Creative Bentos

Those Japanese. So creative, so cute. Now they've taken the bento box lunches to the cutest extreme. Ran across this post on boingboing.net about the new book Face Food by Christopher Salyers. Love it.

Bodum Coffee Press

Love this! Got a 3-cup Bodum coffee press a few days ago and I love it. I'm not a regular coffee drinker so I don't want or need a hunky coffee maker taking up counter space.

The coffee press makes about 1 1/2 small coffee cups of coffee and it is deeeeee-licious. Makes an amazing cup of coffee; plus no need for those wasteful paper coffee filters.

Gia @ the Beatport Lounge

With some healthy encouragement from Mick Finesse, I've been playing out and enjoying the world of proper house music. My last engagement was @ Beta - the Beatport Lounge on Nov. 27th.

DJ Elroy was one of the many that joined us that night - check out his blog post. Thanks for the great review DJ Elroy!

Sobering

I came across this article today on Huffpost. It describes the story of someone's father deteriorating from dementia. I have been thinking more frequently lately, about how things will be when I am older.

I'm in my 20's now; fast approaching 30. This story really makes me pause, slow down the pace of things and really examine the direction I want to take my life. What really matters to me? I don't want life to be just a blur of meaningless sequence of events. I hope this can be an opportunity for you too, to reflect and examine.
