Okay, so technically they’re called mohop. But The Infinity Sandal is a damn good nickname! Normally, I consider the blurbs from Seattle Picks to be a tad too recycled and wordy (I know, I know, soooo ironic) for my taste. But this one really looks like a gem. And in case you haven’t realized, that… Continue reading The Infinity Sandal

Humans love wheatgrass too!
A bunch of my coworkers have been sick lately, and I started to feel like I was coming down with something last Thursday and Friday. I was very determined not to let myself fall ill yet again this year, as I had had quite enough illness with that bout of mono that caused me to… Continue reading Humans love wheatgrass too!
Run Stop
I had a weird little flashback to childhood the other day, when I came across an odd button in the elevator at my doctor’s office. The button, instead of reading “STOP” or “Emergency”, read RUN STOP, kind of like the old Commodore 64 keyboards. I don’t think I’ve seen that command (outside of the fake… Continue reading Run Stop
HOBO failure
Holy crap, has HOBO International failed us this time. I literally did a triple take a few weeks ago when I stumbled upon this display at Nordstrom — trust me, the photo doesn’t do it justice, because these bags will SCAR YOUR RETINAE. The colors are the same fluorescent neons of my 80s childhood, and… Continue reading HOBO failure
A new marketing concept I *don’t* hate!
We just spotted this little vehicle when we were at brunch this weekend. I normally don’t love cars that are totally 100% decked out in marketing hype — too flashy for my taste. However, Grant spotted this nifty little detail on the side: a built-in card holder! Kinda cool, different, and WAY more welcome than… Continue reading A new marketing concept I *don’t* hate!
Word Salad
I recently got a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, so I could type by dictation. (This decision arose partly from recurring tennis elbow that makes typing painful, and partly from my frustratingly long commutes from Redmond.) I thought I could dictate the text of the book I’m working on for my online dating consultation company while… Continue reading Word Salad
Aah, Choo!
I swore I wouldn’t wear heels at my wedding. I SWORE. I didn’t want to be any taller, I didn’t want to be uncomfortable, and I didn’t want to trip when I walked down the aisle or danced with my dad. But guess what? JIMMY CHOOS AT THE RACK FOR $100. Beautiful, delicate off-white silk… Continue reading Aah, Choo!
Piece of Mind
So there’s this stupid little head shop in Fremont and Lake City called Piece of Mind. Now you MIGHT think that’s a cute little pun, but let’s examine things closer. Take a look at their logo to the left. So that’s a PEACE symbol, right? Like, world peace, peace on earth, peace and goodwill. Or… Continue reading Piece of Mind

Wedding B(r)ands
Found out a great way to permanently recognize your union the other day. 1) Put on your engagement/wedding ring after washing hair. 2) Hold the dryer in the ring-free hair, and use your ringed hand to finger-comb hair while it’s drying, taking care to expose the ring itself to the stream of very hot air.… Continue reading Wedding B(r)ands
