Oscar Wilde takes on Jersey Shore, hilarity ensues →
“God bless the people over at Playbill who corralled Santino Fontana and David Furr, who star as Algernon and Jack respectively in Broadway’s The Importance Of Being Earnest, into reading transcripts of Jersey Shore completely in character. The resulting non-sequitors are dark, funny, and not too outside of the realm of what Oscar Wilde might write were he alive today. He would surely...

I talked to my high school art teacher last night and he’s just as inspiring now as he was when I was 15. I’m ready to get independently creative again. He said you don’t have to do it all at once. You’re busy. Just nibble.
Anyways, that’s what this guy did - a simple idea done for fun, and done right.

I’m working the Global Union Music Festival in Milwaukee this weekend serving and selling Rishi Tea. No Bieber or Bolton, but plenty of other great music will be playing free and open to the public.

Swiss Chard Recipe | Simply Recipes →
This recipe was tasty.
Last night’s dinner was farmer’s market swiss chard, two eggs over easy, and a slice of homemade bread. We calculated that it must have cost about $.85 a person.
Win.

This morning I’m drinking some rooibos tea. Science* suggests that rooibos tea is effective in subduing inflammation, so I’m hoping that giving it some good (gentle) mouth swishes and drinking a couple (delicious) cup-fulls will help me get over this faster. I’ve got some good stuff to do this weekend :) My rooibos of choice?

Tiny tea!
My cute little tea mug at work makes my day everyday. By the way, when I started working here, I thought that tiny teapot in the background was decorative, being too small to actually be functional. Wrong. That thing brews a mean batch of pu-erh tea, and I regularly split a pot between three people. The more I learn…

Hmm.
