Wrappin'

Martha Stewart's Japanese Newspaper Gift Wrap tutorial is simple and amazing. I love the idea of using foreign newspapers as wrapping. Very clever. It might be worth a trip to the international newsstand! Check out the video here.

(And speaking of rapping, the new Kanye album is kind of lacking. But I suppose since it seems to be about the alienation and loneliness of fame, the slow tempo is appropriate...?)
