I'm posting about shoes. I rarely get this excited over purchases but these shoes I just bought are amazing. I found them at Macy's for $125 on sale for $80. I was going to get them, but they didn't have my size so I went online and found them for the beautiful total of $40!!


Here's a picture of my new Vince Camuto Madrid Mary Janes!!

The Christmas List

Presents I received for Christmas:

- a charging station for all my electronic devices (something I've been wanting for a really long time to organize all my shit)

- a colorful pan (eventually I want ridiculously bright and mismatched kitchen items)

- a giant mug (because I love giant mugs)

- a purple tool kit (because I like to pretend I'm butch and fix things)

and last but not least...

- a WATERPROOF digital camera!! (my first digital camera went for a swim in a martini, and my second digital camera played in the rain on the pride float. This one I can take underwater and it's super sexy)


Now that I have a camera I want to start taking pictures of everything. I feel that my life isn't as documented as it used to be. I can't wait!!

vintage sexism ads

I love finding vintage ads that are insanely sexist. Here's one I found when Lysol was a douche product. My vag hurts just thinking about it. (You might have to click on the image to read the whole thing.)

I've been home for 4 days and I have yet to see anyone. Friday there was a crazy snow storm and I stayed inside all day. Saturday I didn't have access to a car so I drank at home. Today was just a lazy day. Tomorrow during the day I won't have a car and I have to spend quality time with my dad because it's his birthday. I miss having time to myself. I want to go and drive somewhere. Run errands on my own.

I'm so bored.

Fall 08 FINISHED!!!

I just finished my last final! I have been so stressed out these past couple of weeks. I have spent more time at Starbucks writing papers then working. I'm sure the people I work with are extremely sick of me. I had major issues with my Art History class in the past week. After spending weeks writing this paper that I knew nothing about, she emailed me back saying I had to revise it completely in order to pass the class. Mind you, I only had 5 hours to revise it. Well, I did it, but that took away from my studying for my history exam that was the next day. UGH. I'm over it. Oh, and after all that bullshit with my Art History professor, I went out drinking with her.. and then she said if I'm ever in Austria I have a place to stay. So weird.

THEN... when I arrived at Starbucks this afternoon my track pad on my laptop decided not to work anymore. It would. Seriously. Every semester I've had so far, something has broken on my laptop right before something major is due. Thankfully one of the girls I work with had an external mouse for her oldschool laptop that worked with mine. She saved my life.

I get to go home in 2 days!!! Tomorrow will be spent cleaning up my disgusting apartment and packing. I am so relieved. I just want to sit and do nothing for 2 days in a row. I want to read books that I want to read.

I want to get a camera and start taking pictures of everything. I have been without a camera for so long, I'm kind of craving it.

I'll post more when I'm home. I'll have a lot of free time.

This may be last season, but I WANT this outfit.

That is all.

I have so much to say I have no idea where to begin.

Lets start with this article in the NY Times today.



On the left is an image of crystals in rocks found in Australia which scientists used to form what they think is a more accurate picture of what Earth actually looked like (on the right). Doesn't it look magical! As one blogger said, "I had no idea that the Earth looked exactly like my trapper keeper I had in 3rd grade! All that’s missing is a couple of dolphins or Orca whales jumping out of the water." Perfect!

I want to be domestic. Not "stepford wife" domestic, but I want to be able to do crafty things. I want to learn how to knit, wear a cute apron while I bake, have a lovely apartment that I hold dinner parties in, bargain shop and go antiquing. I just really love that idea of having a homey place to live. I also want plants, but I just killed my last cactus so maybe that's not such a good idea. OOOH and maybe a kitchen with a window above the sink so I can try and maintain little pots of herbs.

So far I've finished 1 paper. I have a final draft due on Monday, my couples paper due on Wednesday, and my text rain paper due... whenever (hopefully I'll finish it for Monday). I know I also have 2 finals... maybe 3. I can't wait for this semester to be over.

Last monday my grandfather passed away. It wasn't a surprise which I guess made it a little bit easier. I didn't think it would affect me as much as it did. We weren't that close later on in life, but I remember in my childhood we were. Perhaps that is what I miss the most. I feel horrible for not seeing him as much in his later months, but to be fair, he didn't even know who I was when I was sitting next to him at the last wedding. I miss the grandfather he used to be before the stroke. I miss those days when I was a child and he used to chase me around pretending to be a monkey. It's those days I will remember him by.

Today was the last day of teaching the class. It went by extremely fast. I'm really going to miss them. I don't think they know how funny they were. They asked if I wanted to volunteer and teach it again next semester. I don't think I'll do it. The transportation part was a killer. If it was closer to my place, I'd do it in a heart beat.

My eyes feel like they're bleeding.
