The best thing about doing needlepoint for very small children is that they are so uncritical. They don’t say things like, “I see you’ve missed some stitches over here on the leg, was that intentional?” or “Was this creature blinded in a fight?” They will clasp it in their little arms and love it besottedly, [...]

This is exactly why I cringe at the thought of packing (and this was only the loft area…I’d rather not post up what the lower half of my room looks like right now X_x).

I’m not a huge jazz junkie, but I love this song. Sade’s voice is so velvety smooth, you can almost feel it on your skin. If I ever get my own place in some classy metropolitan city (with a fancy schmancy bathroom), I’m going to sit myself in a large bubble bath…champagne glass in hand…candles on the [...]

I’ve been dying to get my hands on some scented oils from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. After reading some of the descriptions of the perfumes on their website, I find the urge to want to buy everything. This is not your average Bath and Body Works fruity galore, of course. They specialize in oddly intriguing blends with [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I went with my uncle and his family of 4 (including himself, wife, and two kids) to the mall.
He drives around looking for a parking spot, when suddenlly a HUGE family walks across the street and onto the sidewalk.
Uncle: My god, did they have to bring the whole village to the semi-annual [...]

In the midst of my own personal shenanigans, I had forgotten to mention that I saw The Dark Knight yesterday. It’s a shame, but I have to admit that after seeing my share of some lackluster films this summer, I wasn’t too hyped up for this one. In a split-second decision, I luckilly saw the film [...]

This note that I’m in the process of writing is out of place. Yep, it probably is. You see, when I first decided to make this blog, I’d always envisioned it to be strictly an artistic outlet to share my peculiar interests and findings. I don’t want it to become an external diary for my Sally sob stories. [...]

I’ve recently found a new song to become addicted to. It’s probably an annoying habit to others, because I have a tendency to play a song that I like over and over again–ceaselessly, or at least until I find the next addicting tune. I was watching parts of the Miss Universe Pageant on NBC, and [...]

I’ve been away from my laptop for a couple of days now due to my recent visit to Vegas this past weekend. It was a rather short vacation; not completely thrilling or relaxing as I’d hoped, but worthy of an experience nonetheless. We went to see Cirque du Soleil’s production “Ka” at the MGM hotel, [...]

About four years ago, I was watching a TV show called Image Makers, on PBS. I’m not too sure whether it’s still running, but it was truly a great find. The show featured independent films from various film makers, though I did notice a predominance in Bristish works. It was always hard to keep tabs on the show since it didn’t follow [...]
