I hope my sister doesn't mind that I've turned her suffering into a new postcard:

*purple hair color may or may not be real.

no really, send more postcards!

More postcards up at sendmorepostcards.etsy.com! Tell your friends! I've got some Coldplay, some Hold Steady, and some non-lyrics-related cards for you music haters out there...just kidding.

Just about to start re-reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and thinking about Miss Jen. (And Mr. Joe also--who provides a great link to Jonathan Safran Foer's take on vegetarianism) Tomorrow there is a meeting someplace far from here regarding a job I want to have eventually, so cross your fingers for me! I'm looking towards some big life changes soon so I promise I'll keep you all updated.

In other news, Operation: FALL09, otherwise known as Send T The Most Embarrassing Things In The Mail, has been going smoothly thus far. Most recent victory: sending a 3' x 3' poster promoting the ?new? Lynyrd Skynyrd album.....as a postcard. (translation: T had to carry this thing all the way back to his dorm without anything to cover it up.) Behold:




It is indeed majestic. Other ideas for embarrassing things to send are welcome! Keep in mind he doesn't read this blog!

Of course you do!

Here's how you can win this stuff: go check out my chum Jen's blog, a pocket novel, and leave a comment. That's it! You'll be put in a drawing at 5pm on Thursday, October 15th. Go! Go! Go!

oh the life of a craftster

Guess what everyone! I have almost--almost--made enough money on my etsy shop to cover the cost of my most recent batch of supplies! Woo! And I know you have been meaning to tell your friends about what a great idea it would be for them to Send More Postcards...so get on it!

With love,
Carly

because I stupidly agreed to pick up a barista shift at can can this morning
dang it

there's something strangely satisfying

about reading Animal Liberation in a Princeton library. Like if I have a question, I can go find Peter Singer and ask him to clarify.

Ta-ta for now!

I'll be back to my semi-regular posting on Tuesday! Until then I'll be way up in the lovely, amazing, gorgeous New Jersey (ew) with my boo for my bday!

ALSO, if you haven't checked out my new Etsy shop, PLEASE do so! The postcards are cheap and you never know when I'll send you a bonus card for being nice enough to buy one... :)

One of my cards has been featured in an Etsy Showcase, which is when a member of the Etsy community makes a collection of items that they like, based around a theme. This one (big surprise) is music!
