In order to relieve the boredom of Summer 2010, I decided to make a quilt that’s not even really a quilt but actually just pieces of cloth sewn on to each other and I’m going to show you how I did it so you can do it, too. It’s one of many ways you can have an Honest Art Day!

Jonsi came to my town last night and I couldn’t go because I spent all my money on taxi cabs the previous night. Regardless, I can’t stop listening to his new album ‘Go’. Listen to the entire record on his website and his cover of MGMT’s “Kids”. If you’re a fan of Sigur Ros (ifRead the Rest…

OMG GUYS! There are so many things I want to say about this video, and yet… words escape me. The intro! the motherf*cking outro! The dance moves! The clothes! And so much more! I can’t handle it.

I used to go to the list of phobias in grade 8 and pick the funniest/strangest phobias and send them to my friends. I came across it again when I was googling ‘hippopotamus’ and google suggested ‘hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia’. Obvs my interest was peaked. Ironically enough, it’s the fear of long words.
