You know the drill… taking our cue from Seth Godin with the idea that what unites us is more than music — basically, if we share the same taste in music, we likely share the same taste in other stuff, as seemingly useless as it occasionally may be. Hence, this month’s compendium:
Stuff That’s Kept Me from Losing My Mind This Summer
1. Harry Potter Hangover
Seriously. It happens to me every summer. Another book comes out so I have to read all of the previous books again just to remember what the hell is going on. Same deal with the films. So in advance of the Half-Blood Prince’s release, it was the usual deal: start reading around midnight, can’t put the damn thing down til roughly 4 AM = bags under the eyes daily.
I don’t know who that kid is but I like it.
2. Air Rifle
Friggin cool. My parents pulled it out of the basement and it was love at first shot. That’s my dad (sporting silk boxers with silver dragons) getting in touch with his inner badass. Forgot to take one of me. I did good. Everyone should have one of these things. Yes, I’m still a Democrat.
3. You Don’t Know Jacques
OPI sucks me right in with their clever nail polish names. Le Collection de France in particular. Tickle Me France-y, I’m Fondue of You. Brilliant marketing. Paris in a bottle. Even at Nine dollars a pop, I’m sold. A newly obsessed with my feet.
4. Lettuce Seeds
Who knew. You can plant seeds at the end of the summer and stuff will still grow, ready for picking in fall. I’m slow to this punch people — new to gardening. The miracle of life. It’s the little things.
5. Wine Bottle Chandelier
Who, pray tell, doesn’t need one of these. Fucking genius. But that $399 price tag has me thinking I can make this. Going to sic the project on my dad. He doesn’t know that yet.
