It’s been a bit crazy around Siren headquarters for the past few months (and months to come, I suspect!). I am in the process of converting my home office (aka Siren headquarters) into the nursery. Fret not, dear readers, Siren HQ has been relocated and is going strong. 🙂 With all the commotion and moving…
As I mentioned in the last post, I’ve been very busy with a water-damage-related homeowner problem. But since it ’tis the season, I thought I’d revisit a classic Siren post on Valentine’s Day and fair trade. (And please send me positive home-repair thoughts.)

Welcome to the annual charitable giving list for 2009! These are just some of the ways you can give back while indulging in the mass-consumer, gift orgy of the December holidays.

It’s not even the end of Daylight…
Downtown Vegasites are pissed at Mindy Kaling (of The Office) and they’re going to “swarm” Luv It’s Frozen Custard (behind All Star Donuts on LV Blvd. and Oakey). You see, Kaling told the tale of having a sketchy experience at Luv It’s after going there on late night Talk Show Host Craig Ferguson’s recommendation (see…
I know I’ve ranted on this subject before, but what is up with the new Guess ad campaign? (Sorry for the poor quality scan. I couldn’t find a link or jpeg online.) Is this really what Guess is telling people is sexy? And furthermore, this is how they want to show their clothes off to…
