Damn, How Hate Ehow!

I just clicked another ehow link on accident. I really try to stay away from that site for many reasons. Every time I do a quick search for "how to do [insert complicated thing]" one of the results will always be some superfluous ehow article. In this article will be a general gist of an outline of how to do the task. Its quite frustrating when you do a search on how to preform brain surgery and you get a quick outline listing out the basic steps in layman's terms.

Bachelor Dieting Zine!

I was at the Stumptown Comic fest and I bought and got gifted some really cool zines. My favorite zine was this one about a fish market. I'll link to it when I find it later. Its a one page zine that progresses as you unfold it. I was so inspired by this so I made my own!

I hate when people excessively use ranch dressing. but its kinda funny at the same time to see someone who is trying to be healthy by eating a salad only to see them douse it in creamy white.

This zine is about this diet.
