like a fruit machine
My rellies have arrived all-right from Australia (Australia!) and they’ve brought the required tax of two boxes of Tim-Tams, and I am happy.
No, finals aren’t over yet, but I’m posting. I don’t know if I’m lucky or cursed but my classes have lately had this tendency to be a complete waste of time, besides providing fodder for blog updates, twitter posts, and basically every other aspect of my brain besides the part that retains information about whatever subject I’m studying.
I’m trying out a new segment! We’ll see how this goes:
Because EVERYBODY ELSE picks out cool images, takes the picture and saves it to their webspace and links back… I’m going to draw them instead. Preferably when I’m on the bus. Away from the image. And have no real recollection of what it looks like. Clearly this is a profoundly soul-stretching excersize. I have no idea how to spell excersize.
Let’s start with something I hope y’all already know about:
These boots. I want them. I am not able to link back to wherever they came from, because they came from MY MIND, but I fully believe that somewhere, SOMEWHERE, they exist. I REFUSE to give up on this. (And a pair for Winona, because I promised.)
Not like, literally, my baby cows should be smaller, but, well, you know, we all have to have flaws. Luckily for me my only flaw is my calves. My huge, huge man-calves.
(MAN-calves!)
(No, really, I got them from my Dad.)
(My Dad, who is a MAN.)
This lovely bird mirror, that I found here and it is only $112, which seems pretty reasonable, I guess.
It is gorgeous, and SO ME, but I have yet to own my own apartment, wall, etc, so am a little nervous to purchase something like this (semi) sight unseen, from the internet, where it could be damaged in shipping! But I still dream about it someday being in my home.
So… I have a thing for ampersands. Yes, that’s an ampersand, or the ever-so-famous “andsign” as many people refer to it nowadays, &&&&&&&& I love them. The way they look in type and script is so awesome, and I think graphically they really pack a punch. The ampersand tote bag can be found here for a measely £10, which I think is actually a lot of money in US dollars, I honestly have no idea. I’d also love to own the “2″ bag on this website, but the “&” really is what I’m salivating after. Too bad I only own about a gazillion purses, you know.
And finally, this lovely lion necklace from ragtrader has been on my wishlist since September. I want it so! I’ve already purchased a necklace from ragtrader before, and can only rant and rave about how awesome she is. My necklace arrived promptly, it’s of great quality, and I think I get the most compiments on my clover than any other necklace I own (and that’s saying quite a bit!). I really need to add this lion to my collection, if only so I can feel more FIERCE during bad days.
What do you think? What are the things that keep returning to YOUR mind, your internet shopping wants?
