Wallets.



I just got an amazing coach purse for Christmas. Believe me, I'm one of those tom girlish gals. I've had the same purse for ages, so it's a bit of freshness. I was putting my wallet in the newness, and noticed they don't match. The wallet is a leather, old fossil mess. It has seen better days. I've been looking at new ones, but can't figure out which one I really want. Why is it, that you always want the most expensive of anything? ha. Help me out you guys. Which one would look nice with a red, leather purse?

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?


Somewhere in Atlanta, GA is a wall with my face on it. A name, that will not be mentioned, took the liberty to create this piece. In doing so kinda creeped me out a little. If anyone knows of this, could you please let me know where it might be? OR if I now have a mustache, cause that'd be great.

I'm not knocking the creation, I think it's lovely. The shading and colors are very nice. It takes a lot of practice to make something that big look that good. Although, I don't think my lips are like that. ^_^

Merge of two Amazing Artists-Broken Bells


Be still my heart! I've just learned that Danger Mouse, the other half of Gnarls Barkley, and James Mercer, front man of The Shins, have merged to form Broken Bells. The single "High Road" is just a sample of how amazing the album will be. I have an immense amount of faith that their album will give lots of people ear candy. The two have worked together on Danger Mouse's album Dark Night of the Soul forming the song "Insane Lullaby."

The album will be available on March 9, 2010. Check out their mp3 at www.brokenbells.com.

individual yumminess


Sometimes you want something special that is just for you. A personal dish or pie that is small enough to eat in one sitting. I'm a big fan of individual dishes such as personal pies or mini cakes. I've been collecting some recipes from a couple sites and I would love to share with you.

Thit kho to (Vietnamese Caramelized Pork)


OMG! I can't wait to make this! I'm not the best cook, but I feel like I can do this. Although, it's been a hard time for pork belly. Everytime I go to the Publix or Kroger, the belly of the pork has been disappearing. My friend Vinh, has told me asian food is getting very popular to make at home, therefore it's hard to find pork belly. I dunno, about that, but it's true that I never see it. I think you can use any part, but I want to do it how the recipe says. If this sounds good to you, you can check out the recipe here: Ny Times Recipe

Neck, why so naked?


I love these necklaces!! I just want a whole wall covered with them. I think these would liven up a simple dress, or even a tank top.

We Were Promised Jetpacks


I'm not Scottish. I live in a city where accents are usually southern. Even fake accents make me happy. When I heard "Silent Little Voices" by We Were Promised Jetpacks, my heart was fluttery. The leadsinger, Adam Thompson, voice is strong and scottishy. The arrangements in the music work very well with the lyrics. I don't get bored where they take me.
