misc updates
crazy.
on one hand i wish i blogged more about the adventures that i had this year, on the other it’s not stuff i want to be visible to google/public. if i make this site private, would anyone care to see it? or write just for myself? i may just do that. ping me if you are interested.
new bag desire
Pretty and low key. WANT LES ESSENTIELS DE LA VIE O’Hare Shopper Tote. The entire line is quite nice and understated. I saw that bag on a lady in the elevator and thought it was lovely (it really does looks “nice” even if simple).
rant on chargers
i’m traveling lots now.
so i have:
– kindle
– ipod
– camera (nikon)
– mac air
– work laptop
– blackberry
– hair straightener
and
every
bloody
thing
has
its
own
charger
w
t
f
.
now, let’s multiply that to at least 2 distinctive geographical zones (swiss and UK), ignoring any Canada chargers.
let’s add 2 mice (both travel mice but somehow my bluetooth isn’t working with the work laptop, once i get that it’ll at least be cut down to 1)
let’s add the work charger cables (which i will cull down this trip to just 1, from 3 – canada/uk/eu because i do need to work on the road and thus the canada cable). at least only 1 brick and 3 different “exit” cables!
basically half my suitcase is electronics.
and this means no ipad either.
(ALSO I HAVE A MAC AIR AND ITS THE AWESOMEST)
blows my mind every time
on the other side of music highlights
music highlights for march/april
wiz califa – black and yellow
dennis fever – hey hey
lavive – no time for sleeping
tinie tempah – written in the stars
mr saxobeat
whip your hair
duck sauce – barbara streisand
martin solvieg feat dragonette – hello
parov stelar++
jessie j – do it like a dude
stromae – alors on danse
kanye west feat rihanna – all of the lights
don’t judge. each song now has a massive amount of associations and memories for a ridiculously diverse number of reasons.
mackin’ on kate spade bracelets
i’m day dreaming about some kate spade stuff.
without going into too much detail in a public forum, i’m about to have some fairly massive changes in my life and thus am on hold in terms of big shopping decisions until these changes transpire. but i LOVE these bracelets. love their message too. i may break down and get one. or two.
and i totally need a laptop bag. just probably not this one. ha!
