Mothership: Customization Part II

Mothership: Customization Part II

Mothership gives you free reign to design your ideal custom tee There are certain terms that make me cringe. “Piggy-backing” is one of them. Every single work/ school related thing I’ve ever been a part that deals with issues like “sensitivity,” “feelings” or “teamwork” has somehow incorporated “piggy-backing” into the vernacular. “Grrrreat Carla… Thanks for...

I used to live in Park Slope… way back in the day (well, actually 2001)… and to this day it’s still one of my favorite places. Anyway you should definitely check out the Brooklyn Designers Market if you’re in the area July 22 from 10-6. I would write more but this is only a 10min...

Sleep/ Shop I won’t be doing either for a long time

Mmmm… see that big comfy pillow from Swigg? I won’t be seeing that for a while… Alas, my giant bar/bri book has become my pillow and my dreams are about consideration and assignment… but you, my non-studying friend should stop by Swigg and check out Stephanie’s cute collection of pillows. The Swigg Critters II would...

Diamonds are forever… and my studying is never ending…

So… its 4th of July weekend and I just wrapped up an 8-hour day of studying. Ask me about Congressional authority… go ahead… ask me! Anyway, since the night sky will be lighting up in a couple days I thought I’d write about a different kind “bling…” the kind that thumbs its nose at gaudiness...
