east london field trip: hoxton street monster supplies.

i'd love to skip out on real life for an afternoon and take a field trip to the ministry of stories and hoxton street monster supplies--my monster supply is at an all-time low; it's embarrassing.

ministry of stories is a writing center for kids ages 8-18; a place they can go for 1:1 writing tutorials from professional writers and volunteers. inspired by american writer david eggers' 826 valencia project, london-based graphic designers we made this ltd, collaborated with a group of like-minded people, including british author nick hornsby (author of about a boy; love love love the movie; should read the book), to create the center. not only does the front of the shop, hoxton street monster supplies, provide income for the writing center, it also serves as an imagination booster for the budding writers.

pretty cool idea, wouldn't you say?

i love the neck bolt tightener and fang floss.

milk and toast -- a favourite and most nurturing combination. I like my milk ice cold with a straw (one of those cute paper straws with red stripes), or steaming hot, flavoured with a little vanilla and a lot of cinnamon. my toast -- usually two slices at once, and oftentimes flanked with apple slices or cheddar cheese -- is buttery and crunchy.

while growing old together with this blog, and watching it evolve, I've found joy in the milk and toast of my life, and have carved out a little place in the world wide web to record it. stick around, read a few entries -- perhaps you'll find something you love or can relate to.
