Also, there was beer on the boat.http://verbalized.net/post/135004346http://verbalized.net/post/135004346Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:48:21 -0700<img src="http://8.media.tumblr.com/s7JXiLwLnpe7sdimnupFErFJo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>I love the way this place is decorated. It feels so airy and informal, and I love how they’ve managed to integrate totally modern elements (the balcony, staircase, and some of the furniture) with more traditional elements and have the whole space look so perfect. Also, is that a <i>swing</i> they have in their living room? That’s pretty awesome.http://verbalized.net/post/133784042http://verbalized.net/post/133784042Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:19:49 -0700<img src="http://17.media.tumblr.com/s7JXiLwLnpd23pxntwNpPcUIo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>Too true.

This wouldn’t really be an issue if it were just a quick friendly smile, but it’s more like a flirtatious grin with slightly lecherous undertones and I know he’s not just smiling because he likes the way I’ve decorated my apartment or something. Also, he’s one of those guys who walks around with his shorts pulled down way too low, and I’ll freely admit to making snap-judgements about a person’s character based entirely on the number of centimeters of exposed underwear at any given time.http://verbalized.net/post/131431658http://verbalized.net/post/131431658Sat, 27 Jun 2009 18:02:48 -0700<img src="http://2.media.tumblr.com/s7JXiLwLnp88e7w91WW7DB4Ho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><a href="http://dairyaffair.com/" target="_blank">Zabrina</a> takes amazing photos.

The Etsy homepage is featuring a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25187301&ref=fp_feat_2" target="_blank">t-shirt</a> covered with <i>flying</i> mustaches (because they’re not cool enough when they’re just staying put on someone’s face, obviously), and lurking not too far beneath the surface of the site is this monstrosity: the “<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26614167&ref=sr_gallery_12&&ga_search_query=beard&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=6&order=date_desc&includes%5B%5D=tags&includes%5B%5D=title" target="_blank">everyday brown beard</a>”. And this beard? It sells for forty dollars. Without even getting into how weird it is for a girl to walk around wearing a fake beard, I can’t believe that anyone would actually <i>pay money</i> for this!http://verbalized.net/post/129819144http://verbalized.net/post/129819144Wed, 24 Jun 2009 22:53:17 -0700<img src="http://11.media.tumblr.com/s7JXiLwLnp4l52l4NhHLUaHLo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>Sudestada, an eye-catching spiky scrawl from Umbrella Type.
