It's the opposite of hyper-serious 17-year-old me, who ignored the salesmen's spiels about speed and acceleration and sporty look, peppering them with questions about mileage, maintenance costs, and braking power instead. My car could have looked like a Ford Model T and I wouldn't have cared as long as it got the job done.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Anyway. I will stop being a downer.
Hey guys! I'm shopping for a new dresser! And since I'll be saving money every month on parking, I can splurge on something cool!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
shrift, not exactly dressers as such, precisely, but: the coolest and most beautiful chests/storage thingies I know of.

I am in Newark Airport!
It is more of a shithole than I remembered. And what the hell is with making you go through security again when you change terminals?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh God, I had to do that at...O'Hare, I think, maybe? It was stupid.

That is cool, JZ. I need to do some measuring tonight so that I don't order something too big for the space I have.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Now tagless for your comfort.
The mobile meth lab was actually on a moped. But yeah, my home town.
I just had a sea salt vanilla caramel coated with chocolate and I think I can die happily.

These are probably mondo expensive shrift, but the Straight Line Designs website is fun to browse through anyway.

I have spent a lot of time in O'Hare. This airport is worse than O'Hare.
Flying cross-country in first class, though? Pretty damn sweet.
