Last week I bought this surprise mystery thing on eBay.  It's going to be so cool that I don't even want the internet at large to know about it yet.

It is going to be SO SO awesome, once I figure out the (Korean?) instructions.  You'll be jealous.

bootjack

Here's a post about utilitarian objects.

See this?

It's a bootjack.  

My grandfather made a bunch like a billion years ago, so it was just something I had, you know?  Like the thing you move with, feel oddly sentimental about, but never use.

 
Lately?  Been using it.   Everyone (well, girls I guess - we seem a little sparse on boot wearing boys) should get one and use it.  It might change your life.

Also, I got so sunburned that the only thing I could wear this whole holiday weekend is this dumb dress, which I LOST but Kelly replaced x2 (thanks).

Another product I just discovered moments ago, at the RiteAid:  continuous spray aloe.  Get on it.

I don't know.  Summer.

I've been cleaning out my closet*.

Found this set of pictures on the floor, back behind a box and the can of paint I used to paint my closet and never put away.  Everything is the same, as us(ual).

This one is pretty old, and is from a Philadelphia photobooth that is UNLISTED on the registry!  Secret photobooth!**  

*with far-sighted knowledge of the smaller closet I'll be moving (clothes) into.

caves

Saw that Werner Herzog Cave jawn last night.  It was okay sometimes, and boring sometimes, and funny sometimes.

Now I'm just left with an assignment, where I have to research carbon dating for my overly skeptical movie companions.  It's something I believe in, but don't even know the first thing about.

The bigger the non-blogging window gets, the harder it is to decide what's worth writing about.

Here's some blog post ideas I didn't end up writing:
"The insane TastyKake/Marlboro heist I just saw at the RiteAid"
"The loud and rainy domestic argument on our street I got wrapped up in"
"A review of my gel nails from Boutique"*
"Thrift store scores, good thing I brought my truck"
"Houseboat adventures"
"Calling out a would be bike thief who was trying to pilfer my back-up, and how he apologized".

None of these.  But maybe will start posting some postcards I've been writing to myself, late at  night.

* A+, by the way.
