This NYC couple simply paints a picture of what they want, auctions it off for the price of the actual item, and then goes out and purchases it. If only this was possible for everyone. But really, who wants the same thing for long enough to duplicate it on canvas?
Want(ed): Another Guitar for Guitar Hero 2, bought for $64.98 (20″ x 16″ canvas)

I was just reading one of the blogs I visit frequently and was linked to ReadyMade Magazine’s website.
Their tagline is “A Bimonthly Print Magazine for People Who Like to Make Stuff.” I find this hilarious because when people ask what my hobbies are, I always tell them that I like to “make stuff.” There is no one type of thing that I make, I constantly come up with things I could improve on, or create from scratch. Although I’m sure you have noticed that lately I’ve been on a home furnishings “making stuff” spree.

The International Spy Museum recently opened a new exhibit featuring an interactive experience. Operation Spy allows the audience to participate in a simulated search for the bad guy, akin to something from 24. And no, this shameless plug has nothing to do with me working for their ad agency, it’s just a cool exhibit! Read an article describing the experience.

I guess I’ve waited long enough to reply to Russell’s post… so here goes.
Rules:
- We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
- Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
- People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules.
- At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and that they should read your blog.
Ready? Go.
1. My favorite color is PMS 320C
2. When I was 10 I went on a trip to visit my grandparents in Pennsylvania with my dad. He was speeding on the way there and was pulled over by a police officer. He purposefully didn’t speak to the officer, thinking I wouldn’t realize what was going on. We stayed in Pennsylvania for a three-day weekend and as soon as we arrived back home, I ran up to my mom and screamed, “Daddy got a speeding ticket!” I guess you can’t hide anything from me!
3. I love to make jewelry for my friends, family, and coworkers (as well as myself of course). I usually make them as gifts, but I occasionally take “freelance work” and design a necklace by request. Shoot me an email if you’re interested. Maybe I will make an etsy store someday…
4. My favorite fonts are georgia (serif) and century gothic (sans serif)
5. I once took an online quiz hoping to find out where I should move, apparently Michigan is where I want to be.
6. I used to hate the color pink and would refuse to be associated with anything vaguely resembling it. Then I tried to dye my hair bright red… guess what color it turned out to be…
7. Last year my mom and I went parasailing. We brought a camera along to document the activity but apparently my camera is too difficult to use as the pictures didn’t turn out. So here is an illustration…
8. This past winter I traveled to Lesotho (in Africa) and stayed with a nice family in the capital city, Maseru, for a month. Here, my host brothers, Tlotli and Khosi listen to The Lion King soundtrack on my ipod. I later sent them the movie on VHS so they could watch it.
That’s all, I hope you enjoyed reading my secrets!
Oh yea, and I tag…

I don’t know anyone else, haha.

Surfing Craigslist today, I stumbled upon this amazing gem of a house.
Tucked away in Oella, MD, minutes away from historic Ellicott City, this converted barn has recently had a face lift. Read more about “Bohemian Rhapsody” which was featured in Baltimore Style magazine. I would love to rent this little cottage! Think I can convince my fiance that it’s manly enough?

A 63 year old man from France will attempt to break a skydiving world record in the next few days when he jumps headfirst from space. He will apparently be moving at speeds of 1,000mph on his descent to Earth. If he succeeds, he will be the first person to break the sound barrier in free-fall. Good Luck old man!

After a short hiatus, just a few little random things…
First, I was browsing Etsy.com (if you haven’t been there, it’s a must see for do-it-yourselfers, or if you just want to look like one) and I found this adorable necklace a-la Ann Taintor.
And second, my cousin is teaching Biology in Guyana for a year and she has set up a blog to share her experiences there. She hasn’t updated it yet but when she does I’m sure it will be a good read.
