For some reason, whenever things get really bad I get the urge to make stuff with yarn. I learned how to crochet afghans and knit lace socks and make little amigurumi animals after some of the worst times of my life. That huge ridiculous wall hanging I wrote about a while ago saved me from […]

  I have been trying to buy a garbage can and an alarm clock for TWO MONTHS and I’m kind of starting to lose it. This shouldn’t be that hard, right? Remember back in the old days, when you needed a clock, so you got in the car and went to Target and picked out […]

What’s that you say? Finals? Next week? That can’t possibly be true, because I’m way too busy bothering the dog and poking around on the internet to even think about studying. I mean, the Craigslist used furniture section isn’t going to browse itself, guys. My finals workload is actually extremely small this semester, but it […]

  So, I’m not a fan of holiday decor. I want to avoid sounding super Grinch-y about this, but that might be impossible because I basically am the Grinch, minus the grand larceny. I don’t exactly  hate Christmas, I just really… don’t care. Growing up, my family didn’t have any real Christmas traditions (or at least none […]

Sorry this is a little late, but I got back from New York on Tuesday afternoon and then the entire fucking world exploded at 1 am on Wednesday, so I’m sure you understand. In light of recent events, I just want to take this time to implore everyone to look past our differences, and to […]

  Oh man, you guys, it’s been an exhausting two weeks. I took on a design project that ate up a ton of my time and ended up being a complete disaster (lesson learned: if someone won’t give you a specific budget in dollars, ABANDON SHIP), my new semester at school started (which is awesome but […]

(NB: I just got done watching the first new episode of Black Mirror so I am feeling all kinds of gross and uncomfortable while I write this. That show is a creepy masterpiece but boy do I hate watching it.) So I have to confess that I do not totally understand what the One Room […]
