DIY: Install Your Own Sol LeWitt Mural
the art sandwich 5 days ago

After seeing the Sol LeWitt show at MASS MoCA the other week, I installed my own mural in the middle of a floor-to-ceiling bulletin board I use in my office. The dimensions of the square are 60″x 60″. It took four days.What you will need: -Masking Tape -White, Black, Red, Yellow, Blue Latex or Acrylic Paint (make sure that the blue is light enough) Paintbrush X-Acto Blade Ruler 1. Measure a square onto a smooth surface. Mine was 60″ x 60″. Using the making tape, carefully border every outside edge of the square. Make sure to press down on the tape to get maximum flatness. 2. Using the white paint, cover the entire square. Two coats might be necessary. 3. After the white has dried, draw every line on top of the white surface to paint in later. In this mural, all the columns are the same width. In my mural they are 3.5 ” wide. (This varies depending on the size of the square. To figure out your width, divide the length of your square by 17 – the number

What to Bring to Your Dorm Room!
In Limbo 1 week ago

[This post is the last in my Back to School Series] So you’re going off to University. You must be terrified. Holy moly! Even as I was packing my bags this year, I was remembering my sheer terror as I packed them last year. Luckily, for me that has passed, but maybe you’re still feeling that way? All I can say is: it’s going to be okay! And read this if you want more encouragement. As my last post in my very fun-to-write back to school series, I’m talking about what to bring. Dorm Room Necessities My dorm room! Besides the obvious – school supplies, bedding, books and knicknacks – there are tons of things that fill the average dorm room. Food, snacks, and beer abound, along with dirty laundry and stacks of paper. Depending on the size of your room, it could be neater (small space = higher organization!), but nonetheless, most dorm rooms are crammed full of lots of goodies. Now, I know you’ve been scouring the articles online about what else you

There’s nothing more unpleasant than walking on dirty carpet. Cleaning the carpet can be done in various ways just as there also different equipment to use when cleaning the carpet.

It's a bird, It's a plane, It's SUPERTOM

As a feisty Italian it’s not often I find myself playing the role of “damsel in distress” but last Two Dollar Tuesday thats exactly who I was. All I have to say is thank goodness for SUPERTOM!!! Tuesday night my sorority was paired with Delta Alpha, Tom and Karson’s fraternity. Being the cheap genius that I am, I decided to go to the party, get some free drinks, and gather a bunch of people to go to Toys. Well you know me. Nothing ever goes as smoothly as I hope for. After playing a little hide and seek with Tom we finally find eachother in the basement. As I am trying to convince him to come to Toys, Karson comes up. Here’s how the convo went. Me: Come to Toys its going to be fun! Tom: I can’t I have a 9:30 class Me: who cares! You only live once and its still early you can leave whenever you have pledge rides. Tom: I don’t….. (Karson comes up so naturally I make a low blow move) Me: KARSON are you coming to Toys!? Karson: No I can

Mill
Ramblin's of a Restless Mind

If home is where the heart is, is is very possible that my home is the South Mill. I love this place. From the quiet neighborhood atmosphere to the quirky patrons to the sometimes funky smelling baristas to the yum-mazing granitas this place is legit and very much deserving of the blog of the day.

IMPORTANT: New Site, PLUS free app of the day

…it’s been a while.  I’ve been hanging out over at the forums at Mark’s Daily Apple.  I’ve lost about 4kgs so far and am beginning to feel more in the groove after three weeks of doing this!  I keep a daily journal over on the forums and have been posting on other threads where I feel I have something to contribute…or a question to ask.  Mostly I’ve been reading anything and everything I can and not much else has been done around my house…we have, however, been eating rather well as I’m cooking better and more consistenly than in a long time…and it’s all meat and vege!  I’ve even been experimenting with grain/gluten-free and sugar-free baking…and I’m adjusting quite well to the intense dark chocolate and less sweet tastes. Last night I decided it was time I got myself off the single focus that the Primal Blueprint has  become for me and start getting the rest of my life in to order.  So I’m cleani
