Somewhere in the world there is a place where all of the worn out elastic hair-ties retire. If you stumbled upon it you would find the rusted remains of the ancient metal closure bands and thread bare husks of the scrunchies of times past.
And somewhere deep in this hair band graveyard is an even more [...]

mid-November thumbs up list
I redid Surplus Cats and would like my suspicion of its adequate level of cuteness confirmed. So if you’re reading this via the feed, be a dear and click over and tell me if anything is broken or wonky?
Actual Content!
Here’s my semi-monthly list of interesting things! Who is excited? (I am.)
A look at Isabella Blow [...]
Cheese Wonderland
We went to the 24 hour grocery store Saturday night and it was CLOSED — like completely empty and Oh noes! But there was a sign directing us to the new location. We’d forgotten they’d been working on a big fancy Market District store, so I guess my preferred G’iggle was no longer needed. I [...]
Behold! A trend is born!
This exciting new pattern has been scientifically formulated with an exotic blend of trendy prints to sell like cakes hotter than “That’s hot” ever was. (And then it’ll wane for like a minute, and then it’ll be retro.)
So I went to the mall last night to find pants and a button down shirt for my [...]

Yeah? Maybe? No? Well, use your imagination and we’ll get through this together and then I will go off somewhere alone and feel [...]

Meet Karloff & Pangaea
Oh hey, talk about surplus cats — we have two new additions:
More photos thissaway.
Mystery Art
I’m not quite done talking about the trip. I forgot the most important part — the mystery artwork that I swore I would ask the Internet to explain.
Our hotel room featured the following huge print:
What is happening here? There seems to be a table coming through either a window or a mirror, holding something like [...]
Bonobos! Say it – it’s fun!
This is me after a two zoo tour of Ohio. Ok, fine. This is a koala bear who lives at the Cleveland Metropark Zoo. If I was just a bit taller this guy would’ve been within reach. (There’s no glass, but there is a staff member keeping an eye on things and answering questions.) I [...]
