Blog Like It’s the End of the World Day is coming on June 13th, like it has since 2007. This will be the last year that I will participate, because really, it’s zombies, and there’s a point where it gets a little Dusk ’til Dawn if you know what I mean. Or even if you don’t.

It’s a little different in that this year, for your horror-lovin’ convenience – blogs that sign up to participate will be listed on an aggregate feed, so you only need go to one place to read the stories.

My story is one of those that continues from previous years – I will post tomorrow with a list of links so you can read at your leisure, or you can just click here to get started.

Magickal Realism: Home of the Zombie Repellent

Just for the heck of it, I thought I’d share 7 things I enjoy taken from my Etsy favorites. These are all things I might buy, given the opportunity.

I would absolutely love it if one of these decal artists could make a decal of the Minneapolis skyline – I actually would like to put up such a decoration in my living room, next to my skyline painting. (I call my decoration motif “urban mythology.” It’s my thing.)

I’ve als got my eye on a solar-powered version of these – some colorful lights coming from my balcony at night would help myself and my guests see where we put down our drinks.

This print just speaks to me on so many levels – I am a joyful magical thinker, and I love this for it because it grounds the magic in the ordinary, right where it belongs.

I’m on a hunt for a watch. Just the right watch, the one that speaks to me – or more specifically, that survives me.

I love heart-shaped pendants for some reason, not sure why. This one would be a great conversation piece, especially sitting at the Wilde Roast with Joel: “Straight or gay?” “Worth asking for his number or not?” “Court summons or restraining order?”

Yes, my living room is urban mythology. My bedroom is a sort of rainbow shabby chic, complete with white vanity and girly prints. My fiancee says he finds it soothing.  Also, my father loved red carnations.

I like this box – it’s just a bit girly and shiny, but it has some real personality to it, and is just the thing that would brighten up my vanity table that little bit extra.

Paired together these things might look very strange but I assure you my home’s decoration style makes sense when you see it.
