florspace giveaway

Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:06:55 -0500

One of my favorite etsy sellers, florspace, mailed me a newsletter about her new Christmas collection. Although I just purchased one of her totes, I find myself almost wishing she’d have released this new Shinzi Katoh tote sooner. Although I couldn’t be happier with the design of my new bag, the interior of this one is so roomy! And I would love to slip my huge umbrella between the two straps on days when the clouds threaten to rain.

She also announced this sweet giveaway at Barefoot Mommy. Five winners will receive miniZ from florspace! Definitely check it out!

Cool and functional Oslo bag from JCrew. I wanted to see if they had the pretty plaid earmuffs from last year, but they only had one pair of weird fuzzy yellow ones.

For $425, you could get this bag here. Available in three colors.

I couldn’t find the link to the necklace, but I did find a link to her contest, which is why I’m on her mailing list, I think. I hope I win?

Well, if you have money to burn and you do end up getting the bangle, send me one too ;)

Apparently I’m on Alex Bittar’s mailing list (I forgot? and though it could be junk?)

I thought the necklace was ok, but this was the only jewelry I would consider getting, probably (if it weren’t $175).

"Battle Over ‘Watchmen’ Surrounds a Producer"

“Battle Over ‘Watchmen’ Surrounds a Producer”

- I meant to post this when it came out on Saturday (the Watchmen article) but I fell asleep by accident. Also, it’s hard to post regularly after a summer of no real internet (very slow wireless connection).
I haven’t fully read either of these articles yet.

domonomnom:

I post that, then see this.
Months after it was announced (I think), domo-kun has finally reached America. I tried to win a domo-kun doll from Target at the community service frat last Friday (9.12), and I bought a couple of domo-kun shopping bags at Target for $1.49 (I forgot to check for the doll, oops! But I didn’t want to buy it until I settled my job situation, and I need to go back anyway). The bags are awesome (in the trick-or-treat bag section); I definitely reccomend them. I’ll post an image… eventually.

I saw this on the tumblr front page just now.

I don’t like the “nom nom” term. I think I’ve heard it three times in the past week.

Yeah, let’s get Human Player!

I would pay, maybe $5~10 for this, but not thirty (unless I become a trillionare or something). In related news, I just bought a Petite Mushroom Chair (blue) and a All-Sound Catch Cubic Pillow (navy). I can’t wait for them to arrive~~ my head and back hurt!!

You can “preorder” your own at Strapya’s international page. Shipping’s very reasonable (cough-Play-Asia-cough! Though I have to admit their weekly specials are sweet~).

I just watched an episode of Bones for the first time today, and I was wondering if all TV show photos of targeted criminals on didn’t look a little something like this. Usually in black and white, and the people can either be facing each other (as shown), or in opposite directions.

The photos aren’t even marginally as fascinating as the idea, nor as horrifying.

The 100 most clichéd clichés in pop song titles:

Horrid visualization, but the results are mildly interesting, if not to be expected.
