Bonus Bone: Gettin' things framed!

Gallery Frame, at CB2

Nothing feels better than finally getting a photo or piece of art framed (either professionally or DIY) that has been sitting around for months or possibly years. I had a CB2 coupon burning a hole in my pocket and it was going to expire soon. So Hardwood and I popped down to CB2 last night to pick up the ginormous gallery frame and use it for a semi-recent purchase.

A spritz of glass cleaner, some linen tape and BOOM! Instant improvement!!!

For these reasons, I, Porcelain, declare this a Design Boner.

Worth the Week: Harmony


Part of me has always wanted to be a back-up singer. Standing up in front, ripping through the high notes, and actually hearing yourself, just isn't my thing. (Not that it could be my thing, the three-pronged American Idol panel would insist.) But if I could, and decided I should, I would wear all black, bounce my weight from leg to leg, and sing strong on that back beat.

This secret preference was made positively clear last Friday night when I sang karaoke - alone! - for the first time ever. Sure, I felt a little cool (even though most of the credit belongs to Mr. Fishbowl Margarita III). Mostly though, I just felt silly.

But these fellers - these two guys with their two parts balanced on their one-mind track - they were not silly at all.

Take one photograph,
trade thought for order and words,
call it Worth the Week.
