Things That Make Me A Better Person

I think I need about 17 of these:



Actually maybe everyone in the country should have one. Well, at least me. They can be procured here.

So You're A Little Sick Of It

Ok, you don't give two shakes about the Olympics. I can get that. I don't agree with it, but well, you just go ahead and live your empty, meaningless life.

Anyhoo, I thought I'd give you a link to a site that will give you some great advice and has nothing to do with sport.

7 Reasons To Keep Your Tyrannosaur Off Crack Cocaine

We're Living In A Slap Dash Episode

Next in a series of things that would make the universe better if I owned them is this:



Reasons it would be good for me to have the SLAAAAP CHOP:

• I really like to cook.
  
• I love to keep expanding my repertoire and taking mini adventures with traditional recipes or the dishes I grew up with.
  
• I live with 7 other people.
• Moving sharp blades that swing to look like a butterfly for dishwasher safe easy cleaning (we don't have a dishwasher).
  
• This would help cut prep time.
• The guy on the ad looks crazy.
  
• This would help cut dishes.
• More growth in cooking due to the ease of prep.
• It's named Slap Chop
  

The World Would Be A Better Place

There are many things that I covet - or maybe its not that I covet them, because I don't necessarily know people or places that have them. I think it might be that I'm greedy and have a sense of self entitlement - yup, that's it.

I think this post might start a series about things I think I should own, and I think the world would be a better place if I owned them. Sometimes the universe should just pony up and get me these tools to fantasticness. In the meantime I'll just keep pining (no fjords).

Today's thing 'o necessity is this:


If you guessed that it is a 1 1/2" Button Maker Machine with Graphic Punch and 250 Button Parts from buybuttonparts.com you'd be right! Good for you! Let's talk a little more about this exciting collection of bits shall we?

This combo contains:

• the Button Maker Model #150, which produces standard 1-1/2" buttons, it can make a magnet, bull dog clip or key chain simply by assembling a button without a pin and adding the neccesary accessories
• 1 1/2" Graphic Punch (aka the guy who cuts out the circles for you)
• 250 pinback button sets

Can we just sit for a minute and dream about the fun buttons I could be making - oh man... the hilarity, the communication, the wonderment. I can scarcely believe that there are only 357 U.S. dollars (plus shipping and handling) standing between me and some awesome pieces of metal that would aid me in making some rad, rad, world bettering buttons.

How can the universe be so cruel as to not have provided me with one thus far. Sigh... someday.
