Sunday, April 15, 2007what’s spinning: classic Cure I first heard concert-the cure live when I was a high school student fortunate enough to be living/studying/traveling throughout Brasil, South America. It is a piece of music that, to my surprise, is still one of my favorites and frequent background music in my studio and my life. It sounds especially nice played extremely loud on my very old-school studio stereo. I apologize to all the lawyers who quietly office in my building... but that's just the way it goes. posted by: chris on 04/15 at 05:14 AM permalink category: music/what's spinning Friday, April 13, 2007Friday procrastination assistanceIf you need a little break from your mind-numbing workday(and don't Friday afternoons seem to never end), then check out The New Yorker's humor page. I especially enjoy the Cartoon Caption Contest where you can write your own caption to a New Yorker cartoon. I mean come on, it's not like your actually getting any work done anyway. posted by: chris on 04/13 at 04:00 AM permalink category: blogs & sites of interest category: procrastination assistance Thursday, April 12, 2007vintage week at Modish If your a fan of all things vintage, swing by Modish and see indie-obsessed Jena's collection of vintage finds. Modish is a great site devoted to independent designers and handmade goods and Jena has generously featured circle jewelry many times. Not interested in the mass produced and mass marketed, then stop by Modish and have a look. posted by: chris on 04/12 at 03:27 AM permalink category: blogs & sites of interest Wednesday, April 11, 2007orbs of frosted quartzI've been obsessed with frosted quartz for years,it is a rich stone that works well in any season and subtlety takes on surrounding colors.  I purchase all of my frosted quartz from a Polish stone cutter and I am never 100% sure what I'm going to receive when I place my order... opening the box is always exciting. Visit the frost collection to see more. posted by: chris on 04/11 at 04:24 AM permalink Tuesday, April 10, 2007don’t forget Mom this Mother’s DayRemember, the big day is May 13thso if you'd like to order a very special gift here are a couple of suggestions.
