It’s actually a really, really good thing that my favorite cheap beer is no longer enhanced with vitamins for my health, BECAUSE I JUST FOUND $2 SCHLITZ IN NEW YORK CITY. YOU CAN’T EVEN GET SCHLITZ THAT CHEAP IN INDIANAPOLIS ANYMORE. (via Sociological Images)

It’s kind of weird that it took me this long to find out about Craftivist Collective. I adore this.

I love hedgehogs. I had two as pets when I was younger!

My best friend Maddy came to visit this past weekend. Our previous few visits had been fun but exhausting whirlwinds, so this time we stayed in and focused all our energy (of which we had plenty, since our second main activity was sleeping) on making and eating excellent food:

• macaroni & cheese with caramelized onions & goat cheese
• brussels sprouts (perfect when sautéed in butter over high heat)
• homemade peppermint ice cream
• sandwiches from Wan (best sandwiches in Boston!)
• waffles
• french bread smeared with roasted garlic
• homemade ravioli (spinach pasta, cheese filling) in tomato sauce
• salted brown butter crispy treats
• crepes and Nutella milkshakes from the Paris Creperie

Oh, and the drinks!

• apple cider with Southern Comfort
• grown-up eggnog
• gin & tonics with key limes
• champagne with grenadine & pomegranate arils

It was a very good weekend. I would like to do it again soon.

I think I’m getting the cough you started to get! Well worth it, though. I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend in Boston!

KRS ONE: “I am not just saying this because you [a woman] are asking the question, this is my real answer: More women. More women. Not just emcees or b-girls, but women taking control of hip-hop. Let me be culturally-specific- hip-hop’s women should teach hip-hop’s men how to speak to them. Because when we learn how to speak to you, we can learn how to speak to the whole business world. It’s not just about respecting you…it is…but it’s deeper than just respecting another human being. Everytime you degrade a person, you degrade yourself, because you are standing next to that person. You can’t diss a person, and not diss yourself…I should say ‘she’s a queen.’ And what does that make me? A king. So now at the end of the day, what’s missing in hip-hop? Knowledge of self, that should only come from women. I know that sounds feminist, but that’s real talk.

I mean, I don’t totally agree that it is the responsibility of the targets of bigotry and insult to correct the bigots and insult-slingers, but well-said, KRS One.

Some more pictures using jelly yarn. This time with the lights on!

Planning to scale these up so they’re really BIG! Made some giant knitting needles in the workshop the other day, I’ll have to post a picture of them soon!
