Its pretty exciting late after-noon/early evening NEWs around these parts. Mr. Kanye West gave Cazals some love on his blog. After changing my pants and undergarments, I decided to write about it. Thing is, (as cool as we are, Kanye is 43278573 times cooler) a pretty big fuckin deal. We love Cazals with all our detached-New-York-esc-infested hearts and our joy was more of a reflection of our...

A nice allegory of decision making by E.A.Poe

“I knew one about eight years of age, whose success at guessing in the game of ‘even and odd’ attracted universal admiration. This game is simple, and is played with marbles. One player holds in his hand a number of these toys, and demands of another whether that number is even or odd. If the guess is right, the guesser wins one; if wrong, he loses one. The boy to whom I allude...

You Can Blonde Acid Cult Me Any Day

Get this widget! Visit the Widget Gallery Around The Hours office we like to talk about our new favorite things (designers, crushes, venues, beer); perhaps to the point it gets a bit narcissistic and overwhelming.
