Adventures in Sewing: Chapter 2
I know you are all dying to know how my sewing projects are coming along…. You’re thinking, “Has she done anything with the fancy new fabric she bought in NYC yet??” Well I won’t keep you in suspense any longer! I present to you my very first pair of leggings:
I am quite shocked that I actually managed to pull it off. And I am amazed at how simple it was. I...

NYC/Villanova Trip (Part 2)
My trip to the garment district was a success. In particular, my trip to “The Spandex House” turned out to be very fruitful. I bought lots of spandex. And I also ended up with some amazing sequin fabric. I plan on attempting some leggings today….so I’ll let you know how that goes.
Our show at Glasslands Gallery was a blast. That place is super cool. (So cool in fact,...

Why did the hipster burn his tongue?
Cause he didn’t wait for it to get cool! haha That was the joke the barista at Daily Press told us this morning.
We are spending a day off today in Brooklyn with our friends from Ball Of Flame Shoot Fire. They are an awesome band of awesome people (who have an equally awesome and spacious living room floor for us to crash on in Bed-Stuy).
If you ever find yourself in the Bed-Stuy area,...

Better Than Chocolate
I got my boyfriend [what I thought was] a silly little Valentine’s Day present. It turned out to be the most amazing thing ever. I present to you this creepy looking scalp massager:
OMG. This thing is incredible. It gives you chills but is also so relaxing. I highly recommend it. GET ONE! Best $5 I ever spent.

Adventures in Sewing: Chapter 1
So I attempted to sew a shirt from scratch the other night. It turned out to be much more difficult than I had hoped. That one is still going to take some work! I may have screwed it up completely, but hopefully it is salvageable.
I did however complete a special “casey hanner modification” to a favorite t-shirt of mine. And by “casey hanner modification” I mean that I...

Allow me to introduce you to my favorite brand of...
I went bowling one time in the summer and forgot socks. So I picked up some No Nonsense brand socks at CVS. They instantly became my new favorite socks. And I went back to buy more. Why is this my favorite brand? They say “no nonsense” on them. hahah Do I need another reason?
In case I do need another reason, though, here is the company’s mantra: “No nonsense is more...

Boundaries or No Boundaries?
When it comes to creating art, is it better to have boundaries or no boundaries? Or maybe the question should be which do you prefer? My immediate reaction is no boundaries! Why would you want to limit yourself? But the more I think about it, the more I realize that I think I prefer having limitations when creating music.
I actually find it much easier to have a starting place. For me to just...

TeamMate - Sequel
Check out this song by Rostrum Records’ newest band, TeamMate. Not only is the song incredibly fun and catchy, but it’s also an autobiographical story of how the 2 band members know each other.

Ok get ready to be grossed out. I hope you’re not eating right now. This article is all cute and stuff until it gets to the “fecal plug” part. Just another way mother nature chooses to grosses us out.
The most disturbing part of the whole article though is the fact that there is someone out there who knows what a fecal plug smells like….and that they don’t find it...

I still burn CDs. Does anybody else?
So I recently bought a new Macbook Air (which I am LOVING by the way). When talking with the guy at the apple store, he convinced me to go Air instead of Pro based on what I use it for. What’s amazing (and scary for me) about the Air is that it doesn’t have a CD/DVD drive. No more moving parts means a totally silent, light, and fast machine.
What I was too embarrassed to tell the...
