I Was Over It, But Now I'm REALLY Over It

Years ago I saw the Keep Calm poster somewhere and ordered one from Barter Books. I actually took it down because I got so sick of it, and stopped reading a snotty decor blog after she started printing her own and selling them with no effort to give Barter Books any kind of credit. Somebody in the UK has also started doing this, but they have also attempted to sue Barter Books to stop 'em from selling the posters. Crazy? Yes. But there has also been a decent writeup of the whole story, here. And I have decided that I really like The Hairpin. I think it was what xojane.com was kind of going for, but it doesn't piss me off. And my new favorite decor blog is here. Any new favorites, ladies?

I am trying to pay off some stuff so I am between projects and not doing much exciting stuff right now but I am sure reading a lot! Gotta love the library! And whoever got me hooked on Ngaio Marsh, thanks again! By rights, my house should probably be cleaner, based on what I am reading about everyone else doing ;) Maybe this weekend...

Oh, xoJane makes me crazy too! Jane Pratt I am no longer 14 and living in Bumfart, Kentucky, where I am the only person ever to have heard of the Smiths! You do not have to talk down to me anymore!

Colleen, thanks then! I can read four in a row and then go to the library and find a million more!

Cookbook, the internet is failing to replace my magazines! The Hairpin is not bad but I want more!

It is an !!! kind of day, apparently.
