took the car in for an oil change today, now it runs so fine. A little tap of the gas in 3rd gear and it jumps 40 to 80, now that’s a happy car. I went to j-town after that to pick up my magazines. I was hesitant to eat there, since bound to have meat in any dish. No…I’m haven’t been convertered to a vegetarian but since I’ve been on a vegetarian diet for a week, it’s only fair that I treat myself to the best that I can afford. So instead of looking for meat, I went to Kiva for some good waffle with fruit toppings and a latte. Man…that was a great brunch. I like that waitress there, she always suggest something better than what I ordered (I was going for just a plain blueberry waffle). Given that I was already in the west side of town, I proceeded to head to Ikea for a casual stroll. That little casual stroll was made into a $50 shopping spree. I got some good mimi shelves to organize all the devices on the other desk. Those little shelves only cost $7 a pop, I will be back tomorrow to get 4 more. (check the photo below). I really want to put the printer in the corner. Oh right, in case you are wondering, that’s my new laser printer. I also got stackable cd holders. While I was at Ikea, I saw these really nice dessert wine glasses that are just perfect for serving my favorite apple ice cider. I didn’t purchase them today as they are a bit expensive ($2.5 each, I was a set of 8 for entertaining friends, which makes it $20 for just 8 of them).
After Ikea, it was just 3ish, still too early to head home, so I went to Vaugh Mills. Didn’t buy a single thing there….not that there’s nothing I want, I just like to have control over how much I spent. I finally saw the Sony NWA805W in person, and now I want one. Yes it’s impractical for someone like me who has either a desktop or laptop with me 24-7, but the size, the design, it’s a piece of art, much better than anything from Apple. If you’ve seen the photos on the web, let me tell you, the real thing looks better. You just have to take in how small it is. Today I also saw Bebel Gilberto’s latest album,…but as I saw, no more spending for the day,…eventhough it only cost $16.99. Anyhow, I took a little break in Vaugh Mills to read my magazines, and now my mojo for design is back. I’m all ready to come up with a design for Saladking.
