Yay for Plastic Bling

The best part about Etsy is that it feels human.


I found this ring on sale from Plastique and bought it. In the comments section asked them to send it in a container that would fit in a mail slot (not that it would take a big box to pack a ring but you never know). Any other site would probably ignore my request. Instead, Jen wrote me back right away ensuring that she’d wrapped the ring up all snug in a tiny envelope, and it’d be in the mail tomorrow.

What a nice shop. Buy some plastic from them.

What I’m reading

You may remember Miranda July from Me, You and Everyone We Know. These are some of her short stories.

Short, sad and strangely sexual. It's not a self-help book, but it might help you. Read it on your commute unless you drive. That would be dangerous.

I love paper and glue.

I like to cut up paper and glue it to other pieces of paper. Generally after this, I hang it on a wall for a bit, or glue onto ANOTHER piece of paper in a notebook. Wow, how exciting is that?

Where do friends come from?

Social Graph is pretty neat. It shows all your Facebook friends in their real world circles aka shows you where your friends come from in real life.

My graph shows that I’ve isolated my family, went to college with all the same people from high school and now my friends are all from work or Aeryn Daboin. Huh.
