I work as an artist and graphic designer as my day job. In my spare time I also like to be creative by running my handmade business, cooking, gardening, and fixing up our home. Is there such a thing as creative overload? Too many projects? Not enough time? Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by this and [...]

Poor Raoul. He has to deal with me forgetting where I place things all the time. This happens on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis. I am always misplacing things, especially my pink Canon camera.

We had a chance to see Henry Rollins recently on his talking tour. He is an amazing speaker, so I highly recommend his performances. We had a great time hearing his tales of touring with Black Flag, working with National Geographic, and visiting Costco. You can read more about the show we saw here in [...]

I had the crafty bug at a young age. During high school I felt the need to make my own t-shirts of bands I loved. I did this because I could not always find shirts of the bands I liked, nor was I old enough to attend gigs. DIY or die!

Ernessa says: It feels so weird to not be making any resolutions this year. Some people love this time of the year because of the gift exchanges, time spent with family, goodwill toward man, blah, blah, blah — but I’ve always been a resolution girl myself. I love making the list and mustering up my [...]

Amy Says: To continue my streak of disliking the stuff everybody else likes (ie. I didn’t care for A VISIT FROM THE GOON SQUAD, which so many others loved…maybe I should be the “On the Contrary” guy next year. I swear to g*d I’m not doing this on purpose.) In my humble opinion, ONCE UPON [...]

Amy says: Can a remake of a BBC show be considered new? If so, then PRIME SUSPECT is my pick for the best new TV of the year. Maria Bello is awesome in everything I’ve ever seen her in. Detective procedurals aren’t normally my thing, but I love the complexity of the characters here. Some [...]
