I am a mom, entrepreneur, occasional blogger, and creator. I recently launched Here Comes the Apocalypse, a self-paced disaster preparedness system with a dark sense of humor. My team and I make up Artsy Geek, a top-ranked Bay Area branding and digital agency.
You have stumbled on my little corner of the internet. Thanks for coming by.
The 92-93 school year is almost over. One and a half days left.
Now it’s PARTY time. Well almost now.
Today we got our year books. I have alot of people’s signature in it.
How come everyone says my signature is cool? Here it is:
Amy says it was bad, and everyone was commenting on it.
I got two awards at the ceremony yesterday.
Alexis is POed at us. At least at me. Not like I care or anything. Continue Reading
I was welcomed to Berlin by my good friends Ann Marie and Spencer, and this awesome welcome gift of Katzenzungen.
These milk chocolates are named after cat tongues, and somewhat resemble the actual body part. They don’t however, have the awesome sand-papery texture of actual cat tongues. I do wonder why they chose to leave that out.
They melt in your mouth and are delicious. At only 1,79 Euro, they’re a steal and I’m taking orders. Each box comes with 18 cat tongues to enjoy with or without your cat.
I am always impressed with how my fellow humans find inspiration in the oddest places! Continue Reading
Airports have been on my mind lately, possibly because I had this trip planned.
We were supposed to have a one hour lay over in Frankfurt, which wound up being taken over by our late flight, passport stamping, and running to the gate.
While pondering our itenerary, it occurred to me what every airport needs: a place to pay $20 and take a shower. Am I right or am I right?
I mentioned this to friends and they pointed out that many of the Elite programs airlines offer include showers. Now I don’t know how they know this because I don’t think they’ve ever been inside one of those lounges, but it sounded right so I believed it.
I do think that there’s a market for economy showers at international airports and if you have a spare couple million, we should talk.
I noticed while we were checking in this morning that a few of the check in stations boasted beautiful flower arrangements. For their elite, of course.
Post security, I noticed the entryway to these Elite Lounges. I would just love to see what goes on in there!
The sign reads "United Airlines Red Carpet Club", "Singapore Airlines Silver Kris Lounge", and "EVA Airways Evergreen Lounge".
Red Carpet Club? Silver Kris Lounge? Evergreen Lounge? I bet those travelers lucky enough to frequent these oases don’t notice anything but the name of the airline and the luxurious entry way, no matter how many dollars went into the branding. Continue Reading
I’ve just arrived in Berlin on my first vacation in three years. Now don’t get me wrong; I’ve taken a few long weekends to camp or visit family, and I long ago instituted a rule where I don’t work on Sundays. But other than that, running Artsy Geek pretty much rules my life.
When Will and I made plans for this European vacation at the beginning o fthe year, I had an anxious feeling in my stomach. It’s not that I didn’t want to go; I wanted to go more than anything. But I was terrified about how I would afford it and whether I would find myself working frantically on the train as the vistas passed me by unappreciated. Continue Reading
