Bionic Body Parts

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that when asked which body part you would like to have made bionic, women choose their brain and men choose their penises. Still, it’s pretty funny. Watch the video! Thanks you Feministing!

Mim is MIA

Sorry for the non-blogging lately… I’m knitting like a fiend on the really boring portion of the secret lace and work has been sucking the life out of me. Only 7 days until my vacation!!! That’s what got me pulling through. That and Arctic Monkeys on repeat… VERY LOUD in my headphones. M

Magical Moon

Rings on her fingers and Bells on her Toes

C and I went in search of earrings this weekend. I bought a pair and he said they weren’t pretty enough to do me justice, which, while being sweet is totally not the answer I was looking for when I asked if he liked them. After a bit of prying I discovered that he thinks […]

With Special Thanks to the US Government

Woot! The real-job grant that made me crazy all last fall has been approved and funded for the next 5 years! *dances*
