New Year, New Resolutions

Gutentaug my dahling Interwebz! Happy (belated by about a week) New Year!

I've been neglecting you again, and for that, I do apologize. My life has been work, sleep, (maybe) eat, rinse, wash, repeat for the past 4-ish months or so. I did laundry last night for the first time in..oh...an embarrassing amount of time that I won't tell you because, well, it's disgusting. And when washing my dirty laundry, I began thinking about all I've accomplished in the past year and all that I hope to accomplish this upcoming year to make it even better than the last. So..I thought I'd share!

Last year, I won a few design awards, graduated from the toughest four years I've experienced, went to Vegas and survived, moved out of my beloved Brooklyn to a new apartment on the Upper East Side, started a twitter (self promo, so sue me), got a new job, made some ridiculously awesome new people, grew out my hair, chopped it all off, started dating again, met a few losers, met a few winners, and did it all with the best group of friends I've ever had by my side ridiculing me for my antics along the way--just the way I like it.

This year I hope to do more of the same with a bit more punch and pizazz added in for good measure. I hope to get a "legit" job--you know, the kind that pays me for designing stuff that I want to be designing (a girl can dream!). I hope to see more of those epic friends who make me laugh so hard. I hope to continue dating the wrong sort of guys so I can meet the right one for me. I hope to laugh at all of my mistakes, there's bound to be a plethora of new ones this year. I hope to work hard and continue to expand my business ventures. I hope to see my family more. I hope to start thinking of myself as my own (gasp) adult person-thingie and to start taking care of business, just like Aretha.

And above all, I hope to finally install that damn hanging lamp in my living room. That's just been pissing me off.

Do you have any hopes for the New Year, Interweb? Lose a few of those Spam-site pounds? Not that you need it, I think you're beautiful just as you are. Minus the pop-ups. Those have to go.

Punch Out

Holy bawlz Batman!


Think of the damage that this ring would do! I have a pretty massive two finger ring that I like to call my "Brooklyn Ring" that I used to wear when I had to walk home from studio late at night. You know, just in case someone tried to accost, I could punch them in the face with my heavy duty BK ring and they would run away (...in reality, I'm sure I'd miss their face and they would steal my BK ring, computer, phone, bag and any loose change I had on me.)

I love.

SPARKLES.

Praise to the God of SPARKLE! My new motto is that hula hooping and sparkles make everything better--it's true, don't deny it! So I just about had a happiness hernia when I came across this amazing polish!

I die. This little bottle would make my day. Nay, my whole holiday season!


ps You can buy it here if any of you were thinking of sending this epicness my way...

It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL THIS WEEKEND--especially after the nasty week we've had-- It's spring. I'm over the snow/slush. I just want to be outside, but I have SO much work to do in Rhino this weekend. Isn't that always the case?

I want to just walk around and procrastinate. Oh well, I'm just going to leave my windows open while I Rhino it up.

Library

How awesome would it be to have a library in your house?

I think that I want one. New goal.

Addiction

Mythbusters is my new favorite show.

Ever since I found it on Netflix, I've been unable to stop watching. I'm addicted. My day has been full of explosions, guns, duct tape, lasers, physics and design



...and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. It's too good.

Christmas Carol

In honor of the Holidays, I leave you this Christmas Carol.

An instant favorite.

A Full Buffet

"In the military is it acceptable, is it acceptable to be a cafeteria American, what I mean to say is, should soldiers and the government be able to pick and choice what we are fighting for in the Constitution? Or who we are fighting for. I wasn’t aware of this ambiguity in our Constitution. I thought the Constitution was the ultimate, I thought equality was non negotiable."

"Because I thought this was an ‘all you can eat’ buffet. This equality stuff, I thought equality meant everyone."

I am so proud of Lady Gaga. She's used her fame and popularity to stand up for her beliefs and show others that it's okay to do the same. Her speech, not only brought tears to my eyes, but pride in my fellow citizens who choose to have a voice, and not just to sit idly by; watching while important decisions are made for them.

Thank you, Lady Gaga for lending a voice to those who are forced not to have one by an outdated and unequal rule.

Equality is prime rib--that we all deserve a fair chance to eat.

Yes, Yes You Are.

Ditto.

I also say a big SCREW YOU. People should be allowed to love and be with whomever they choose. It's not someone else's right to dictate their choices.

This is an issue of equality, people. It's the 21st century. Come on.

Legit.

Born with a Black Hat
