oh cool, a globe. i can sit above it and pretend i'm a massive giant. well...it also kind of does this
yeah that's right. i got myself a globe lamp people! i have forever been looking for a good quality globe lamp that wasn't plastic but that also didn't cost $300 and up. i finally found that needle in the haystack last week on trademe. i couldn't believe it. start price $175?! i almost went into hysterics. i approached this very cautiously so not to set off a bidding war days before it closed. i stalked my prey and 5 minutes before it closed i pounced with the opening bid of $175. the frantic page refreshing followed. no new bids. ever. closing. closing. closed. mine. really? for $175!?!? holy crap! and this is a real baby too, metal frame and solid wood base, the real deal y'all. wes anderson movies would be so proud of me. the 8-year-old national geographic fan version of myself would be so proud of me. you should be proud of me too. or at least happy! happy camper.
i also did a bit of bargain hunting at the mall en route to my actual destination the supermarket - what's new here? glassons my darling friend managed to find me a good little real leather suede jacket for $200. that's pretty good if you're ask me. especially since i am still unsure if i can pull off the biker jacket thing. bif could do it. but i was always more of a denim jacket girl. but the price tag and this amazing teal/dark grey colour just grabbed a hold of me. what do we think people? the peace sign definitely toughens it up too, don't you think....?
and finally, in this self-indulgent post of mine, is the mention that i FINALLY got my lonely hearts dress. finally is in capitals because this particular exercise turned out to be a lot more arduous and such a huge pain in my ass that i won't even talk about it here there is too much complaining and wtf moments involved. i'm just going to move on from that and be happy with my dress. so happy with it i wore it straight away to justin townes earle last night; which was, by the way, amazing. however while older people at concerts are very cute and adorable, they become a lot less so when they turn around and hiss "shut up" at you every time you mutter a word. not an annoying yahoo (while there was some of that happening around, which is like, ok we're at a gig...) but just a simple, audible "i love this song" to your friend next to you - cue grumpy old person whipping around and hissing "shut up". what? really? go home lady.
