I don't know what it is about vintage trophies, but I like 'em.  I picked this one up from Mechanical Stag on Etsy.  It's a prize for tennis prowess.  And there's a little surprise....

Tah dah!  It's bright blue inside! 

It was about a year ago that I bought my other trophies.  Maybe it's something about this time of year that makes me semi-wistful for any type of athletic ability.  Oh well.  Pointing and clicking are more my speed.

Restoration Hardware should really consider more ads such as this one.  It's graphic and slightly witty without being too cute-sy.  I like it. 

Now...if only they'd come down about 85% on their prices....

John's DVD Pick of the week (June 28th 2011)

Hey guys it is Tuesday again and it's time for my pick of the week. This week it's a small film that is better than all the wide releases this week its

Barney's Version

That's right The all star cast dramady about life and marriage is my pick this week. Other films out this week include Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch (the first film I reviewed for this blog), The modern day take on Beauty and The Beast called Beastly, The supernatural thriller Season Of The Witch, and the poorly visualized The Warrior's Way. Those three films I have not and will not see.

My vintage pick is: In honor of this week's release of Larry Crowne I'm recommending a previous collaboration of Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, it's called Charlie Wilson's War. It's not the best film but it's still worth watching.

Trading Up

I may have mentioned before, but I love Trader Joe's.  Just love it.  I took today off and treated myself to a little TJ sweep.  Yum.

Here are some of my Trader Joe's all-stars. 

1. Chicken drumettes.  They're like frozen chicken nuggs but way tastier.

2. Dark chocolate peanut butter cups.  Smooth and creamy.  And antioxidant-y.

3. Organic peanut butter sandwich cookies.  Imagine Ritz Bitz but with flavor.

4. Gone Bananas! Frozen, chocolate-covered banana bites. 

5. Fudge and/or Caramel Sauce.  ...

Sorry.  I'm back.  :)  Trader Joe's is just so beyond.  Everything is so neatly packaged and extremely well priced.  Most of you know that I'm not a big veg-eater, but they have such a nice selection that it's almost tempting.  

If you're into fresh flowers and plants, they have you covered, too.  What are some of your favorites?
