Stick your paws up
After class on Thursday, fellow Imaginary Battles writer Jen and I headed to our community college’s annual arts and crafts faire. Among the hand crafted soaps, candles, and knitted scarves, we found these furry animal paw scarves by Lake Tahoe Treasures/Wild Spirit Animal Hoodies . Things like this can easily be found at Hot Topic, … Read more
Granny’s Goodies: Colonel Mustard in the Library with the Candlestick
Autumn is upon us! (Or, if you live in San Francisco, it never left.) This means that Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas is just around the corner. And honestly, if we didn’t have the three best holidays come one after the other, these next few months would be super dreary. While Etsy seems to think that … Read more
Granny Loves Mori
You know, being the person that I am, sometimes it’s really, really hard to not make a reference to Happy Days each time I write up a post. Because I know that they will not come out quite as good as how they sound in my head. Anyway, this isn’t about my terrible choices in article titles. This … Read more
Granny’s Goodies: The Cake is a Lie
THE RAINBOW CAKE WAS AN IMMENSE SUCCESS! Sort of. Sure, we used box cake, didn’t have a proper icing tool, and the top fell apart, but come on. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey. Or whatever. Does destination and journey mean the same thing? Do I need to switch those two around? How the … Read more
Crafty Sleepover Party
This Saturday I will be attending a SLEEPOVER PARTY. I guess when you’re a kid and don’t have strict conservative parents, this is when you pack your toothbrush and pajamas and stay in someone else’s house to talk about boys, braid your friends’ hair, eat snacks, and tell scary stories. And then, eventually, you go … Read more
Granny’s Goodies: I’m Sorry, I’m Thinking About Cats Again
Yesterday, I happily stumbled into North Beach’s best kept secret: Double Punch. They have an awesome art show going through September 10 called “We Love Webcomics”. Two of my favorites from the bunch are Sarah Sobole and Natasha Allegri – seriously funny, talented ladies who draw comics about seriously cute cats. Seeing as my current living situation (forbidden) and boyfriend situation … Read more
Fashunz with The Giddy Biddy: Twin Peaks
I’m.. a little obsessed with David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. I hesitate to use that word because–as it turns out–I am only in the middle of the first season. So, no, I don’t know who killed Laura Palmer (do we ever know?) and I haven’t gotten to the part with David Duchovny in drag (WTF AMAZING). … Read more
Granny’s Goodies: TL;DR
I accidentally slept the day away (BBQ, sausages, beer) and totally slept on this week’s Granny’s Goodies post. In any case, I’ll be back tomorrow with a post that’s going to knock your proverbial and – literal – socks off. Maybe. In the mean time, please enjoy this video of some very lovely, very fashionable … Read more
Stitching and Bitching (but mostly Bitching)
Every Sunday, I’ll be posting an ongoing series that we will tentatively and hilariously title “Granny’s Goodies”. Tentatively because of the GILF’y connotations, and hilariously also because of the GILF’y connotations. I’d trash it right now if I had a better title and if I didn’t think that it would garner us more site traffic from … Read more
Little Miss Death Star
Last week, nerds, geeks, dorks, and goobers alike came to San Diego Comic-Con International, a.k.a. Nerd Prom, in full force and tons of them were decked out in homemade costumes of their favorite sci-fi and fantasy characters. Costumes ranged from meh to awetastical, but only one definitely stood out to me, and that was Star … Read more
