BatSmart! Written on November 14, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
There was a commerical that ran on tv here a few months back for some crappy Korean or American car (I really can’t remember which), that featured a car super hero with this ridiculous cape. Ever since seeing that, I wanted to put a cape on the smart. With Halloween rapidly approaching, I saw my [...]
Belated Halloween shenanigans Written on November 13, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
Halloween is a huge holiday for me, but November is notoriously busy because of people needing shit designed for the holidays, so I’m never really timely about posting about it. However, due to a Crape Myrtle tree’s roots growing into our plumbing system and the subsequent fix that is going to require a wall being [...]
New Orleans Written on November 2, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
On the way back from Houston, it was decided that it’d be a great idea to go to New Orleans since it would only tack on 30 minutes of driving time. We pulled into New Orleans just after dark and made our way to the French Quarter where there were tons of people walking around [...]
A wedding in Texas. Written on November 1, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
Last weekend I took a 12 hour car ride to Houston to attend the wedding of a long-time internet friend. I took Friday off work, and left Atlanta right after work on Thursday. Caught rush hour traffic both leaving Atlanta at 7pm and arriving in Houston at 9am. The ride to Houston was pretty interesting. [...]
Death stairs. Written on October 19, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
I had a short day trip to Amicalola Falls this Saturday. I was under the impression by the flowery prose on the GA State Park Leaf Watch page, that it would be gray skies but with lots of color. There was a bit of color, but nothing to get excited about. It looked as though [...]
Crème Brûlée Written on October 18, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
I love crème brûlée. (I also love Amélie. Such a beautiful film.) For the longest time, I was intimidated to try making it, though. Custards are notoriously testy, prone to curdling and becoming rubbery, and the recipes I studied involved all kinds of funky steps that I just didn’t know if I was prepared to [...]
Beginning the biscuit quest. Written on October 15, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
Seeing as I am from the south and love to bake, you’d assume that I’d have an awesome biscuit recipe that is flaky, delicious and full of win. And you would be wrong. Although I am from Georgia, and have lived here my entire life, I have learned precious little about southern cooking. My family [...]
Weekend in Berea Written on October 11, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
I had the pleasure of staying last weekend in Berea, Kentucky. It’s a quaint little town that is basically run by this cute little college. Berea is basically a free school for underprivileged Appalachian kids, where they work off their school related debt in the town by way of hospitality or traditional crafts. I found [...]
The office moved. Written on October 7, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
The office moved last week. We’ve gone from a dark little cave to a bright, echo-y hall of douchebaggery. I never thought I would miss working in the cave that completely blocked all means of cellular communication. I am one of three designers that did not get an office. This is still a step up [...]
Atlanta Flood of 2009 Written on September 26, 2009, by fuzzdecay.
This week at work was absolutely insane. We’re in the middle of a move from our current office space, which is a cave of a basement that cell signal can’t even puncture, to a new office that is being renovated. Last week there was a bit of a rain which made it evident, through an [...]
