bling

I spent most of today at the dentist UPenn Dental School. 

The good part is that having gold teeth is kind of awesome, and they feel so slippery and weird in my mouth.  New/fresh/whole.

The bad part is that there was supposed to be another more, but they dropped it down my throat.

I'm not going back.
Real dentists from here on out.  Peace out, Clinic.

deer hold

I have a problem with either holding onto too much stuff, or getting rid of too much.  (Not so much the second part, because now that I'm thinking about it, there's not anything ever that I feel sad I got rid of.  Which is motivating and informing my choices this month, as we move).

ANYWAY, I kept holding onto this backpack.  For years now.  I always thought, "That is not my taste.  That will never be my taste."
But it was a gift.  From my dad.  Made from the skin of deer he hunted.

So I kept keeping it.  Since college or something - always tucked away, in a closet, waiting.
And know what?  I'm glad I kept it.  Yesterday I realized that I like it a lot, and I'm going to use it.

Backpack.

salty

Oh, and I also saw Salt, which was the boringest but most explodingest movie I saw all week.

Like, she's a spy, but a good spy, or wait - is she a bad spy?  Everyone is spies!  Kaboom!

The good thing about the movies is that there's just new ones, every week.  So you don't run out.

straps and locks

I have these funny old wooden shoes.  One strap broke.

Someone recommended Superior (at 15 and Spruce), and they fixed it up so quick, and really cheap, and now the old leather is really sturdy.  Like new.   If your shoes were broken, I'd tell you to go there too.

Now that we're exchanging ideas and recommendations, who can tell me where to go to get long hair?  Only one person has made an actual suggestion (which I'm going to investigate), but I'd really like to hear from someone who's had it done someplace in the city! 

Long hair, I can tell you're just around the corner, but I don't know where to find you, or how much you'll cost.  Or if I'll hate you.  But I'm willing to try it out.

100 ways

After a really long time of procrasti-shopping, I finally got this dress.  I mostly feel dumb that it took me so long - this could have been Summer Dress 2008 - present.  It's probably not for everyone, but for me it's like wearing a longer, more complicated version of the t-shirt I wear to bed every night, which is SO COMFORTABLE.

As usual, a begrudging "good job, American Apparel, you did okay, I guess".

Gotta mail these things to someone.
