(no subject)
K. It's been over a year since I updated. Shoot me.
Seriously, though, I couldn't post anything during the Pens' season. Where hockey is concerned (especially playoff hockey), I outdo Sid in the superstition department. Ask anyone who knows me -- it borders on the extreme.
By the time the final seconds had ticked away and we'd won, I'd racked up an extensive list of things I would and wouldn't do during the playoffs. I had a fanmix on my mp3 player, but I couldn't post it this year (did last year, we lost, so no go this year). Certain songs got played every day of the playoffs. Certain songs got played at least once on game days. One song got played on days after a loss, one got played on days after a win. No wearing the opposing team's dominant color. At all. Which meant that this year, the color red was absent from my wardrobe for more than six weeks.
I had a pair of Pens earrings that had lousy luck when I wore them during the regular season, but during the playoffs they got the job done. At work, we were allowed to wear Pens gear throughout the playoffs, but if I wore a Pens tee-shirt, we lost. At home, if I didn't wear one specific tee-shirt, we lost. Yeah. Shoulda seen me race home from work on game nights, ditch the work clothes and cram my Fast and Fleuryous shirt on before settling down to enjoy the rest of the game.
We'll see how regular LJ updates go, now that a new season is nearly upon us (for both the Pens and the Steelers).
But I'll leave you with this: I was scrolling though a Buy.com email and happened upon a discounted Burberry purse. They wanted $470 for some leather-and-canvas handbag, which made me go "o.0". See, I don't get dropping serious coin ON a purse, preferring instead to drop it IN my purse. :) Then I read the price that Burberry wanted for the bag: $1595.00! Yeah, if you move that decimal point to the left a couple of places, I'm all over that.
Herewith, my definition of the perfect $1600 handbag: one that costs $50 and has $1550 in cash inside it. :)
