Intermission from Consumption (random post of the month)
You all know the drill. The eerily human, yet clearly robotic voice answers the phone. “Hello, welcome to (insert company here) para el español, prensa tres. Please listen carefully to the options as they have changed…” If you’re anything like me you HATE that electronic woman. By option number 5, she has usually failed to...
The gift of personalization (Gift Idea #05).
(click on logos for links) There’s some debate among experts as to whether the customization trend has passed… but based on the number of people wearing last year’s UGG boots, (sorry, I know I said I’d stop), its clear that “the people” dictate what trends will last, not the so-called experts. Thus I present perfect...

You don’t look cute
You don’t look cute, (originally posted in 2005, 2008 edits in red). Trust me when I say this. Think of me as your close friend. That friend who tells you when you still have zit cream on your face during your 9am class. That friend in your office who tells you when you still...

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been a huge designer jean fan. The whole process of shopping for them is not only expensive, but confusing. 7 for all mankind, Citizens of Humanity, and didn’t express come out with some 7- inspired jean of their own? A while back while on a personal tour...
Life uncensored
This is going to be a crazy week so I’ll keep it short… There was no better way to start it than with the Boondocks (last night 11pm on [adult swim]).. I mean, really, all I can say is, “wow, he said that…. on TV.” For a much needed change of pace from reality TV...
