Speaking of buying things

I was reading about people buying odd things to freak out the cashiers, so I wanted to tell a funny story. The first 100 or so (not that many) condoms I used, I got for free from the health care center. The first time I bought condoms, I was really embarrassed (and incredulous. They seemed so expensive!) so I bought them along with birthday present stuff for my friend, Mike. At the time, I thought I was being clever and that the cashier would just thing I was giving someone a joke gift of condoms, but in actuality, I probably looked insane. I bought a birthday card, a gift bag, tissue paper, and condoms. I wish I still had that receipt.

I want to buy things so badly

I am saving for San Francisco where I am planning to buy everything in the world. I am debating whether to go to Sephora or MAC. I am using up the last of my make-up. The only thing I won't consider buying is mascara, because the kind that I have is awesome and it is the only one that I have never had a bad reaction to. Oh Almay. And it is only like $4.
I can't wait to go to Berkeley and shop at all the cute little shops and buy the cutest things in the world. Though, let's be honest, we all know all my money is going to spent at Cody's, Booksmith, and Rasputin's.
Finally, I am considering getting an account at PersonalCloset.com. It seems like a neat idea and a good way to get designer clothing cheaper. The problem is, of course, that I was raised to believe that only the truly shallow think about things like fashion and the comfort is the most important thing. Whatever. I had hippie parents.
Also, there is this: Prickie. Everyone knows the buttons/pins bought from street vendors are cooler and generally more interesting, but some of the ones on there are really cute. I just don't know what I'd do with them.

I got Skitch

It is awesome, but I am looking for more ways to use it. I made this emo piece of shit. I captured the hearts off a blog I read. I'm going to claim the half border is there to represent something, but really, I forgot the border was there and didn't notice that only half of it appeared until it was already uploaded.

Genius.

Skitch can do cooler things. I promise.

Sixteen Military Wives - The Decemberists

Best video ever.

I want to buy this house. Please donate to the down payment fund.

Thanks.

The Avalanches - Since I Left You

Man, I loved this song for a long time. I'd never seen this video.

There is so much going on

And I am missing all of it. Let's play catch up:
1) Someone needs to make a Flirt Divert for the US. I was going to say "for me" but no one flirts with me and if they did, I am a decent enough person to explain I am unavailable. Unless you're really cute, in which case, I have a boyfriend and if you can get past that, then I am totally available.
2) Maybe I just don't get it, I mean the video is well made (though I haven't seen it before, they can't be the first to say Internet Killed the Video Star) and fun to watch, but the music isn't very good. We'll see. Maybe it'll grow on my like Daft Punk never did.
3) Esquire (the only magazine other than The Believer that I have a subscription to) is the best magazine. Nothing else is ever so consistently and unself-consciously pretentious. It exists in a realm that I couldn't even begin to enter. Anyway, right now, they are doing The Napkin Fiction Project. It is turning out very well. My favorites so far:
Jonathan Ames
Julianna Baggott
Andrew Sean Greer
Millard Kaufman
Joey Goebel

I stole all of this from Fimoculous and just expanded on it.
