shut up we're in love

Not much has been happening to my body lately so here's the story of my heart instead

Work is stupid. I want a small home, and I want to put golden antlers with ribbons and bones and photos hanging from them above the mantle, and I want to fill the house with streamers and Christmas lights, and I want to make paper pyramid floor lamps covered in hieroglyphics and secret messages. And I want to eat dinner on the floor and listen to music as loud as I want and run around the house

I've really been trying to make more things lately and I realized that a good way to do that is to make gifts for people. This is an embroidery of the island featured in the television show "Lost," which I have recently become a fan of. This pillow case is for a friend of mine who is pretty much obsessed with this TV show. Anyhow, I really like the aesthetic of this piece and it's also nice to

I like bands that are kinda bad the way I like men who are kinda ugly (ugly hot, it’s a real thing). Gap teeth, scars, birthmarks, a big or crooked nose, adorably misguided fashion choices, or a few early gray hairs are just a few items on the LONG list of physical imperfections that unaccountably turn me on. But sometimes a guy is just so objectively handsome, and such a swell fellow on top of

I finally went to see Star Trek last night. The top two things i came away from the experience with are:1) J.J. Abrams loves time travel so much he wants to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant2) The Enterprise is so full of Hotties as to render this film basically a chick flick. Maybe you prefer the

New HP. Well fuck.When I read the first Harry Potter book, I did so in one sitting, then promptly forgot the entire thing. Whenever a new one came out I would read ALL of them over again with undiminished zeal in preparation, and finally hunker down with my brand new hardcover, complete with awesome cover designs of various magical happenings.I had basically forgotten there were any more Harry

The Sweptaways are a HUGE a capella choir of good looking well-heeled Swedish ladies (myspace, or, if you read Swedish, blog), and that's about as much as I know about them. On their second album, The Sweptaways Show, the ladies are joined on each track by a different pop singer, including one or two familiar names, like JENS and Pelle Almqvist from The Hives (who kissed my hand at a show when

Ok, it's too gorgeous outside to sit around indoors writing. But i do want to share something quickly. In Berlin I was fortunate enough to make the acquaintance of two incredibly talented people from Riga, Latvia. VJ Linards Kulless (who has a sparse internet presence, mostly in Latvian, so no links) and DJ Galka Kulio.Galka is a costume designer, DJ, and artist. When I met her in Berlin I

I've finally had some free time on my hands so here are some buttons I made from images from old children's books. These are all the pictures I could find of birds that were small enough to go on a button.Also, on a side note, check the new header at the top of the blog. I made that too!posted by: Carissa

Carissa is team Carmissa's resident expert on slow jamz, so I may be getting in a little over my head here- but rainy days call for slow songs and man is it ever raining out today.Growing up, my tastes gradually shifted from alt rock radio, to punk rock, finally to indie rock when I started ninth grade at the dawn of the current millenium. At that time my sonic landscape was populated with the

The internet and I are new friends, we've been on a couple dates, he tried to feel me up once, but I don't want to get too physical because I'm not sure I trust him yet. So, you know, we are still getting to know each other and I discover some unexpected facet of his personality every day. With this in mind, I confess that even though I've listened to a bunch of Daytrotter tracks I haven't

In Berlin I didn't have a whole lot of internet access and phone calls were difficult so I was basically cut off from family and friends in North America. This resulted in obsessive journaling, which evolved into obsessive drawing as a sort of short hand. A picture is worth a thousand words and all that. In keeping with our mission statement, and in recognition of the value of making things
