For those of you who miss Jenny Slate on SNL...yeah she's not there anymore.

As an avid fan of SNL, seeing Jenny Slate's incredibly funny sketches, including Tina Tina Schanuse, the classic F-bomb drop, and her great Hoda Kotb impersenation, just added a whole new set of funny videos to add to my favorites.  So to see her leave SNL is frankly pretty sad.


But don't be discouraged here are some really funny sketches she did outside of SNL.

This video and the following episodes led me to find the previous video of the snail (watch that one too).

WATCH ALL 3 EPISODES!

Marcel the Shell with Shoes on -- Reaaaaally cute and funny video...WATCH!

So it's been a while since I've added a post, but I've been pretty busy in school. But believe me, I think this next video will make up for it.  I stumbled upon this last night. And couldn't get enough of it. Had to watch it twice.

Cheeeeeck it outt!!!

Artist Julien Berthier created a boat, named Love Love, that looks like it’s sinking, but actually has a motor that allows it to be driven around, fully afloat.

Inside an Ant Colony

I stumbled across this video and it's all sorts of crazy cool!

These people discover this HUUUUUGEE ant colony and decide to excavate it to see what it looks like under ground.

A little sneak peak of info:
  • Building the ant colony is like building the Great Wall of China in human terms
  • This ant colony spans over 500 square feet and to depths of 26 feet!

And one of my favorite pictures from this post:

Ernesto Neto's Biomorphic Sculptures

I saw an exhibit for one of these pieces at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. It was really cool. It's an interactive art piece where you take your shoes off and get to walk through the piece. The one I saw, I believe, was the 6th image down (on the website). I had no idea that this artist created many pieces like the one I saw. I feel like it'd be really cool to jump onto those pink cushions in the first picture and run through the tunnels in the second picture. Anyways...Enjoy!

Ernesto Neto's installations are large, soft, biomorphic sculptures that fill an exhibition space that viewers can touch, poke, and even sometimes walk on or through.
