I am on a major eBay bidding frenzy (again). This time it's for slipcovers (for sofas and chairs) and dishes (I was aiming for just dishes, like, plates and bowls, but then I realized how extremely lacking in cups/mugs/glasses I am, so now it's that plus Pyrex Vision Ware cooking stuff -- they ROCK!!!). I just won some major bedding (the millionth comforter I don't need, pillow coverings are always important, high thread count duvets have been a goal for a long time), so until I decide if I want to have a single/twin size bed or double/full size bed, I am not looking at those any longer. Once I decide I can figure out if I need new sheets (for the double/full) or a matress pad (important for these mass produced and used campus apartments).
Speaking of cups/mugs/glasses, during this last year I bought 3 sets of 6 small plastic cups/tumblers (pink, purplish blue, and blue) (or was it sets of 4?). (Each set cost $1.00). I currently am in possession of only 4 cups total. There are a couple pink ones, and a blue and a purple, I think. I do not understand where the rest went. I also purchsed a set of 4 crystal wine glass type things. I only have 1 right now. Only one of them broke, so where are the other two? (Ben probably knows).
Anyway, the bedding is easy to find new, but the dishware and cookware is harder. Nonetheless, I will find great deals. GO ANNI. I adore the cranberry colored pyrex dishes... so I'm really loving things like this. I'm aiming for pots and pans with no teflon, though.
Oh, and these dishes are awesome! I think so, anyway... There's more in my head to say about this, but I will spare those of you who are actually readin this.
All that said,
the other recent events are:
• Took a trip to Maryland and then New York. We left on the 5th (Thursday) and returned on the 9th (Monday). Our lease ended on the 8th (Sunday), so we moved out before we left.
It was a mess. I feel terribly for Jiayi (commonly known as the 5th roommate) because not only did he stay up all night to help me move my ridiculous amount of shit home (see eBay), after we left, he was stuck with throwing an assload of stuff away. Emily and Brian (the other two roommates) also left on the 5th (Emily returned on the 8th to work on the 9th) for Pennsylvania (to Carnegie-Mellon [sp?] where, coincidentally, my cousin has also chosen to attend school, although Brian is PhD in CS). Ben and I (or maybe just I) will be giving portions of our deposit to him.
• See pictures of the trip: MY pictures (meaning from my camera) | SEANEMMY pictures (taken by both Sean and Emmy on Emmy's camera)
• So, about the mess at the apartment,
We went to go look at the place a couple nights ago. This is what we saw in the parking lot: I'll just link you. We spotted things from our apartment. It rocked.
I apologize that my pictures are not in a pretty little album format. I guess I could either ask Sean for his code, (I think Gavin wrote some code too), or I could write my own, but fuck that. I will put it in fotki later on and link it again so that it will be significantly easier to look at. In the mean time, look at them anyway.
• Last Wednesday I got my second salon haircut in my life. I took some pictures myself, but I'm too pressed for time and lazy to get them off the camera. In the meantime, THESE pictures from the SEANEMMY collection of the trip show the hair pretty well. They're probably better than anything I would take myself (makes sense).
oh my god i have to go
I LOVE YOU
