We all need to prioritize , to keep order. For me at this point in my life, that means putting my blog at the bottom of my to-do list, right next to my fitness. This semester is truly eating up any semblance of free time I once knew. And when I do find a second [...]

There’s a photo contest being held for Etsy members to partake in. The Eco Etsy team is running it and I was picked to be a judge! It ends pretty soon (Oct 7th) so if you want in, here’s all the information and rules. This contest means awesome prizes made by the Eco Etsy team! [...]

Sometimes it’s good to be neutral, and sometimes it’s bad. For instance, it’d be bad to take a neutral stance on a lot of political issues because then you’d never act to make any sort of change. Although one could argue that it’s better not to act rather than support the wrong cause. But then, [...]

I am liking this Modest Mouse song, not to mention the video, which features Walter Robot. Here’s another video I stumbled upon on YouTube featuring Walter Robot that makes ya feel kinda bad for the dude, robot or not:

…makes some pretty rad jewelry. She’s got a beautifully simplistic and unique style. I’m currently “crushing” on these sterling silver and jade earrings of hers. If someone wants to get me an early Christmas present, go to town!

Apparently vegetarians can’t use the whole “I don’t eat anything with a face” excuse anymore. I swear I didn’t intend for my veggie burgers and ketchup/mustard to stare at me seconds before I dug into it. Look how sad he is about it too… On the bright side, he tasted mighty good, and stopped frowning [...]

That’s right. I’ve taken a lova, and its name is Gorillapod. John will get over it. If you’re any sort of photography enthusiast, you might consider courting your own Gorillapod. Just keep your filthy hands off of mine! Seriously, I think anyone with an Etsy shop should invest in one of these suckers. There’s hardly [...]

I’ve got nothing for today, so I need a “fluff” or “filler” post just to keep this thing moving along. And so I give you, “Bret You Got it Goin’ On”…

I crave Indian cuisine once a week, if not more often. It’s a pain though, because the place we like takes FOREVER to deliver. My solution to this quagmire, and most others in life: DIY. Here’s the recipe I found for Chicken Masala. It actually looked do-able, and doesn’t seem to require trips to any [...]

According to this NY Times article, dieting is futile and Americans are just meant to be fat. OK, that was an exaggeration. But seriously, the article is basically saying there’s not much that we can do, or at least that we’ve been TOLD we can do, to alter our weights. Apparently they’re predisposed and your [...]

This looks like a grand opportunity to put my knitting skills/obsession to a good cause. If you knit you should consider it as well! Just keep in mind that the deadline is October 1st!

That’s my Polish Grandma, and I figured she needed a blog devoted to her considering she turned 91 yesterday*. She’s one tough lady for her age. She still finds time to debate me on why I should get married in a Catholic church when I see her at family events. I don’t take it easy [...]

This isn’t a blog devoted to that place after which it is named. No, it’s simply a blog devoted to the song which happens to have the same name as that place, or perhaps is named after the place, which, now that I think about it, seems more likely than the two coincidentally having the [...]
