Unpacking shit is like Christmas for stuff you already own
I just found my really super nice volume of Pushkin's love poems filled with his own illustrations the other day, which I was afraid I had lost for good. So I spent the last half hour flipping through it instead of actually finishing unpacking and cleaning up and stuff like I should have been. Just had to post a short one of my absolute favorites ( Read more... ) -
I <3 vinyl.
So I finally brought my record player and albums from my parents' house to Madison a couple weeks ago. I had forgotten just how much I adore records. I love the feel of them, I love the smell of them, I love the sound the needle makes when you set it down, I even love the sound they make when they skip. And the sound just sounds more... real, ( Read more... ) -
Overheard at work
So these two guys come in to work yesterday-- one's computer isn't picking up wireless, the other is just moral support or something. I fix the computer, and step aside-- only a yard or so away, clearly still in hearing distance-- to enter notes on the computer. And the two guys proceed to talk about me ( Read more... ) -
Can we just skip September?
So I remember what I was going to post about yesterday. Hurrah! It was actually two things.
Part the first: apples. I freaking love apples. My grandfather used to have an apple orchard, before he passed away and my grandmother chopped it all down because she was pissed at him for dying.
Yeah, my whole family's crazy.
Anyway, the best kind of ( Read more... ) -
Random happy thoughts

I can't help but smile back at him. There's actually a whole blog about the phenomenon. It's kinda neat.
Also I really love the smell of freshly ( Read more... ) -

Leather is the best substance in this universe. To wit:- It smells amazing.
- It is often soft, at least on one side. And we all know how much I <3 Soft Things.
- You can make cool shit with it.
- Some of said cool shit can in turn be used to hit people with (or more importantly, be hit with).

Holy shit I hate unpacking. It is seriously the most boring thing in the world.
If anyone would like to maybe come over today/tonight/tomorrow night and keep me company while I unpack and/or help me paint some furniture, you'd be more than welcome. I could maybe make you cookies or something. -
Erica + Clementine = friends forever
I got my car (that would be Clementine) back from the shop today! Hurrah! No more worrying about a huge blind spot or trying to get my mom's minivan parallel parked! No more paying $65 dollars to fill it with gas! And no more accidentally riding the brake while getting out of a parking lot, thinking it is the clutch! (Whoops.) (To be fair, I ( Read more... )
