Quite possibly the best website ever conceived, Selleck Waterfall Sandwich delivers precisely what its title promises.

Each lovingly crafted image on the site features Tom Selleck, a waterfall, and a sandwich: a supremely satisfying bit of random whimsey.

Actual Hallowe’en shots will be in a separate post, since I forgot my camera and have to wait on photos to be emailed to me.  Until then, here is a sampling of silly and pretty things from the past week:

First, a happy papadum, courtesy of my sillier half,

who also likes to send me private messages over Twitter.

Some things found in my apartment building,

My bike, sporting a brand-new shiny sticker from Watching The World Wake Up,

(it’s the eyeball with the rays shooting out around it)

A couple of pretty things that would have been prettier if only I’d brought my proper camera

And finally, on the off chance that anyone actually comes here looking for truth and meaning:

My Mom had her 60th birthday a few weeks ago.

Looking pretty damned good for 60, no?  I sincerely hope I got whatever gene does this.  But not the ribbon-wearing gene.

A couple of her sisters showed up as well, and her mom

That’s Nana on the left, Ariel with the funny face, Carol showing us her panties, and of course the birthday girl.  Incidentally, Ariel’s youngest son Nathan, who is a talented young pup, is playing a gig here in Toronto tonight.  I’ll post photos from that at a later date.

The party animals got heavily into some drinking games in the evening.

Wild girls.

The next morning we all went out to breakfast, where my mother gave us a wonderful display of her “impending doom” face, also known as “if you don’t sit down and shut up right this second you might not live long enough to regret it”.  If you want to be immediately transported back to childhood, click on the photo to see a larger version.

I got chills.  It was like being 12 again.

Of course I had to take some time to stroll around the house (one needs breathing room when surrounded by this many redheads) and found this guy glued to the swimming pool cover by his own dried-up juices o_O

Here’s a nice picture of the last of mom’s tomatoes, because I know that last shot grossed you out.

Today I cleaned out my locker,

and played with my dead cicada.

Then I went to the greenhouse

where i found a fly,

a wasp

and a lot of spider mites

and then put a newly-emerged adult gypsy moth into the freezer.

Afterward, I wandered

around

campus.

I stopped to play with birds

hugged a tree

and discovered that squirrels really like nachos.

Later I went out for thai food

and found some really tacky but ultimately irresistible panda paraphernalia.

Seriously, who couldn’t use a panda Matryoshka doll?
