Dirty Jobs.



Very cool TED talk, (we love TED talks!) from Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs. I have two jobs: waitressing at PF Changs, and Graphic Designing for a VA University. I am an artist. I like to get my hands dirty. I am a marathoner. I like to be moving. I am fairly good with people, and I think fast on my feet. All this makes me good at both my jobs. I HATE it when people imply that waitressing is beneath me. Yes, I have TWO college degrees. Who cares? Who cares how I make my money, and how dare you imply that waitressing isn't a "real job"? No one has offered to pay me $20/hr to sit at home looking pretty, and let me tell you a thing or two about "real". I'm a great graphic designer, too. Same skills, same brain, just a little less mess. Love. This. Talk. Get back to work, people. And don't forget to take care of your servers.

holy moses. BEMBO's zoo!



I wonder if this was a student's Flash project? Blows any of mine out of the water. LOVIN THIS! Check out Bembo's Zoo!

Greenfront, VA



















We were out at Greenfront, in Farmville, VA last weekend looking for furniture. Had great luck with old English wood, battered and distressed. Oh, and the best deals on Sisal rugs you'll ever find! (bottom pic from Lonny mag)
