it’s 12:42am, and I’m bored

I stole this from one of my blog pals, Kay. Thanks :)

Anyway, questions:

1. What did you do 10 years ago?

- 10 years ago from today? Oh gosh - I was 14 and just finishing up 8th grade. Maybe this was the summer when my choir sang at Carnegie Hall… I think it was. That was an interesting trip - being a tourist in the city I was born in.

2. 5 items on your to-do list today:

- apply for jobs, buy coffee, go to the gym, call my uncle, and read. My life isn’t too exciting right now.

3. Snacks I enjoy:

- Recently, I’ve been eating a lot of watermelon. I need to stock up on some next time I’m at Whole Foods.

4. What would you do if you were a billionaire?

- Take care of my family. Of course. Whatever they need, I’d cover. I have a fairly large family, so hopefully I’d have some money left after this.

- I would take all of my closest friends on a trip to wherever. Basically, we’d hit up every continent.

- I’m definitely into the house renovation thing - I’ve always wanted to do something like that.

- Pay off grad school loans.

- Buy a new wardrobe. and a new computer. and an ipod touch. and a miniature pig. and an awesome loft in New York City to live in…

5. Places I would live:

- Costa Rica; Valencia, Spain; anywhere in England; Washington DC (one day); Hawaii

6. Bloggers I am passing the challenge onto are:

Whoever feels the need to answer these questions. Go for it, ya’ll.

random post 1: I need more wigs

I only have 2 wigs and I need more.

Check me out:

I forgot to smile.

I bought that wig a few years ago when I decided I wanted to be a witch for Halloween.

And then there’s this one:

I’m sorry it’s blurry… (and I didn’t smile again).

I got this one last year - for Halloween, of course - when my roommates and I decided we would be the 3 stages of Britney Spears. I was the final stage, when she was kid-less, single, and wore a pink wig. Ha.

I really need to expand my collection… just for fun.

when I get bored

If you couldn’t already tell, one of my favorite pastimes is exploring DC (and taking random pictures). Today was no exception - I was in the middle of writing a paper, then felt the urge to go to U Street.

By the way, I was just there last night. And last Thursday.

But first, I had to get some coffee from

Actually I wanted to come here to see a couple of ex-Murky Capitol Hillers, Anne (A-bo) and Reggie (they migrated here for jobs after Murky’s big seizure). Luckily I found Reggie, but no Anne.

After downing my iced latte and super delicious oatmeal raisin cookie (costing me over $5) in under 5 minutes, I made my way to U Street to 3 of my favorite stores in DC:

Go Mama Go!

Home Rule, and

Pulp (my favorite of the 3).

I absolutely love this store. It has the best variety of cards I’ve ever seen. They also have a lot of quirky things…

Yeah.

Despite my urge to buy these lovely Mexican wrestler heads, I left with only 2 cards.

And that was the end of my homework break.

another random one

are they making out?

One of my roommates got me these salt and pepper shakers from Venice. I know they’re also sold in several places online, but these are special (they’re Italian). Thanks Beth!

Anyway, they’re supposed to be hugging, but every time I look at them I can’t help but think that they’re making out. Except, who would design salt and pepper shakers that “make out” with each other? (Not that hugging salt and pepper shakers are the best idea either, but still…) I can’t bear to separate them, mostly because they look like little leaning ghosts.

So yeah, I can’t wait to start using them in my new apartment (which is 3+ months away). I’m sure they’ll be a good conversation piece.
