Happy New Year!
1, Jan 2013Happy January 2013! I started out the year right with some arts and crafts. Since I just moved and have had roommates for so long, I found that I had no plates or bowls to my name. Susan had an old set and had also read on Pinterest that if you Sharpie on them and [...]

The Office
18, Jul 2012One of the things I’ve been working on is setting up an office space. My awesome roomie Katie is the queen of decorating, and she encouraged me to co-opt the dining room for an office space so that I could in fact sleep in one room and work in another. It’s been awesome. The first [...]
Early Month Check In
8, Feb 2012Alright, so month 2 of 12 months of experiments is underway, and as explained below, I’m calling this one The Early Month. This has actually turned into a bit of a misnomer because while I tried, I cannot quite tweak my schedule to get up at 5 AM at this juncture. There is rarely the [...]
Year of Experiments: February is Early Month
31, Jan 2012January was the “ease in slowly” month. Photos are phun. I finally found the joys of Instagram, so there’s that. As I mentioned earlier, it’s nice to have to stare at seemingly mundane situations and have to pull a photo out of them (as in, “CRAP I haven’t taken a photo yet today quick!”). Art [...]
Soup!
25, Jan 2012Last night we took a cooking class at Central Market called “Winter Soups and Stews.” Thankfully, as rare as it has been this winter, it was cloudy and damp. Perfect soup weather. Plus, I’ve gotten really tired lately of just relying on my staple of Paula Deen’s Cheesy Ham and Banana Casserole (just kidding GOOD [...]
Input = Idea…and then what?
20, Jan 2012Idea 1: Meet Lady Gaga’s wax figure. Idea 2: Meet the real Lady Gaga (in progress) These numbers are not totally accurate but for the sake of metrics…I have had about 14 good ideas this week. I forgot four of them about 10 seconds after I had them. Goodbye…I hope you got caught by someone [...]
Currency
11, Jan 2012Interesting scenario this morning. Katie sends me a link to a Youtube video. It’s a cool version of a song I had never heard before (so technically it was a cover but since I didn’t know the original, eh)…being played by 5 people on 1 guitar. I see a TON of content every day, and [...]
Corporate Culture
6, Jan 2012Over Christmas I became obsessed with Better Off Ted – the show that was cancelled after two seasons. It’s like The Office crossed with Arrested Development. It makes me laugh out loud, especially these fake commercials for the fake company in the show. Here’s one of them: Susan charged me with making some like-minded commercials [...]
Reading List
31, Dec 2011I have been reading like a…like a worm? A bookworm, anyway. I don’t think normal worms can see. They don’t have eyes. There are a lot of good books in the world, obviously. I have always been a piecemeal reader. I had to consume so much information to get my history degree that it was [...]
Make Your Story Their Story
30, Sep 2011I had krav maga this morning, 6:45 AM sharp. It hurt to wake up. I was having some weird dream about being carted away to an internment camp…I need to stop reading conspiracy books. The initial infatuation with krav has faded into a deep respect for getting up early and punching and kicking things, but [...]
