Scrap Life #3: New Skin, Old Sole
Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

I can’t really begin the third entry in the Scrap Life series without getting a bit into a product review, sorry:
It’s tricky to be a conscious consumer, balancing function and form with cost and ethics. For most of my life I have rocked cheap shoes, but I had decided that if I ever [...]

The empty container of ice cream in the fridge
Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

There’s needs to be a word to describe the sadness you feel when you open that refrigerator door and discover your roommate has devoured the last of your ice cream.
Not that the ice cream was super exceptional or anything, but maybe it was a rough day, the worst, perhaps you were fired from your job… [...]

Scrap Life #2: Calico Wallet
Saturday, June 24th, 2006

So the first Scrap Life project was a no brainer.
I’m-a make a wallet.
Now the wallet design that I went for was based on a gift from my buddy Zo. I made it at a craft night at my new friend Rachel’s apartment. She was really cool to let me use her supplies and her kick [...]

Scrap Life #1: My LoveLife Bag
Friday, June 23rd, 2006

A few months ago I blogged about going to LoveLife Bags on 16th and Mission and picking out my own bag. They actually let you pick out the fabric, trim, tags, and style of bag at the shop. It usually takes up to 6 weeks, but I think mine was done in 2 or 3.
Due [...]

Ice age in the frozen foods section
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

The line at Mitchell’s Ice Cream was huge yesterday, as it tends to be on hot Mission nights.
“Now calling number 21″.
I looked down at our ticket, number 59. There where 38 groups of people ahead of us.
So Shan and I walked an extra block to the freezer section of the nearby Safeway.
Apparently a giant comet [...]

Going into the studio today
Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

So I’ve been working on remix work for the last week, reworking some songs for Sandman and working on some art for an upcoming Robot Friend project.
Today I’m going into Studio 132 to lay down some vox to Twisting Cherry Stems. I’m using a Baddd Spellah beat and can’t wait to belt out the song. [...]

I was totally let go yesterday
Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

This came as a total shock, I was at work, booking a new 52 week backpage ad, when I got called into my managers office.
He was there with his new assistant who closed the door as I entered the room:
“We are going to make this quick, unless you have any questions. We are going to [...]

Master of Costumes
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

There’s a new boutique on lower fourteenth, right beside the space where Needles and Pens used to be*. It’s owned by Miranda Carol and primarily features her own designs, however my friend Bethanne has some jewelry there too.
For the show, I wanted our team to have some decent costumes, so I went to Ross [...]

Bender’s Fire
Monday, June 12th, 2006

When my train pulled into the Jack London Sqaure stop last night, I finally had a chance to check a weeks worth of Metro PCS voicemails. Several people had called me to break the bad news. Benders Bar and Grill on 19th and S Van Ness had a late night fire, and appears to be [...]

Under where?
Thursday, June 8th, 2006

Wait for an hour, rehearse for an hour, move to another location, wait for a couple more hours, get ready to leave, wait for an hour an a half. That’s the day.
Rehearsal was great, we nailed the last one perfectly today. If we can do that on friday night, this will be fantastic. The [...]
