• Izze grapefruit “sparkling juice” is my new obsession.
• 48 hours without looking at a computer was delightful!
• Target has delivered what Vans and Converse couldn’t do for me – black hi-tops that fit properly! Oh, and they’re less than $6 on sale!

• Receiving a gift of a pair of shoes from Report Signature was so exciting! I have coveted these shoes for almost a year but now that I have them, I have no idea how or when I’m going to wear them! They are so over-the-top! I’m going to be wearing them soon and it’s going to be hot!
• I start my final semester at VCU tomorrow. 2 night classes, one night a week 4-9:40pm and it’s all over in May! (Then what?)
• The Desktop Walpaper Projectupdates regulary with new designs. This is what I have on my laptop. (Go to the light little guys!) I can no longer find it on the site so I can’t tell you who the artist is. (click for larger)

• I’m really enjoying this Italian fashion blog!
• I can’t believe it has taken me this long to go to an Indian restaurant but I finally did and well, a Sunday brunch Indian buffet was the best way to go to try a ton of stuff – all awesome!
• Christian Louboutin usually adds a platform to every pair he designs. It’s nice to see these classic peep toe pumps in one of my favorite color combinations. They would be a staple in my spring summer wardrobe. Sigh. I love the delicate vamp and glossiness of this shoe!

• I had a ton of paper dolls when I was little and used to make my own also. Judy Garland, Grace Kelly, movie stars of the 30s, Joan Crawford, and Dolly Dingle were my favorites. These paperdolls by Hopplehase are so clever! So is the Frida set!

• I adore every apartment inspiration picture on this post. This white bathroom also makes me drool.
• Look at this sewing machine! OMG!
• I really like this tableware designed by tattoo artist Paul Timman (for Ink Dish) featuring Japanese Irezumi tattoos. The design placement is what really makes it.

• I realized why Rachael Ray will always be my arch nemesis. She didn’t know what a damned sausage ball was. Seriously? (Have you seen this woman stand up from a sofa when she’s wearing a dress?)
• Insomnia.
• Branford Marsalis tells us that students today are full of shit. I can’t help but agree, being the oldest student in my classes for the past few years, I can attest that he’s dead on. The video clip is short and sweet, from Before the Music Dies.
• If you’re going to sell a t-shirt with a printed design for $30, maybe you should make sure the design actually lines up with the collar on both sides so it doesn’t look like it was manufactured by the blind. Urban Outfitters needs to step it up with quality control.

UPDATE on a big god damn negative: Well, it looks like I’m a complete idiot who can’t even read a calendar because I sincerely thought I was starting Spring semester tomorrow. No. My two classes started last Wednesday. Now, this boggles my mind since I would NEVER schedule a class when LOST comes on. I have no idea how this happened. So, in a massive panic I downloaded the syllabus for each class. History of the Middle Ages is fine. The books haven’t even come in yet so I ordered them on Amazon like the teacher told us to. I haven’t missed a thing. History of Architecture was a whole different ball game. At the top of the syllabus in bold letters, it said that if you missed the first class, you would be lucky to pass the class with a D because he held a full lecture and gave a quiz which cannot be made up so, I already started with a ZERO. Oh, and the add/drop dates ended yesterday so, I will have to beg and plead to not have to pay for this class I am no longer in, and I can’t enroll in another class this semester which means I will have to take a summer class which means I won’t be graduating in May. I think I’m going to curl into a ball and cry myself to sleep after I vomit all over the place. FUCK!
