[LINKED] Supporter Wall

Remember that dude a couple of years ago who ended up raising like a million dollars by selling every single pixel on his web page for like a buck each? Right, well I quickly filed that one under: "ideas that I should have had, but didn't cause I suck." Anyway, a new company called Supporter Wall is copying that idea by allowing others to start their own supporter walls on their own websites.

[WHERE I BLAHG] Amanda from Design Blahg

We'll pull back the curtain, and give you an insider's look into the lives of some of your favorite bloggers with 'Where I blahg.' This week: our very own Amanda Waas, the hilarious, way the hell less lazy than I am blogger who keeps it real here on Design Blahg.

Yep, Amanda is the brains behind the brilliant round-ups around here, such as "Fun office supplies so you won't commit suicide in your cubicle" and "Valentine's gifts for your stupid relationship." So if you're under the impression that I'm the only bitch around here who can bring the funny: THINK AGAIN! Amanda is way the hell funnier than I am. Against my better judgment, however, I'm letting her post this photo of her living room, cause as I explained to her via an email fight we had about it: it's killing me that there is nothing on her wall behind the couch. And I mean like dead on the floor. She had this to say in response: SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.

[A GIRL CAN DREAM] What I Would Buy if I Had the Courage to Steal Someone's Credit Card

I've been thinking a lot about money lately, mainly because my debit card was stolen.  Well, not the actual card, just the numbers, which is what makes it worse.  Like, all of a sudden, shit just started getting deducted from my bank account, even though I had my debit card (you know, the one with the goofy photo of myself) right in my wallet, right in my pocket (purses are for people who are WEAK). 

So I ask myself, "Amanda, what kind of person—located in Midlothian, Virginia, no less—would be such a pussy to not even punch me in the face and steal my wallet, but to secretly steal the numbers when I gave them my debit card to pay for some wings and a couple of Texas-sized margaritas at a trashy BBQ restaurant?" 

Like, at least physically accost me so I can sport a shiner and look all badass.

[ROUND-UP] What You Should Buy for a Hoarder

You can learn a lot about someone by what they have in their DVR.  Do they have a lot of So You Think You Can Dance? and Real Housewives of whatever bullshit city they're doing now?  GAY.  Do they have a lot of Gossip Girl and teen vampire shows?  PEDOPHILE.

But, as always, some people defy snap judgements and general categorization.  If you could describe someone who has 30 Rock, Pawn Stars, Jeopardy, Millionaire Matchmaker, Intervention, Heavy, and Hoarders in her DVR in one word, what would it be?      

Obviously the answer here is "CRAZY."

[LINK'D] An Afternoon With

Michael Mundy is a lifestyle photographer who started this kickass site called 'An Afternoon With.' I just spent like 45 mins clicking around and as best I can tell, this is a record of ppl who are way the hell cooler, and way the hell more attractive than I am, living in way the hell nicer homes.

But I'm not bitter!

I can't stop staring!

"This is a project about people. It is a project about our space and the things we keep and the things we don’t throw away.
