Who needs vinyl toys when you can have a vinyl cube? Uh huh, you can doodle on it AND it lights up. Too much? Nuh uh. Must-have.
It has a built in rechargeable battery and you can thank Chairman Ting for this design.
I do have to admit though, that there are a few must-haves when it comes to the latest addition(s) to the Jeremyville empire. Thoughts in Jeremyville.

I need me some new tees, starting with “Too Much Finesse” from London-based collective toomuchposse!
Inside info, they have mixtapes under ‘downloads‘. Holla.

Recently it was time to say goodbye to a big part of my life. Most of you will know what I am talking about and some might wonder, but it is okay – there is no need to explain, because I am just going to yap yap about stuff in general. I know I am not supposed to use the word ‘stuff’, but I cannot help it – I like it.
One little part of the ‘goodbye’ involved moving Narrylikes to a new host and server. No time for advertising and I will not be mentioning the man who likes race cars and girls with leather jackets. His website might be slow, but so far I am happy with my new host.
There are probably a few things that you can think of and say “that will never happen to me”. Well, sometimes the impossible happens and when you are left with a missing piece that thought will change to “what happened now?” Usually followed by a panic state and in some cases, tears – and in some cases, too many tears.
Goodbyes are always hard, but if you manage to get through the first part, it will eventually get easier (to deal with).
Superglue. The name says it all and you would assume that it is made to stick. Heck, with a glue that was in veterinary use for mending bone, you would think that a ‘goodbye’ will not even be an option. Unfortunately, there are street vendors and stores that sell ‘superglue’ – their version of it, of course. After a few days that thing you tried to stick onto your wall is now hanging at a slight angle. The week after that, it is on the floor. No matter how many times you stick it to the wall with your ‘superglue’, it will not stick. So much for a SUPER glue, huh?
Not everything sticks. Some glue will work better than others and if I have to recommend one, I would say ‘No More Nails’. The blackboard on my kitchen wall is still there, and I think I might have a problem if I would ever want to take it off. That is only because my glue is so super-awesomely-strong.
If the glue – that has to stick 2 things together – is not of the super kind, it will not last. Which is why goodbyes happen. Sometimes it is a good thing, because in my case, if the glue had to hold things together any longer, it would have ended up being one horrible, sticky situation.
No puns intended.
The picture is not of a man and a sad woman, it is a picture of the movie ‘Gone With The Wind’. Does it make sense now? Good.
No words. Just that I really want / need this little one. Please. Seriously.
You stupid little biscuit! I really want a stupid little biscuit. Paccino’s is a coffee shop and has a lot to say.
They have very bright coffee cups with stories on it too.
Sometimes they do not really care what they say, which is why everyone loves them. If you want to see their flickr set – please do, preferably with a coffee in hand.
Look out for the sugar sachets, you might find an inspiring message or two – like: ‘Fiddle with during awkward chat’, ‘Brown Sugar for Snobs’, ‘Not you again’, ‘This sachet does not entitle you to start thinking you’re something special or anything.’
You know, stuff you want to hear every now and then.
So different, so clever and it caught my eye immediately. All smiles.
Do you now feel like toilet papering something?
Ta-daah! Who would not want a Cubebot like this one? Just look at him.
I mean c’mon! If you like him as much as I do, have a look at the rest of the toys at AREAWARE.
“Robot toys are usually made of plastic and require batteries – but not this one! Inspired by the Japanese Shinto Kumi-ki* puzzles, the Cubebot is a non-traditional take on the toy robot by joining ancient Japanese traditions with contemporary toy culture.
Cubebots’s powerful hardwood frame can hold many poses, and his elastic-band muscles and durable wood limbs make him impervious to breakage. When it’s time for him to rest, he folds into a perfect cube. An enduring classic that will withstand generations of play.”
* Kumi-ki means ‘to join wood together’.
There is only one Rosie, and that is Rosie O’Doooonnell! Love her.
Rosie loves to give and Rosie will do whatever she can to give. Rosie also likes Munnys and Rosie likes to doodle on these Munnys. You can buy these Munnys at Rosie’s Etsy store.
Rosie will match every cent – which will go to the Maravel Arts Center in New York City.
Yes, I think I love Rosie even more because of this.
These Calder cases by Nick Comer-Calder must be really special, because it took him over 3 years to finalize the design, pick the materials and to find the right people to work with.
Each case takes 35 hours to make. Together with the leather on carbon fibre cases, I would call it dedication, huh?
