Fast Fashion & The Easiest-Ever T-Shirt Surgery
My friend Grimlocke posted a few links in my comments about “fast fashion” as it relates to ethical shopping; they touched on a number of subjects, from sweat shops to creating garbage to thrifting when you’re an odd size or pressed for time. I’ve read up a little on the subject but am hard-up for new ways to improve my shopping habits – I’m pretty utilitarian with my money and I’ve been checking the “Made In…” tags on my clothing since I was in high school. ♠ Continue reading…
And the Last Known Survivor Stalks His Prey in the Night
I ran for twenty minutes straight on Thursday, which probably doesn’t sound like much to most of you, but I’m a smoker with a desk job, so it’s an accomplishment to me. My awesome dad and I are going to run the Falmouth Road Race together come 2011, so I have a real incentive to keep picking my feet up off the ground. ♠ Continue reading…

I Came, I Saw, I Partied
…aaaaand we’re back. Sorry for the hold-up, everyone, it was a hell of a party in Vegas and another hell of a recovery from the time difference. (When else do I get to squeeze in 17-hour sleeps?) ♠ Continue reading…

Sink or Swim
After a day of hobbling around work (and S. being such a gentleman about wheeling me to the sports medicine doc), I learned that my amazing bubblegum running shoes are actually hurting my joints. I have to take a few weeks off of the Couch-to-5k program (I actually cried at this, I’m obviously hooked) and get some new kicks with more support. In the meantime, I get… ♠ Continue reading…
