Something Shiny Moved

@ Gypsy Moon Designs.

As some of you may or may not know, I’m currently in the process of moving from the East Coast back to my beloved Midwest.  This week is going to be a bit crazy.  We’re currently shopping for a new place to live, and the moving company is coming to give us estimates on Thursday [...]

When I found this shirt, I totally just thought it was a cute, funny zombie shirt…  and we all know how much I love zombies. But then I was thinking about it in light of the recent Health Care Reform Bill stuff and I was thinking how accurate this shirt is. Recently I was talking [...]

I think I’ve finally reached the point in my life where I’ve started to be realistic about candles.  I’ve always liked the way candles smell. Particularly good candles.  So I would go to White Candle Barn, or The Yankee Candle store…  and I would smell all these candles and be like, “Oooh, that’s fucking awesome.” [...]

Sometimes I think it’s completely amusing how much shit is talked back and forth between the different boroughs of NYC.  People in Manhattan have attitude about Brooklyn, and in turn people in Brooklyn have attitude about Queens.  No one cares about The Bronx (except when they want to go to the zoo). And Staten Island?  [...]

So the other evening, I watched an episode of Little People, Big World…  and I have a few thoughts.  Firstly, I admit that what I’m about to say isn’t really a popular sentiment, but it’s true, just the same.  The fact of the matter is, “Little People” kinda weird me out.  I mean.  That sounds [...]

I was sitting here looking at this mobile, and thinking that it sorta reminds me of the earrings that I would wear when I was in grade school.  I mean.  I wore some fucking ugly earrings back then.  Not just ugly, but also large, and often excessively heavy.  In fact, there was a period of [...]

Recently, I thought to myself, ” Maybe I should learn Hindi?”  There is some backstory to all of this, but that’s the pertinent bit.  So after deciding that, I went to the bookstore to browse for materials with which to learn.  I came across the books on Hindi, and selected one.  When I opened it [...]

In my high school, the only foreign language that was available was Spanish with Señora Pittman.  While is was a fine enough class, I certain wish that I’d had options…  Like French.  I also kinda wish that we had started much earlier.  This poster sorta reminds me of these colouring sheets that we did in [...]

What does one DO with floppy disks like this now?  I don’t think they even make computers to accommodate them.  I have a little stack in my “memento” box which I never throw away because I’m afraid there’s some vitally important data on them.  Well.  Maybe not VITALLY important, but definitely important enough.  Someone should [...]

I have a lot of jewelry… Which is to say, I have a lot of NECKLACES.  I’m not actually much for bracelets or rings or watches… or even earrings, honestly.  But necklaces.  You can never have too many.  Except when it comes to storage.  Like I truly have no idea where to put them.  I [...]

I have a great fondness for colouring books (in theory, of course).  I remember going to my grandma’s house and she had this bench along the window in her dining room.  It was really kind of this genius design.  It ran the whole length of the window, and it was sorta built in.  She had [...]

I’m quite fond of the phrase “It’s on like Donkey Kong,” despite its rather unfortunate appearance in the film American Pie. I also care a great deal for cross stitching… But not really. @ Argenta Collaborative.

I’m allergic to dogs.  Not like. SUPER allergic.  It doesn’t bother me to be around them for short periods of time.  In fact.  I love being around dogs, in general. (My neighbor Melissa has a Border Collie called Buddy. He is a sweetheart and would let you throw the frisbee for him INFINITELY if you [...]

Kleenex boxes are really ugly.  I’m just going to put that out there.  Generally they are covered in flowers or some largely unattractive, non-matching ANYTHING pattern.  I don’t understand why they can’t just make them all in neutral colours. Black. White. Grey. Beige. Navy Blue. They should blend.  They are not an accessory I want [...]

I saw this thing recently that suggested that a parent should take a few moments every so often and have a specific set of questions they should ask their child… Like, “What’s your favorite food/colour/television show, etc?” It went on to say that they should record those answers in a safe place to show the [...]
