By jesser | Published: 8:48 pm

We were down on State Street a couple of weeks ago and we went into this funky shop that had the typical sort of stuff you see in places like Uncommon Goods. The shop was fairly average, but upstairs, there was an Art-O-Mat. I'd read about them on the net, so I jumped at the [...]

Confirmed!

By jesser | Published: 4:17 pm

Well they've confirmed the title of the sixth Harry Potter book. JK Rowling put it up as an easter egg on her website for her fans to find and they did. It took me forever to locate it, but it's really cool. Anyhow, the title will be Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. JK has [...]

Joe Schmo 2

By jesser | Published: 9:49 am

I wasn't going to watch TV regularly this summer, but Matt has proved to be a bad influence on me. He is hooked on Joe Schmo 2. This year they've picked 2 schmos to dupe into believing they're on a reality series. The guy is totally believing it, but the girl, Ingrid, is totally suspicious. [...]

All About Summerfest

By jesser | Published: 8:33 am

I like this picture becaus it's sort of the essence of Summerfest: all sorts of different people coming together to listen to music and drink beer. If you've never been to Summerfest, it's hard to imagine just what it's like. I wasn't expecting anything too big, but Summerfest is HUGE. The stages aren't temporary either [...]

Fab Weekend

By jesser | Published: 5:10 pm

We had an absolutely fab weekend (as the title indicates). We saw Simon and Garfunkel on Friday night, which was … amazing They're truly musicians and they put on a great show. Tons of different instruments and musicians. I don't think Paul Simon played the same guitar twice … they played all of our faves [...]

Crafting

By jesser | Published: 10:47 pm

In my normal course of surfing around I happened to visit Ready Made. They have a really cool project up right now, the slide lamp. I don't even have a 35-mm camera anymore, but I'm going to have to scare one up and take a couple of rolls of slide film and try this out. [...]

Plans

By jesser | Published: 2:48 pm

I was surfing around when I came across the Tour De France website. I don't watch it, but my dad is into it and so it's a kind of peripheral interest of mine. So I took a look at the site and they had a really cool graphic feel. And I wanted a desktop wallpaper [...]

Sick!

By jesser | Published: 8:55 am

I've been sick! I still am (kinda). I had a really bad day of allergies which somehow morphed into a cold?! Or at least that's how it seemed. It haas been an annoying illness, because I don't feel that bad. I'm great to lounge around the house and do light housework and even run out [...]
