DIY #3: ‘Stache It Out

Moustaches are powerful tufts of hair.

When you’re shrimpy on the smaller-side like myself (and most people under the age of 12), the Fuck the Rain Umbrella by Anton Schnaider makes a statement.

On The Rocks

Check out these stone ice cubes made of Nordic Rock.  Nordic rock is mined from ancient Swedish pollution-free base rock.  It is supposedly the purest way of cooling your drink because stones don’t melt which means your beverage wont get diluted with potentially unclean water.  Dont you agree they look pretty hardcore… although eerily similar to a [...]

Fantasy Island

I used to know a girl named Angela (that is actually her name… I didn’t change it to protect her identity) who shared with me that her favorite animal was a unicorn.  And she was serious.  And we are no longer friends.  In that order.

The Power Of Three

I have been a bad blogger and my excuse is even lamer… I am dog/cat/house-sitting at a place that has super crappy spotty Internet connection.  I curse Linksys!  But I am back on track, my friends, and am in fine form after an excellent morning that consisted of the following:

I got totally lost a little bit [...]

It’s Happy Hour Somewhere

I just read Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea by Chelsea Handler.
I have to be honest, the first few chapters of her book were totally lost on me.  I had come to the conclusion that 95% of her comedic brilliance is in the delivery which doesn’t always translate well in print.
As you can imagine, [...]
