After hearing Nicki Minaj’s ubiquitous hit Starships for about the umpteenth time today, I couldn’t help but get the phrase “Starships were meant to fly” in my head for the latter part of my afternoon. It made me think: starships might be meant to fly, but is that all they can do? After the jump, …

Last week I extolled the virtues of Apt 2B, and once again, I have to say the store has filled me with joy. This morning, while I was procrastinating like usual, I came across an item I immediately loved: The Casa Ave Tissue Box (in avocado, naturally). Did I really need a glorified tissue-box cozy? …
After all Mother has done for you, doesn’t she deserve something back? This Sunday is Mother’s day, and if you live in the Los Angeles are, you might want to do something nice for mom. Well, you should want to do something nice for mom even if you don’t live in the LA area, but …

Late last year, I purchased a Thai cookbook that turned out to lack several classic Thai recipes, including anything pertaining to rice or noodles. Turns out the book was a modern take on Thai cuisine, which meant certain staples such as pad thai were nowhere to be seen. The good news was that it wound …
