The sound of accidental silverware

Efterklang always sounded to me like onomatopoeia for crashing silverware. Their music is quite the polar opposite. Efterklang has a knack for being wonderfully ambient with some discretion. The latest song of theirs I've heard is actually quite different from their norm.



If you've never happened upon www.etsy.com, now is the time to start. It is an online network of independent artists selling their art and spreading the love. So, in light of the recent tragedy in Haiti, many of these artists have collaborated in a creative way to help as much as they can. What you can do: buy their lovely creations.

I never get legitimate mail anymore. But, really, does anyone? It's either a bill or an organization PLEADING for my every penny, not realizing that they're wasting paper due the fact that they've already gotten to me via e-mail. Not only is this an epic waste of resources, it's disappointing. I mean, I would much rather receive a letter from a long-lost love in my suburban mailbox than the normal shit I get.

This being said, today I received in my mailbox a very lovely, quirky envelope from Anthropologie. Alas, not a love letter, but definitely not the status quo. Initially, thinking it was just some generic attempt at advertising, I almost tossed it aside. It piqued my curiosity, however, so I decided to open it.

This is what I discovered:





A little bit materialistic and definitely a product of rampant capitalism, yes, but also pretty fucking adorable.

Goodbye

Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, I bid you a very sad farewell. I know we'll see more of you.

And to Jay Leno--take this:


You go Coco!

The senate race is not the only thing this average joe won. He also won the hearts of Cosmo readers everywhere as 1982's #1 Centerfold!






Honestly, I wish people could see past that "regular BBQ guy" bullshit that the Republicans pull all the time. Do the issues just not matter anymore?

Ice cream... made out of... bananas...

You have not lived until you try this.
And--much like sex--the recipe is fun, fast, and easy.

Essentially, you:
a) unpeel the bananas
b) slice them up
c) freeze them
d) "purée" them in a food processor until "creamy"

Then you add whatever the hell else you want to the concoction.

Click the post title for a portal to this mystical recipe. For now, here are some photos to tickle your curiosity. Don't mind the color, I added chocolate and honey. I'm sneaky, what can I say.







SOTASTY.

Something from Something

I love avocados.

That being said, a while back I decided that I wouldn't throw away those precious pits found in the middle of this glorious fruit. So, I started hydroponically growing an avocado tree. It's all [not quite] grown up now, with little effort on my part. Definitely try this at home.

With that being said, you should click both the Haitian Red Cross widget at the top[ish] of my page and the small, oddly placed Chase logo just beneath it. I'm really not advertising, just trying to help spread the love in little ways. You'll see what I mean once you click them.
