In pleasant news...More Birthdays! Happy bday to Jared yesterday.  Happy Birthday, Adam, Julie and Rob White today! 

Etsy HQ has a new pet: a huge octopus named Otis has unexpectedly taken over the Storque.  This may sound ominous, but he's really quite cuddly.

Deelind, his former mama.

An undisclosed female Etsy admin was mistaken for a nun on the subway platform this morning.

We found out that Bre is a cyborg.

Honestly, this doesn't come as much of a surprise, considering his deep communicado with the internets.

Rob has been wearing plaid pants all week. All the guitar playing in Nashville has gone to his head... where the music trasformed into four bold colors, aligned to cross-cross each other in a perpendicular pattern, and then expressed theyselves on his trousers.


And finally, Vanessa is has another mysterius illness, and she fears she may be slowly going insane. (Thus this post.) However, her spirits were lifted by a surprise bridal shower/crafting night where we made cute pins and gocco thank you cards. (Thanks, friends!)
