Thursday, December 2nd, 2010I never got into this whole Doctor Who thing, but I know some of you absolutely wet yourselves over this stuff, so… get your Depends undergarments ready. It’s not just a hideaway Murphy bed that looks like a TARDIS; it even sounds like a TARDIS: Once you open the 1970s lock, you will find a [...]
Class Up Your Doorway: “You Killed Kenny” Door Stop
Wednesday, December 1st, 2010A “You killed Kenny” door stop by Instructables user BrittLiv. Well, that might just be the best thing I’ve seen all day.

But the [...]

Monday, November 22nd, 2010Thanks to this scene from The Exorcist by Doomed to Live Studio on Etsy, I’m happy to report that I can finally give my stamp of approval to the craft of amigurumi (“knitted stuffed toy”), which until now has been marred by constant and saccharine application of adorableness. Via Super Punch, who’s all impressed by my multilingual [...]
