I had a half of a watermelon sitting in my fridge. I couldn’t eat it, it was just okay. What do you do with watermelons that don’t quite cut it? I happens often, you spend a few dollars and you get something that’s not awful, but just not good. Make juice. You have to have a juicer, and thanks to mine, this worked out decent. Slice up the watermelon. I do them up in long strips, so they can fall into the juicer, much like if you were juicing celery. That’s mint. Off to the side, I boiled a few table spoons of honey and a cup of water and mint. Of course, once it’s boiled down, the mint will turn brown. Remove the mint. Hopefully, it’ll infuse with the honey water mixture. Mix it with the watermelon juice. That’s the juice pouring out. Juicer by Jack LaLane. Add some lemon or lime to the mix, and there you have it. Add a tiny piece of fresh mint, and this is looking pretty good. If you have the fancy but sort of impractical ice cube trays by IKEA, then it’s just that much cooler.

So I was inspired by Oprah to start my own Book of the Month club. And here is my first book: What’s Your Poo Telling You? by Josh Richman and Dr. Anish ShethRing of Fire, Shart, No#3. If you don’t know what any of those three names stand for, then you must read “What’s your Poo Telling You?”. This insightful little book is a quick and informative read. Perfect for when you’re doing a Number 2. It tells you everything you need to know, and then some, about your lower digestive health. Don’t like poo? Disgusted by poo? Well everyone does it and you’d die if you didn’t so get over it and read this book. I think that’s exactly how Oprah would introduce it.

Nooka Nooka makes me think of Little Caesar's "Pizza Pizza" line. It's more than just a toy, you can put your watches on it's head. The one on the left is the one I wear. The one on the right as you see below is by Brooklyn Circus. A good looking watch for sure. I'll try it out and see how it rocks on my skinny wrist. The band for the Brooklyn Circus watch is detailed and seemed at first glance to...

The one on the right as you see below is by Brooklyn Circus. A good looking watch for sure. I’ll try it out and see how it rocks on my skinny wrist. The band for the Brooklyn Circus watch is detailed and seemed at first glance to be something that will come off easy, but it’s on there well. Simple design overall, but effective. Multi use toys are cool and give those who’d say, they’re not into toys a reason to get into them.

I get a call inviting me to Takashi Murakami's unveiling of his new line of Louis Vuitton bags, Monogramouflage. It's made appearances at the Brooklyn Museum, and yesterday June 16th, it made a one day appearance at the Louis Vuitton in the Wynn Hotel. A line formed outside, of course, they were checking credentials, and at the same, I saw a Wynn K-9 unit probably there to sniff out bombs. It was...
