I’ve been designing lots of new stuff lately — mostly because I have an “ideas” list a mile long and I am trying to get through as much as I can before I have to buckle down for finals. This is my favorite of the new creations, though:

I’ve actually only recently developed any kind of ability to be handy. I had always lived in apartments until I moved in with my girl. Now when stuff breaks, I have to fix it (or if it’s really bad, call some one else). When this first started happening, lots of frustration and tantrums ensued. But now I’ve kind of started getting the hang of it. My resume thus far includes toilet repair, garbage disposal repair, fish pond repair (Yes, we have a fish pond and it has to be repaired. Who knew? Might I suggest not living in a house with a fish pond, by the way, they are a pain in the ass.) and shower head repair. I can feel the manliness coursing through my veins!

I am also growing quite a container garden. I don’t know how manly that is, but it involves dirt and it involves free herbs for the summer, which I’m a fan of. Maybe I should design some gardening humor tees as well?
