Variations on the Black theme

So, I'm needing protection for my phone...it's cold in MN and I'm clumsy so it needs, what else, a cozy. I really dig the classiness of the Vaja cases but they're pretty spendy and they seem, well...a bit much, all around...am I that guy? ('course they're leather and extremely customizable as far as styles and colors).

Other end of the spectrum, there are these lovely lil' handmade felt jobbies that Leigh Hicks makes. I'm pretty partial to these but don't wear patchouli anymore, soooo...


'Course there are more generic options which are probably the practical and fiscally responsible way to go but they're kinda boring. I'm in the middle of deciding so if anyone has an opinion...

Halloween...Vegas-Style

So Emily and I joined a bunch of friends and
acquaintances for a Halloween shindig...we
ended up with, quite possibly, the lamest costumes
at the party (Em as a Freudian Slip - great idea
but execution was ummm, well... And I was Elmer Fudd
- looked like I do everyday except for the
foamcore gun). But it was a good time and props
to the Vegas Lounge for bringing a bit of 'up north'
to the city. And props to Nicole and Heather for
throwing a party that did not include
stripping ex's this year but was a super-blast.
