thank you!

Oh my! Feedburner tells me that 600 of you now subscribe to Claremont Road. It's truly an honor to know that you're reading my lil' old blog every day. Thank you for making this blogger a very happy girl!

Monday morning pick-me-up

Chances are, many of you are returning to work today after many days away from the office — days spent relaxing, feasting, and enjoying the holidays with loved ones. I have a sneaking suspicion that you may need a little pick-me-up. And I think I found it.



You're welcome.

"even if it's bold italic"

Whether you're a designer or not, you will hopefully get a good laugh out of this video... it's an hilarious homage to one of my favorite fonts, Neutraface, put to none other than Lady Gaga's "Poker Face."



The lyrics... the "choreography"... the half-assed set design. I love it! My favorite performer is the (beardless) guy with the bow-tie and Waldo glasses. He takes his moves VERY seriously.

and I thought I was neurotic...

Have you seen the blog i am neurotic? It is laugh-out-loud hysterical, and it's a nice reminder that we're all a little neurotic in some way. Here are a few of my recent faves:

(thanks, Maggie!)

lasers, lasers, lasers...

Between Happiest People Ever, Sleeveface, and now We Have Lasers!, I don't see how a day without laughter could ever be conceivable. Laughter truly is just a click away.

Priceless photo via We Have Lasers!!!!!!! Thanks to Jenny from Geek in Heels for introducing me to this hilarious blog.

Even celebrities are submitting their laser portraits.

Did you beg your mom to spring for the laser background on your school photos?

need a giggle?

I love finding a website that makes me laugh so hard that I have tears coming out of my eyes. I found Happiest People Ever the other day via A Blog About Things. It illustrates "what happens when photographers forget to tell people to say cheeeeeeese." We all have these photos stashed away somewhere. Just check out some of these extremely happy people:

If you're not laughing, something is wrong with you!

twittering. er, tweeting.

I'm now on Twitter as claremontroad. Follow me. As I try to figure out what in the world I'm supposed to do with it.

words cannot describe the cuteness

If you need a little pick-me-up (or even if you don't), do yourself a favor and take two minutes to watch this RIDICULOUSLY adorable video.



(thanks, Naomi Megan!)
