Drive by idiocracy

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

If you never took science beyond grade 5 you don’t claim that you are a rocket scientist and start giving engineering advise. If the only thing you have ever baked was by a 20 watt light bulb in an easy bake oven, chances are you wont right a book about the secrets of fine cuisine. […]

Graduation

Friday, June 1st, 2007

                                             
And today, I graduate…well kind of. As with everything else about my Interior Design Program, it is a rather blurry and abstract convocation. You see at 2pm I show up in my long blue gown and wait for my name to be called so that I might accept the scroll which […]

Jabuntu?

Friday, April 27th, 2007

MOMA Store Shinies!

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

My attention span could give a magpie a run for his money. I love Shinies. I once bought a large basketball shaped yellow citrus fruit , not knowing what was inside , just because it made me smile. Cute, eccentric, in need of medication, you be the judge. This time it is not fruit but […]

Well it has been a lovely hiatus, but the time has come for me to bring back my blog. It was a busy semester and there was just no time for the pod cast, school, work and the blog. Now, I am back. And what will be the first blog of my return you ask? […]

Well it has been a rough semester, but I am still alive even though my blog appears to be dead and I want to pick it up where I left off! While trying to convince Jonathan to buy me a MAC-( since I can have boot camp now!) I will be playing around with various […]
