With every blogger on the internet compiling Nordstrom Anniversary Sale favorites, I got the idea to compare the sale’s prices to shopping on Amazon.

Video Game Visibility Project – Guild Wars 2 Guide Book
Holy shit I am behind on this. I’m so behind I’m getting into the risk zone for forgetting some things – that is, more things than my FFVIV subscription which I forget about every month. So, prepare for spam. Anyway, for this post… I bought the Guild Wars 2 guide at Half Price books. It…
Good Design, Even When It’s Not For Me
Getting my degree did about two important things for me. The second of these is that school instilled in me a respect for design that transcends my own taste. Sometimes I have to ask myself- do I like this because it’s good design, or because I like it personally, and want to own it…

JCPenney Fangirlism and What I Bought on Clearance
I would just like to go on the record and say that I love the new JC Penney format. I’ve heard that it hasn’t been too well received and I’ve also heard people complain that they want the old “frumpy” JCP back… but personally, I’m a big fan of the new “boutique” style. Some of the…
Will You Take Me Home? Deals That Weren’t Meant for Me – Black No. 1 at JCP Clearance.
Sometimes when I’m shopping, I see something that is an awesome deal, but its not perfect for me. It might be the wrong size, or a cut that isn’t flattering on me, or just not right for my life. I always feel a compulsive desire to help these lonely items find their perfect homes.. but I’m not…
