Marking X-es on my Twilight wall calendar last year was so blasé.  I’m sure you feel the same way about your 2009 Puppies of the World calendar.  In order to spice up the year that is to be 2010, I* present you with the Bubble Calendar which is essentially a sheet of bubble wrap mounted over a calendar.  In other words, the greatest scientific breakthrough of this century.

Popping bubble wrap every single day for an entire year... heaven needs to install one of these.

Foreseeable problems with the Bubble Calendar:

• You won’t be able to contain yourself and all the bubbles will be popped by Presidents Day.
• Marking your friends’ and family members’ birthdays might prove difficult.
• Disclaimer on the website, “Due to manufacturing processes out of our control, some bubbles may fail to inflate.” **

Why foreseeable problems don’t matter:

• It’s a bubble wrap. CALENDAR.

Interesting addition:

• When you click “add to cart” the website automatically adds two calendars to your cart, not one.  Tricky tricky, Bubble Calendar.

2010 Bubble Calendar, $20.10. Comes in both vertical and horizontal 47" x 18" Available at bubblecalendar.com. They're sold out of all languages save French which I'm led to believe doesn't have different holidays than the English version. It's hard to tell since neither have Groundhog Day bolded. Nor New Year's Day. Nor Christmas Day for that matter... Oops. Okay, I see, this is actually just bubble wrap. I'm buying it anyway.

* A special thanks to Kathryn Heller for bringing Bubble Calendar to my attention.

** Bubble Calendar, LLC will replace any tainted calendar if returned within two weeks.
