I rarely take the time to ask for personal favors, and seeing as how I rarely do it, I hope you’ll sense my urgency when I outright ask for your help and support. In a former life (less than a year ago), I used to be a full-time Dean of Students. My primary age group [...]
Hello there fine folks. I’ve lost many of you– and about 100 of you still show up on a semi-daily basis hoping to find something new on the main page and sadly, I continously fail you. My apologies. Aren’t I always apologizing? I’ve been on a self-prescribed sabatical. My odd jobs that help me survive [...]
For those who aren’t aware of it, on May 29th, I’ll turn 3yrs old! Well, not I, but IHCS will. I wanted to celebrate with a re-vamped look, but sadly I’m still not there financially. In my need for change though, I’ve decided to tweak this WP theme I’ve been eye-ing since who knows how [...]
It’s here, it’s here! The Shawnimals sponsored giveaway is finally here! The fine folks at the Shawnimals Headquarters have been super awesome (more than usual) and have sent some goodies my way to giveaway. As soon as the mail arrived I posted a picture to share, and based on popular opinion, we’ve split the goods. [...]
I’m not quite sure I’ve made it public, but for a little less than a year now, I’ve become a make-up nut. Last summer I bought dresses, I bought stockings, more shoes and more makeup then I could afford. I am an owner of a Sephora rewards card, which at the moment seems a little [...]
You know what I love about Flickr? I attend shows in NYC, take pictures to share on my stream and blog; and with the right tags, the artists find the pictures and suddenly you’re introduced to their world. You follow a link to their webpage where you discover all the awesome work they create. This [...]
I came home after work thinking to myself, “I need to write about this artist, I need to write about this artist [referring to Pete Yorn].” Do you know why I needed to write about this artist? I needed to because he is singing with an actress that actually sounds pretty good singing. We get [...]
For those who know or may not know I was in Auckland, NZ since October 21 and returned back to the states just this past Friday. I enjoyed the beautiful landscapes, the countless bakeries/coffee spots, sheep, city life, insane town names (that can’t be pronouced without practice), wonderful people, and of course Armageddon. Armageddon is [...]
So, we try to promote comments and conversation on the site, but we understand the realities of being unable to do so sometimes. I personally, am addicted to my RSS feeds, and sometimes don’t visit physical sites, and therefore don’t comment or participate as much as I should. Well, we’ve added a star rating to [...]
So, it seems a few friends (or the sites of friends) have joined this amazing fundraiser. Extra Life is yet another instance in which gamers have the wonderful opportunity of putting their gaming hours to work and raise funds for children in need. Extra Life in particular donates to the Texas Children’s Hospital: Extra Life [...]
Tomorrow, at 11:30am, Kidrobot will be holding a rally on Houston & Lafayette in NYC. I will be there to take pictures. I’m still not sure how I feel about the Taco Bell Bellheadz situation– or the fact that of all people it’s KR who’s protesting against them. The only reason I have my reservations [...]
Although it is currently a HUGE rumor, I couldn’t help but share on the site. A while back, I’d posted some Batman fan art, and it seems that the image above is just that, however, I felt the need to say– SERIOUSLY? I agree that Megan Fox is indeed beautiful, but it offends me how [...]
I’m sure many have spotted this awesome new website on many of the toyblogs. I spotted a Twitter with the link a while back and when I realized the purpose of the site, a great sense of calm suddenly came over me. I have OCD, therefore I’m into organization and lists and certain patterns– I [...]
I’ve said it over and over again– I really love this community. For me, last year’s NYCC really fortified my love for the designer toy world when I got the chance to meet an array of talented artists and they didn’t behave like douches. <– Those are some really kind words aren’t they? Either way, [...]
Look at that! Evil Buttons [term has been made popular by upcoming movie: Coraline] has posted about IHCS’s Coraline doll/key giveaway! Just thought I would share, this clearly brought excitement to my life.
With a stunt like this, all I can really say is: wow! I don’t have the courage to do that in public. Oh, by the way, you know this stunt could only be pulled in NYC. [via]
Since I’ve posted about the Coraline dunks, I might as well follow up with these custom dunks I spotted over at NikeSkateBoarding.org. I own nothing of Luke Chueh’s because I hadn’t heard of him before the prices on his originals sky-rocketted, but the man makes some amazing pieces. I am in love with his style [...]
I’ve had this post ready since the weekend, but as always, things came up. I’ve posted about my unnatural and instant love for the upcoming film Coraline. I’ve especially loved following SuperPunch’s blog about the 50 handmade boxes the creators have sent to bloggers (as of recently, NOTCOT has also summed up the boxes). I [...]
This “love” word, I use it many times on this blog– but have you ever asked yourself whether I mean it or not? I mean, how does one love something like the latest update for WordPress? I’ll tell you how, it gets a total makeover and makes my life easier, you really can’t go wrong [...]
[Photo: Stephen Voss] This entry is going to be a little different than usual. It’ll serve more as a self-reflection on the outcome of this year’s election. Please continue at your own will.
