Because
goldfoilpeople were asking:
by Belinda Peck (small shoe boutique in Carrillion arcade)
$250, handmade Italian leather. They only make one pair of each size, which makes me feel pretty special. I know they were incredibly expensive, but I view a good pair of boots as kind of a lifetime investment. And I am in love with them.
Also, they are very light and comfortable!
So we may as well theme this post as:
~Neat Things I Have or Want Because I am A Terrible Capitalist Consumer of Doom~
Like basically everything on
Monsterkookies' etsy. Clockwork anatomically correct heart necklaces! RAINBOW CAKE CHARMS! BRAIN CUPCAKES!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmwant.
Also
AMAZING DINOSAUR-BONES NECKALCE OF AMAZINGWant so hard unf.
If they had a stegasaurus, I probably would have bought it by now.
And really cool designs of..... things! From memory, I think they all had to be inspired by the environment or something. My favourite is probably this:
lightbulb pot plants!♥
There are lots of other neat things though, like lightshades and pencil things.....
And a ~
great review~ of
Joey Comeau's One Bloody Thing After Another.
Which is (for those who missed his original internet release) also being run two chapters at a time over
here (chapters 13&14).
I wanted to buy this book (actually, I also wanted to buy it as a gift for someone!) but STUPID SHIPPING. The book itself is really cheap, but shipping is $30 (from Amazon, which I think is the only place that carries it?) which bumps a small purchase up to $60. No can do ºxº
I really want to support Joey Comeau though, because he is super amazing!
When he writes the third story in the Lockpick Pornography series, I will definitely be buying all three no matter what, though.
(One Bloody Thing isn't part of that series, btw).
Day 26. A song that you can play on an instrument
The three songs I used to be good at on piano and knew off by heart:
BT theme from .Hack/sign (which I've only see the first four or so episodes of)
A Whole New World from Aladdin
Yoru no Uta from Cardcaptor Sakura - I also learnt all the lyrics, all in Japanese, way back in the day before I started learning Japanese.
Day 27. A song that you wish you could play
lol, everything.
I want to learn guitaaaaaaaaaaaaaar
(um, and maybe ukulele)
Day 28. A song that makes you feel guilty
I would almost feel guilty for skipping Ode to Silence by Kisschasy, but I just can't stand the horrible American accent and whiny voice Darren put on before he realised he could just be himself / incredibly awesome in every way. I'm pretty sure it was only ever released as a demo anyway.
Speaking of Kisschasy, and of things I want, when in the heck will the Fuzz Phantoms release their first song, dammit. Cake is getting impatient.
(I know the answer is August, though).
Anywho,
cheerio, chaps!
