Chocolate Pie Chart

January 22nd, 2010 No Comments

What fraction of this would I pass off to Joe because dark chocolate is gross?  At least 1/4th.  Unfortunately novelty chocolates such as these are rarely GOOD, quality chocolate.  So while this caters completely to the wannabe math nerd in me, I would probably pass and grab a bar of chocolate from Vosges. @ Chocolate [...]

I used to not really care for gold jewelry…  and I never thought I would budge on that fact… But lately I’ve warmed up to certain pieces in gold.  This is one such piece. @ Galit.

Music Listography

January 18th, 2010 No Comments

List a song that reminds you of each lover you’ve had…  List the best album covers ever created…  List the songs to play at your funeral…  These are just a few of the lists to be made in Music Listography, by Lisa Nola.  I own a few of the other Listography books, and honestly, the [...]

This post should really be made to commemorate an unprecedented occasion…  I was given the opportunity to have another animal, and I elected NOT to.  I should say a few words about Joe.  Joe is great.  Joe is incredibly supportive of nearly every whim of mine.  I decide I want to learn French.  He (maybe [...]

Zombie Mints (Brain Flavored!)

January 11th, 2010 No Comments

Feeling like a zombie after celebrating a bit too much this weekend?  Check. Terrible morning breath?  Check.  Two birds.  One tasty (?) mint!  What exactly do brains taste like?  I’ll never know. @ Archie McPhee.

Ransom Fridge Magnets

January 7th, 2010 No Comments

When I was in grade school, I remember cutting letters out of The National Enquirer and Weekly World News and composing notes to Wendy Cooper.  They were very serial killer-esque.  These magnets are for the lazy serial killer in all of us. @ Urban Outfitters.

Giant Paper Clip Wall Hook

January 5th, 2010 No Comments

At first I was just going to post the first picture in this post…  But then I realised it basically looked just like a normal paper clip…  Like, “OMG guys, look at this thing I just found on the internets.  It binds pieces of paper together for easy transport, etc.  Get yours today!” @ ThinkGeek.

Over Christmas, my brother, sister and nephew came to visit for a week.  During that week, we ran the NYC tourist gauntlet, going to ALLL the places that I would normally kill a tiny kitten to avoid.  One night, we walked down 5th Avenue, through Rockefeller Center starting at FAO Schwarz.  I had told Dayton [...]
