These chalkboard-style Star Wars posters are patently awesome
This is probably the classiest and (perhaps) subtlest Star Wars nerd poster of all time! But there’s so much more where that came from — search Star Wars chalkboard art on Amazon and let your fanboy minds get blown away.
Home sweet film location: What it’s like when your home becomes a movie star
I had a woman “murdered” in my basement, vampires in my backyard, a creepy, creepy doll come to life and stalk people, a bomb detonated (special effects, not an actual bomb) in my garage, even a model sequestered away in the basement just for haircuts. In the last three years approximately 10 film crews have been in and out of my house making art. If you’re interested in opening your home to to the bright lights and cameras, there’s a few ways to prepare…
Help! I need alternative office furniture for my home office
This is my first time working primarily from home and I am loving the flexibility. But I HATE working at a desk!

I was met with confusion and anger by my parents on a constant basis — they couldn’t understand why I would waste the day sleeping as late as 11am.

Take a peek into this mysterious Sherlock-themed bathroom
I’ve been obsessing on BBC’s Sherlock since season one, and so I figured, this is my place why the hell can’t I have a BBC Sherlock bathroom? So I did…
Let’s talk about breast reductions
I’m 35, and finally coming to the realization that I just really don’t like my large breasts. So, I’ve started thinking about breast reduction, but find myself conflicted. Something about it feels like cheating, or betraying, the body that otherwise has served me so well. I would love to hear from the Offbeat Homies — both from folks who have had reductions or who have thought about it but took another course.
