My three-week vacation, initially intended for some offline, getting out of my own head time, turned into a sunshiny swath of internet-free clarity. I dug in the backyard with my kids, spent time with my mom, volunteered at school, read a book, practiced my photography. After unbuckling myself from my laptop and reengaging with the world, I realized that my career as a professional stuff-poster has run its course.
Huh.
We’ve done some excellent things together, you and I: given away some good shit, won an award, made a few bucks along the way. But as much as I have loved these past two years, Misosouper has reached its sell-by date, as most sites eventually do. So I’m selling: if you want to buy this blog, here’s its private sale listing. If you need me, I’ll be at annapowersproductions {at} gmail.com, or info {at} annapowersphoto.com (site redesign forthcoming).
My most fervent wish is that someone will buy this site, and keep it alive with their stylish and snarky musings. I wouldn’t object, however, if it ends up a gallery of Japanese food porn.
Sayonara, friends. It’s been fun.

Dear Readers,
On a bitterly warm day in February two years ago, I agonized over my first post. 570 posts later, much to my surprise, I’m still writing and you’re still reading. Things have changed around here: I’ve been with BlogHer, then without BlogHer; I’ve teamed up with TheFind; I’ve produced another daughter, and another business.
After two years, I’m stepping away for a two-week vacation, a respite from looking at stuff on the internet all day. My eyes? They burn.
I’ll be back the week of February 22nd, with two spectacular giveaways (notice the two theme? you’re smart like that) and a really fun project.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love,
Anna

With all of the rainy weather we’ve been having here in San Francisco I could really use a new outdoor doormat. A rubber weatherproof doormat is the key to preventing all sorts of outdoor debris and mud from making its way onto my hardwood floors. These clever manhole cover door mats are cheeky and fun. My fave is the Paris Sewer Manhole Cover, the other cities don’t have quite the same glamour element (really no glamour element). The Paris design is much more aesthetically appealing, as are most things Parisian in my mind. From Feet First Doormats, the entire collection is made of 100% recycled truck tires and nylon flocking for extra durability.
Save on your purchases with Perpetual Kid from TheFind.com’s coupon site.

The secretly jealous, withering stares of emo high schoolers sent this penguin to its death.
