I know I should wear an apron when cooking, but I don’t.
(An apron would prevent the numerous greasy stains on my clothes. It would’ve also averted that nasty burn I got on my boob from a glob of jumping oil. Why was I cooking naked? Don’t ask.)
However, this Measurement Conversion Apron is cute AND functional – especially for American r-tards like me who are mathematically challenged and uninformed in the ways of the metric system.

I can’t remember the last time I sent a postcard but these Telegram Postcards from Girl Of All Work would surely give me an excuse to start again!
Actually, they’re so pretty that I may just tack them to a bulletin board to admire. Or perhaps I’ll gift them to a friend who will send me one as a thank-you?

About a year ago, the creators of Family Guy announced that a follow-up to the knee-slappingly funny spoof of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Blue Harvest, was in the works.
If you are a Star Wars or Family Guy fan who hasn’t watched
“Blue Harvest,” shame on you. Go pick up a copy now.
And at Comic-Con last week the cast, creator, and writers of Family Guy shed some more light on what will be a spoof of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back: Something, Something, Something Dark Side.
Although the hour-long special was originally set to air as the finale to Season 7, it has been pushed back to Christmas 2009. The director of Blue Harvest, Dominic Polcino, has been tapped to direct the sequel and fan-favorite James Woods will also make a cameo.
If Something is nearly as good as the first spoof, we will not be disappointed. And, as a large majority of Star Wars fans cite Empire Strikes Back as their favorite of the six films, we definitely have something to look forward to this holiday season.
(And just FYI, my favorite Star Wars movie is Return of the Jedi. I like to be different from the crowd.

OfficeTally, a blog about NBC’s The Office (one of my favorite shows ever) just posted this image, accompanied only with the words “But what are they for? Clues coming soon…”
Ack! I’ve already written about my love for boardgames and Monopoly. Parker Brothers, please tell me that you’re publishing a The Office edition of Monopoly!
Dear Michael Lau,
I love your work. Seriously, I do. As one of the world’s most popular premium toy figure designers, your work commands respect and recognition. And I am happy to oblige.
But why must you price your figures so damn high?

To all my readers using WordPress: have you heard of Divine? It is a newly released tool/plugin that lets you create websites from Photoshop to WordPress in just 5 minutes…
…for free.
The Divine website explains that you can convert any Photoshop design to a WordPress theme in just four simple steps:
As expected, the Divine website features tutorials, videos, and forums.
I currently host this blog on Squarespace and I love it. However, as a web developer/designer I am familiar with, and presently work with other CMS such as WordPress and Joomla. And as someone who has a toe in the vast pool of internet marketing, I can’t deny that WordPress is the most popular blog platform out there.
I will definitely download Divine and tinker around with it…perhaps even use it for my next WordPress project. In the meantime, I would love to hear from current users of this nifty tool!

I’m loving these Unfinished Clocks from the MoMA Store:
Designed to be placed on shelves or mantles, it’s a simple and ingenius way to incorporate the functionality of a clock with its surroundings. Not to mention, the red round version would look great against my boxy black bedroom furniture…

I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
