pretty darn cool!
Michelle read from her new book, Rose of No Man’s Land, and answered questions. She signed some books and was just very nice to everyone in the room. (Our Michelle is amused because she got her book signed "To Michelle T from Michelle Tea" – it’s the little things in life, isn’t it?) And who knew Michelle Tea was a high school teacher? Can you imagine what that class might be like? Scarey and cool at the same time, don’t you think?

This music post is long overdue but I’ve been busy and distracted. Music is timeless, as is my appreciation for people who introduce awesome music to me. People like Paige Maguire of Miss Domestic and Swoon and Blogher.
The Swimmers – Heaven
Apostle Hustle – 24 Robbers
The Flaming Lips – If I Only Had a Brain
My Morning Jacket – Make it With You (yes a Bread cover!)
Because of Paige, my iRiver is full of fun new music that I’d have never ever thought about downloading. Because of Paige, I’m having trouble getting work done during the day because she is constantly suggesting new music on Swoon and all I want to do is download it. I’ve had to limit my surfing of the Swoon blog to just a few minutes in the morning and my downloading of new music to just a few minutes at night.
Here are a few of my favorites, all found on one of Paige’s blogs!
Paige is awesome. Swoon is awesome. Go download something. Take an open-mind and be sure to blog about what you’ve downloaded. (Besides being a great music blogger, Paige is always looking for bloggers who are writing about music. Get listening and get blogging!)
Thanks Paige.

I’m doing some blog maintenance – I was feeling like it was a "categories gone wild" thing around here so I’m revamping and turning over a new leaf – categorically speaking. Forgive the extra feeds, if you’re getting fed.

I want to know who is writing the descriptions of Boca Java’s "Bloggers Fuel" coffees. I’ve read a lot of blog reviews over the last week and they all have two things in common – they think the coffee is good and they think the description is inaccurate. To be specific, everyone seems to take issue with the adjective "robust".
I wish I could be the first blogger to break away from that, but I can’t. The first Bloggers Fuel we tried was "New Media Mavericks". Boca Java describes it this way:
‘Unfiltered Truth’ Lead the information reformation with this medium roast from the prized Tarrazu region of Costa Rica with excellent body and robust richness.
Ummm no. It’s actually a pretty good coffee. But it’s not robust. It’s smooth. It’s got a nice, but not overwhelming, flavor. I’d happily make it again and again and again. Particularly in the spring and the summer, when I prefer a lighter blend coffee. I wonder what it is like over ice. I don’t do iced coffee so I’ll never tell you, but I’d like to suggest the idea to another blog reviewer. I bet it’s a good iced coffee. Not robust, but that’s ok. Coffee does not have to be robust in order to be terrific.
The next Bloggers Fuel going into the grinder is "Blogs of Bravery"…. . What a great name, I can hardly wait for morning!
