50 Wines

My criteria for choosing wine:
1) under $13
2) pretty label

Food and Wine has posted their "50 Wines You Can Always Trust" list. You can bet I'll be scouring Ballard Market for the two Sangiovese wines on there: Antinori - Santa Cristina, and Banfi - Sentine.

The 40 Show

The 40 Show at Tenforward Collective on Water Street in Vancouver is now open.

"Over 50 of today’s top cartoonists, animators, and pretty picture-makers all submitted works using 40 oz. malt liquor bottles as their canvas. Vancouver, in an attempt to clean up the streets for the impending 2010 Olympics has eliminated “the working man’s drink” from its stores, and the show aims to show that people care about their malt liquor"

Tender!

Not really the height of sophistication but I still had to post because I really like cute stuff. Paintings from Shinobu Matsui.

Ridiculous - love it.

Of COURSE there's a blog for "The Daily Puppy". And of course they have a rating system that is out of ten "biscuits". This is Koa, the goldendoodle. That's right - goldendoodle.

Not okay

Too far. {puppy purse}

Missed it!

Danget. I mean, I don't have ANYTHING going on, and I still forget to hit up "free cone day" at Ben & Jerry's. But seriously - how much preparation does free cone day really call for?

Wiki - immediate

Wikipedia is fascinating. The amount of information and edits that have already been made to the entry for the Virgina Tech shootings is pretty incredible.

Weekend batch

I've uploaded my very professional pics from the weekend: Moving and JBL4's Berfday.

DIY loft art...

John and Pann made their own canvases AND painted the art themselves. I think it looks really cool and straight out of a fancy shmancy home store. You guys wanna make some money of this idea??? I've got time.

Peeps Dioramas!

I like it when people have time to do elaborate peeps dioramas. But I can't hate because dioramas were pretty much my favorite art project EVER in school. {peep the peeps dioramas}

"Marpeep Antoinette: Let Them Eat Jelly Beans"
"Say Anything: I Gave Her My Heart, She Gave Me a Peep"
"She's My Peep. No, She's Mine: The Anna Nicole Smith Peep-Daddy Trial"

Traffic Laws

Wesa finds stuff that's funny all the time. I don't know how she does that.

HAHA! Funny idea.

AOTD: Matt Mikulla

HOTT. With two Ts. Creative photography from Mat Mikulla. His really affordable prints (around $40) look just like Tord, which is probably why I love them.

AOTD: Kevin Cooley

Totally hot long-exposure photographs from Kevin Cooley. I love creepy photos.

Stay-at-home-mom

....only I don't have any kids. Phew! On saturday I made these mini cupcakes. I think they turned out pretty good.

I also finally bought pots to class up the windowsill. I'm so the next martha.
