Renegade 2011

It's been a few years since I've been to Renegade Craft Fair, and that's a shame! It was glorious! I was a bit on the broke side, but I did spend most of my time collecting cards like crazy, and plan to search for a handful of the sellers and purchase some awesome handmade things in the near future.

I didn't write down all the shops (cause I'm a failbot), so apologies if I miss some here (let me know if you recognize any of them and I'll link properly).

Mojo Spa is too cute for words. And a local store!

 The only thing I bought: from Ryan Berkley Illustration. A shark in a suit bottle opener. He's my Erik/Magneto, so now I can open all the bottles!

 Brian Gubicza

 Cussing Cozies

They had free pins if you wore them around the fair.

 Took a break for a delicious veggie slider and apple cider from Mana.

Red Boots Design

 Purple Hippo Stitches

Another Random Sunday

Another Sunday. Another batch of random things I've done this week.

Ashlee, being cool.

 Friends' punk band, Shift. Always awesome.

Wallace being a basket cat.

Finally saw the new Jane Eyre. Pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. I'd recommend it to any period drama fans. Though why every incarnation I've seen never included Rochester getting his vision back, I don't know. It seems like it'd be a happier note to end on.

Also started watching White Collar at my new roommate Becca's suggestion. Nearly done with season 1 and I'm on the fence if I like it enough to keep going. I think if they lost a case every once in a while, had more three dimensional minor characters (aside from Elizabeth and Mozz) and Neil met someone who didn't fall at his feet the second he smiled (and got rid of those turtlenecks), I'd be more on board.

Yeah, I spent most of the week watching TV and vegging out. I justify it cause I have a big week ahead with friends coming into town and shows and overtime at work. And yeah, it's gonna be a long, sleep deprived, and fun week.

surfing the internet like the good ole days

We didn't have much going on today, so I spent a good amount of time searching for new sites to entertain me.
And I found two!
They're both completely random and fun to visit when you're bored (*coughatworkcough*)

Neatorama!

and

Geekosystem!

They're nothing new, but I just discovered them, and am instantly in love with their random blend of pop culture, geekyness in all forms, and historical parody.
Also, finally found Hell Yes, Hipster Disney which makes me laugh.
I clearly have too much time on my hands.

dropping the ball

I keep forgetting to update, cause, well, not much has been going on. Just filling out a lot of paper work for my new job and a whole lot of watching...

I'm halfway through 7. I keep watching it alone at night, which is not the best idea. And I know what's gonna happen in just a tiny bit, and I'm not looking forward to it. But I still love this show. I'm gonna be sad when I'm finished with it.

I'm also thinking of doing another 50 books this year. I got my roomie/best friend Ashlee into it and she's about three books in and so now I'm jonesing to do it again. Which means I should hit up a used book store or start frequenting the library since I'm down to my last ten or so books on my shelf. We'll see how the next couple of weeks go. As always, I'd love some recommendations on books.

On a useless update note: I finished Lego Harry Potter the other day. It was kinda lame by the end. As if a lego game could be anything but.

Knitting, TV, and reading. My last week of idle hermit living has been going quite smoothly, if I do say so myself.

Redesigning

Short update.
I've decided to slightly revamp this blog. Got a new layout, new names for the blog and Etsy store.Starting to plan out new projects and items to add to the store and such.
Oh! And on an unrelated note, I got a job! I'm now a quality assurance...person at Groupon. I start in little over a week and I'm stoked to have an actual, permanent, adult-like job. It has a salary and everything.
So yeah.
Pretty awesome way to start the weekend.
