Manly Wednesday- FerMANtation

I started workin on this on girly tuesday, so though i'm posting it on manly wednesday, blogger does not recognize it as such. Touche, Blogger.

Brahs like beer, as I mentioned before. Also, dudes- manly dudes- have an I-Can-Do-That-Better attitude, that’s why the home brewing kits are popular.

Check out the Lager Brewzer 10 Pint Micro Brewing System. Julie thinks there is nothing dorkier in the world than making beer in your garage… but she also can’t wait for her next issue of Journal of Accountancy.

Then there’s this Alcoshot Kit… you can make your own fruity shots… may or may not win over the wife?

And there’s this guy here… make your own wine?? Man, I don’t know… don’t people spend years making a bottle of wine? And use old oak casks and all that? I mean, I’ve made wine on accident when my old grape juice fermented, and I’m curious how different this make-your-own-wine kit is from that.

Hang dangler

I’ve been whipping up my wannabe capiz shell/wood style pendant lamp. It’s coming along. Slowly. This will be the backside, so all mistakes will be not that noticeable hopefully. Personally, there are zero mistakes on my backside. 100% perfect.

Now they're part of my Estate

I went to an estate sale down the street. They are weird/sad. I couldn’t buy some old man shirts out of a deceased old man’s closet, though some of the old man shirts would be shirts I’d wear (I am an old man.)



I did, however, pick up a couple items that might be good etsy material. Ladies like vintage fondue pots and flowery mugs right? I’m hoping to open a store with modern wood creations soon. Well. First I have to create the creations. So, soonish. Maybe just estate items til then.

Manly Update- One Day Late

Bros! How could I do it to thee? Leave you hanging on a Wednesday?? I’m here to make up for it though. I bring you the Halitosis Detector. That’s right. Makin moves? Did you have the spicy Big As Yo Face Burrito for dinner, though your date had the mint salad? This little guy measures your breath at four danger levels… I suggest taping a container of Altoids to the back of this contraption… maybe as an upgrade, they could tell you how many you’ll need to pop, or maybe just bail completely. Bald man got yer back.

French (not Canadian) Food

There have been these joints poppin up around town that serve food out of trailers. The other day, my coworker and I visited Flip Happy Crepes- it being one such establishment.



Truth of the matter is, I think I’ve had maybe A crepe in my day… possibly as part of a Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity combo at IHOP? Maybe. So the idea of pork, cheddar cheese and pickles coming out of crepe was at first revolting, but upon entering my mouth at lunch time, the opposite.



Not only was it wicked delicious, the place is run by a couple cute ladies. One works savory. One works sweet. They both only work 4 days a week, and about 3.5 hours a day. Room for a bald man workin pork detail? Or... nevermind.

Coneheads

Last night we went over to a friend’s house. Her dog has the cone head. Another friend just got her dog’s cone head off as well. Today’s post is dedicated to those pooches coned up. Pick up this Carlos Night Light in pure white porcelain. May your dog not knock it over with his cone blinder. I’m thinking about getting one myself because I could pour Combos in there for an all day snack.

Rack Em!

I started a little bloggin yesterday, then accidentally deleted it, possibly due to the double shot of Claritin D and Benadryl, which as I read later makes one lose focus. Might be why I forgot my coat yesterday too, which wasn’t smart since it’s kind of cold outside… (this is where you enter your own segue to coat racks, and you laugh and laugh, and don’t know how I make something like coat racks seem SOO funny!)



So yeah, coat racks aren’t really needed in Austin TX, but if they were, might I get one of these? I might… we saw one of these Tom Dixon wire coat racks in the Design Within Reach Airstream trailer. Problem is my coat costs 20 bucks, and this is 330. It’s like parking a Pinto in the Bat Cave, you know?



Though I like this Katai Coat Rack, it’s the kind of item Julie won’t allow in the house. It’s actually made out of steel, but the wife will veto it because of its slight nod towards log cabinishness.




This is actually a lighting system thing by Frenchy Matali Crasset, but it rules, and I can see tossing my clear rain poncho on it to make for a more sensual soft light before it catches on fire.




Back to the Loyal Loot Ladies for this thang called Coat Hang. It’s my favorite since you know… they bend pieces of plywood off this long stand, and I’m just down with that kind of stuff, okay? Dang...



Man, but there’s also the Coat Range… smarties shave off some of the walnut veneer to expose the maple veneer beneath to create snow-capped mountains. Double Dang. See how lucky those are who live in cold places, far away from cedar trees?
