take it off, baby

i wanted to share something intimate with you.


i love getting packages.  

don't you?



i'm quite the sucker for packaging. lovely packaging. it's what i love most about so-called 'luxury items'. it's the effort that is put into every little detail. even the packaging.

even the simplest of packaging...

...when you open it, it gives a slight thrill, just knowing that someone took such pains to ensure the quality and safety of your item.

can you see the craftmanship? lol...can you see my reflection?

i love that bolt. or is it a nut...?



look how lovingly it's wrapped.





this shot was tough. pardon the poor editing.

and this, folks, is....my new baby.

we've only just met.

but already i'm smitten.

we have waited so long to be together.

i'm completely...

...absolutely....

...thoroughly...

...in love.


i think this is the beginning of a wonderful relationship.  do, give is your blessing.

you'll excuse the photo heavy post. i'm a bit delirious right now...only got about 2 hours of sleep. strange how the opportunity to sleep is there, nothing but time...but the urge flies almost as soon as the opportunity emerges.

this is how i'm spending my morning....

new york, i love you.  i really do.  and i love this movie as well.  must be a new york thing...wholly self-absorbed in the city.  makes me feel almost nostalgic for things i have not experienced.  does that make sense?  new york reminds me of a battered shoe: well-loved, well-traveled, well-worn, and beautiful, unique and exquisite in its various imperfections. 

oh shiz...i'm waxing poetic today.  this song makes me want to buy a bunch of kiki de montparnasse and dance around with a cigar. and maybe a top hat. no?

how has the week been treating you?

baby it's cold outside

too wet for outdoor photos. my hair WAS curly this morning. got soaked and after a chilly train ride it looks like this. all kinds of stuff going on up there now.
purchased this philip b conditioner a while ago and have begun using it for my sporadic conditioning treatments:

and am very disappointed with the results. while i didn't pay retail for it, it does absolutely nothing and just sits on the hair until rinsed. damn shame. it costs $46 on amazon. and i DON'T recommend it. it's not even good as a detangling conditioner. i'm going to use it up and toss the bottle as it seems to be absolute crap for my hair. i heard bleak things about the brand but was willing to try it.  will be going back to giovanni and yes to carrots.

in other grim news:

this is the worst film i'v ever seen. i'm furious that i wasted nearly 2 hours of my time on it waiting for the two (STUPID!!!!) female leads to either die or lose their dumbass camera. really, damn shame. it's a ripoff of cloverfield, which i discovered after doing an internet search during this shittiest of shit movies. interminable crock of ass....

in keeping with my abject fury at the course music has taken, i wanted to share this. heard it just last night and fell in love. have a listen:

junk

there is another blizzard today.
mcqueen is being buried today.
had to go to work today.
realized i'll probably need snow boots, after all, today.
got paid/paid all my bills today.
will be going to search for green docs today.
my sis sent me ultrasound shots today.
am semi-bummed today.

will not be doing a lick of f-cking work today. i think i've come to a breaking point with my job. rock and two hard places, lol. all the motivation/positivity i had injected into it is officially gone. i wouldn't mind so much that i had to trek through a foot of snow to get to work, if i actually gave a damn. but i don't. at all. woke up this morning actually upset that i was employed. i mean praise jeebus i've still got dough to pay my bills, but...shit, man, it's taking a toll on my mental well-being. what does one do in a shit economy where even entry-level waitresses aren't being hired, you need a master's degree to be a receptionist, and you've no real marketable (read: résumé-able) skills?
i mean, besides sell drugs.

listening to this. and this.

having a crap week. in a very dark place right now. nope, not my living room. :-)
only tuesday...next week is christmas...week after that is my birthday. again. yeesh.
i swear time flies in accordance with payday. trying to enjoy the snatches in between. but they are so few no matter how many you try to squeeze into every 24 hour period.

obsessed with these 2 songs though. helping me thru it!

Kids Use Somebody

guzzling a veritable jug of wine (yeah a jug) and wallowing in my troubles. tomorrow will be a super-rad day.
anyone start their christmas shopping yet? eep.


are these WHITE ANN D's??
