I know its his “thing” to hate on us bike enthusiasts out here on the temperate west coast who love to get naked and joyfully pedal in the woods (or downtown), but comparing the Flaming Lips music to being “about as exciting as a big bucket of old bongwater” just [...]
Autistic artist Stephen Wiltshire took a twenty-minute helicopter ride over Manhattan. Then he sketched the entire skyline from memory. Every building was correct and drawn to scale! He’s also done panoramic memory drawings of Tokyo, Rome, [...]
As my roommates commented before I ventured out last night for a haircut with a new stylist, “Ginger Suite… that sounds yummy!”
And yummy it was. Walking into the salon is a veritable goody shop for the well-heeled lady. After my coiffure was complete, Travis plopped in the the chair for a [...]
Fall is the time for BIG SURF in Oregon! In fact they hold some of the best surfing competitions in the world. Held at the Nelscott Reef, near Lincoln City, OR. This is near the area that I first learned to surf! Coastal towns are so fun to visit.

Opening like a blossom, the form allows each pocket to collect water,” Dominic says. He adds, “The planter is made using a complex six-part mold (compared to the typical two- to four-part mold) with seventeen post-molding cuts. Each piece is [...]
Moon sustainability? Seriously? Are we not having enough fun destroying one planet that we have to start CRASHING into something else?
An Atlas V rocket is on a collision course with the moon, and when it hits early Friday morning, the blast will kick up a miles-high plume of debris visible [...]

White…. light… such big wonderful windows! Nice chairs.
Oh that mirror. And what a floor lamp!
I love how the light filters through the bookshelf and creates a glow. Sheepskin on bare wood floors makes me happy.

Custom designed work-corset, specifically made for Burning Man! This chick is awesome. San Francisco artist Nifer Fahrion created this work clothing inspired corset to wear at Burning Man this year. She is one of the original MAN builders! How awesome!
Saturday morning, after a sweaty yoga class, my starving tummy demanded that I find some quick healthy food before fueling my legs to get me all the way back home. I detoured through the Belmont Street Fair which I had never attended before and was completely impressed! They actually shut down several blocks (unlike Division [...]

There is a flower Within my heart, Daisy, Daisy! Planted one day By a glancing dart, Planted by Daisy Bell! Whether she loves me Or loves me not, Sometimes it's hard to tell; Yet I am longing to share the lot - Of beautiful Daisy Bell! Daisy, Daisy, Give me your answer do! I'm half crazy, All for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage But you'll look sweet upon the seat Of a bicycle made for two. We will go 'tandem' As man and wife, Daisy, Daisy! 'Peddling' away Down the road of life, I and my Daisy Bell! When the road's dark We can both despise P'licemen and 'lamps' as well; There are 'bright lights’ In the dazzling eyes Of beautiful Daisy Bell! Daisy, Daisy, Give me your answer do! I'm half crazy, All for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage But you'll look sweet upon the seat Of a bicycle made for two. I will stand by you In 'weal' or woe, ["weal" means prosperity] Daisy, Daisy! You'll be the bell(e) Which I'll ring you know! Sweet little Daisy Bell! You'll take the 'lead' In each 'trip' we take, Then if I don't do well, I will permit you to Use the brake, My beautiful Daisy Bell!
