House update: the walls

October 2, 2011

We haven’t done much with the house over the past month, but I’m looking to get back into it before the winter strikes. So, we’ve finally started hanging pictures in the house. Before, we just could not agree on anything. Then,  a couple weeks ago, we went to an arts festival that had some very cool original photography.

How loud can you scream? Thanks to either nature or nurture, I found out yesterday!

July 21, 2011

A couple weeks ago, Mr. B and I were having a discussion about women that stemmed from this post wherein a woman got skeeved when an unknown-to-her guy in an elevator with her asked her up to his room late at night and then Richard Dawkins got involved and basically got all Male White Priveledge up on her in some comment section and it’s a long story but it boiled down to the fact that women are creeped out and on ...

July 11, 2011

Rule Nomer Odin * of living in Russian Philadelphia is: Never get involved with Russian businesses.  Ever. So we’re hiring a Russian to do our kitchen backsplash. Here are reasons you should never do business with Russians: Our wedding D.J. was also a real estate agent and tried to sell us a house right after our reception ended. The Russian restaurant where we had our wedding went out of business two weeks later.  Also, we couldn’t find the chef until the day ...

I Almost Died for a $250 Discount on an IKEA Chair

June 29, 2011

Life has been a little boring around Philadelphia. I mean, sure we have a new house, new car and I’m starting grad school in the fall, but there hasn’t been anything REALLY exciting happening like there was in DC.  So I decided to spice things up a little. Because, is life really worth living if you don’t appreciate the thin line between life and death? You guys remember my POANG chair, right? Here it is: And, as you can tell, ...
