The Bromentum continues: The CXXVI Poseidon Knit Beanie for a friend
A little while back, a friend inquired as to where I got the beanie I was currently wearing. It came as a bit of a surprise when I answered, “Banana Republic.” I worked there in my early 20′s and aside … Continue reading
From the mills in Woolrich, Pennsylvania with love.
It was a little over a week ago when in my inbox, an email appeared from Woolrich asking me to compile a sort of “wish list.” They said they would “see what they could do” about getting to me the … Continue reading

An ode to the landlocked sea lover and 90s nostalic: The Wooden Mariner Box and Zack Morris Art
I got it in my head this year to get family and friends gifts they’d never expect. Be it that authentic prison art, a vintage baseball bat, a picture of Zack Morris’s shoes (yes, I found it), or some other … Continue reading

It has been decided that my older brother and I will be hanging out at my place tomorrow night with plans of destroying a few brain cells via The Fast and Furious Drinking Game I got all enthused about some … Continue reading
Transition in Design: Posters of the WPA and the new Ork San Francisco 3 Color
In my recent attempt to throw some new art on the walls of my workspace and living quarters, searches around this crazy thing we call the Internet (they have it computers, now) have yielded amazing results. Take the good with … Continue reading
It's worth it to see you smile. And it's a guarantee if you read Labs with Abs.
I have to get better about reading. It’s hard, though, given the Fall TV schedule. I am enjoying the hell out of it. How I Met Your Mother? Possibly the worst-named show but funny as all get out. I can … Continue reading

Fads & Lads. The Bacon Genie & a Bow Tie.

The flux: Selling a couch, buying a new one, and the interim without one.
The response I got from posting my old sectional on Craigslist and Twitter was quite overwhelming. And Craigslist, I will say, never ceases to amaze me for two reasons. 1) It shows you just how dumb some the majority of … Continue reading
A plan put into action: Turning over a new stone via wardrobe/lifestyle changes.
Going through my storage unit this weekend was a real eye-opener: “Good Lord, I have a lot of junk.” After throwing away box after box of what I had once deemed important items, I felt this sense of rejuvenation, relief, … Continue reading

I recently snagged new bedding from West Elm and must say that since I draped my bed with it, I’ve had the best nights of sleep ever. The old adage of “you can never spend too much in the bedroom” … Continue reading
I always mean to start collecting matches.
Whenever I come across a sweet matchbook at a bar/restaurant/venue/etc., I get this grandiose plan and think, “Sunofagun, this is a cool set of wooden sticks with a wicked neat color on top. I’m going to grab a handful, save … Continue reading
Your glass is half full or half empty simply means you're drinking too slow from the Pessimist's Mug
My Dad instilled some advice in me at a young age that has stuck with me to this day. “Son, your beer is always the fullest and the coldest.” Sound, sound words. And it’s true. Except these days I haven’t … Continue reading
