let the hate mail begin -- you're scraptacular!

What the fuck is up with scrapbooking as a hobby? Clue: most photos are now DIGITAL. Most of us look at them on computers, and save and edit and share them digitally as well. Do you really need to glue that shit into a book and decorate it with glitter?

While on tour, I traveled past a strip mall with a store called "Scraptacular."

"That store has 'craptacular' in its name!" I said, disbelievingly.

And why are the suburbs full of stores dedicated to memorializing life events on stationery pages, gluing old ticket stubs next to photos of your red-eyed friends centered within clip-art-tastic sticker-frames?
New Yorkers don't do this shit."

Scrapbooking is for people who don't have blogs. I'll bet those people eat paste.

A friend put it best when she said, "Scrapbooking is art for totally useless people."


Readers: I am JUST QUOTING. I absolve myself of any personal responsibility for the above viewpoint. Please don't sodomize me with oversize gluesticks.

It's so true - I used to love scrapbooking until I started blogging. Now not only am I useful, I'm conserving paper by wasting time...
