trying to keep track of my life
which way is the dancer spinning?
i saw it clockwise right away and couldn’t switch for like 10 minutes. tim saw it counter clockwise and had a moderately easy time switching.
so then i switched.
now i can’t switch back.
this is fun and infuriating at the same time. which way do you see first?
so.
tim and i have gotten engaged this weekend. it was wonderful; it was romantic, and i am still walking on clouds.
how crazy is this? i think out of all the crazy things i have done in my life, this beats them all. even skydiving.
so after many months of planning to do it i finally went on etsy to check it out.
current finds, in order from really most wanted to really wanted:
Set of 4 Napkins in Tuquoise Linen with Brown Branches Print
Set of Four Turquoise Cereal Bowls
too lazy to save/upload for these. they are cute necklaces.
silver hedgehog necklace
tiny charm (necklace)
wish bone (necklace)
damn. etsy is neat. (it takes a lot of time to find what you want though; there is almost too much variety).
about a month ago i spied a garage sale on the street parallel to my parents’ house. my mom, my dog and i stopped by to see whats what. among the hockey memorabilia there was a table.
it looked like this one:
and cost $100. (and he said he’s willing to bargain).
i had no space for it; mom didn’t like it. we left, me with a pained heart.
in that month, after never having seen that table before, i started seeing it everywhere. (and it is unlikely a selective attention as i really do obsess over the wire-frame designed furniture more than i should.)
first there was this.
after about 20 other occurrences, i research our new chairs (tempted to ebay more… sidenote: i can possibly ebay some chairs for around $250 that would cost $1.5-$700 new. i am sad.)
and find this link. i’m not sure it works for you; but for me the single, lonely recommendation is that freaking table.
which wouldn’t have fit anyway.
ARGH.
there is a wonderful sensation of drinking an almost full bottle of wine after work, expecting a haircut the next morning, watching utterly romantic and COMPLETELY over the top cheesy movies while knowing that
a) a great haircut! will be here! in a short 12 hours!
b) i’m officially will be graduated in just two days!
c) and tomorrow i get to celebrate tim’s graduation!
d) and that work is freaking AWESOME
this moment of watching way too much sweetness on the screen and feeling all the “completely-wrong-how-can-a-grown-woman-have-these-sensations” twinges is utterly fun and awesome.
(this is where my indepth thoughts start)
have you ever considered how many of your actions stem not form your civilized, rational, logical being – but rather from the very hidden (almost invisible) instincts that generations of survival have developed within us.
every time i enjoy a romantic movie there is a part of me that feels completely and utterly ridiculous – stereotypical, even, and that’s a rather unpleasant feeling, being stereotypical. but i despite my best desires of being a rational, perfectly logical and neutral human being can’t help but swoon when a girl rushes onto the airplane to catch her love in the last possible second.
(pauses for the umpteenth time during this buzzed entry to watch the movie)
oh gosh he is a WIDOWER! so he is a a GREAT person after all! awwwwww
there it goes again.
tonight i’ve resigned to these feelings. might as well look at myself with sarcasm and laugh at them, rather than try to at all to deny them.
(i think my blogs are neater when i’m drinking wine. and lacking sleep.)
but not for as long of periods of time. its totally crazy when he stands like this.
i want to make a new blog under my domain that catalogues the cheap alternatives to fancy furniture. because i’m spending all this time doing it anyway. given the easy confusion that arose, i want a cool name – and i have no ideas!
aaand go. :P
this is so freaking genius. although during his voice over he does seem to be rubbing his geniousness in. “i shot this from the same perspective as the fans that surrounded me” (okay, not verbatim quote, but approximately what he said).
still, very, very smart.
