Mental Notes, Part II

laylaness — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 17:22:07 PDT

As a certain person said, they like to read my mental notes because it's like a window into my brain. Okay... you asked for it. Dear Laylaness, While it may be comfortable, the leggings-and-tunic only serve to make you look...

Rich and Winston, again

laylaness — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:42:15 PDT

So, my adoration for Rich and Winston is documented here, but I just wanted to send my theoretical readers over to FourFour again for a Winston-stravaganza. Also, check out my favorite Winston post. And my second favorite. Hell, just read...

Mental Notes

Dear layla, Replace black suede flats which not only have a hole in the toe, but are now also soaked from this godforsaken rain. Get new black leotard which, preferably, is higher cut in the chesticle region. Buy tickets to...

He's Just Not That Into You

I didn't finish reading the book because it was boring. The movie gave it a little life by following actual characters in their depressing relationships. Beware the top-level messaging. The film ends on a happier note; however, this technically single...

Frustration abound!

I know this has been blogged about endlessly, but I'm going to throw another whiny diatribe on the pile. I'm creating rounded corners for all of the boxes on the website I manage in my day job. Firefox works brilliantly....

Macworld, Schmackworld

laylaness — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:06:16 PST

I was excited for Macworld 2009. Even though Apple announced this will be the last year it participates, and even though Phil Schiller was to deliver the Keynote instead of the be-turtlenecked Steve Jobs, I though for sure there would...

How Winston Brimley changed my life

laylaness — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:59:27 PST

So Rich over at FourFour designed these brilliant shirts for Neighborhoodies. I'm such a geek, I bought the awesome Team Winston shirt (asphalt shirt, baby blue screen, if you're interested), and I wore it out the day after I received...

This is what happens when you antagonize a chihuahua.

Diegos isn't normally what one would call "vicious", "yippy" or "bitey". In fact, any other pictures I have of him are the result of being caught mid-yawn. But you cross the line (by trying to clip his nails, say, or...

It's going to be a sunny Thanksgiving

laylaness — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:50:38 PST

In the past I've typically stayed local for Thanksgiving, usually heading to my uncle's palatial estate in Tiburon or visiting the S.O.'s parents, and once made the trek to Roseville to spend time with my friend and her family. But...

Dismembering squash

laylaness — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 09:55:50 PDT

Yep, it's my favorite "holiday" again. I did another Shaun of the Dead pumpkin for the party tonight. Q served up some Jack Skellington. Excellent stencilling action courtesy of Zombie Pumpkins. Also, Diego had great fun at Piedmont Pumpkin Patch....
