i love this stuff

trunk

so i got this yesterday at the thrift store. do we have room for it, not really but i think it's super cool. kiko said why did you get it? i said because i think it's worth a lot more then they were charging. . . and it's really cool. i'm going to have to find a book about antique trunks because there isn't much info online but i think it might be a saratoga trunk. i think it probably would have has some info on the lid where there is a peice of paper missing. . . maybe that was for who it belonged too. . . . it smells like moth balls!

In the late 1870s a large fancy round top trunk became popular, because it was used by the wealthier people visiting the spas and racetrack at Saratoga Springs, New York. The Saratoga Trunk was a very large, domed top style with fancy trim, covered in either leather or metal. Early trunk catalogs and ads describe Saratoga trunks as a "large round top of the highest class". Round top trunks (also called humpback, camelback, monitor top, and barrel top) were made in a wide range of sizes and coverings. It is believed that the round tops were made for those who wanted to try to have their trunk packed on the top of baggage cars, so they would not be damaged.

fyi kiko

when it's time to upgrade. . . i love me some raw stones. . .

there was the funniest joke about diamonds on parks and recreation:

Tom Haverford:

There isn’t a woman alive who doesn’t love diamonds. Even the super left wing chicks who saw Blood Diamond and cried. When they get a diamond, they like, “yeah, bitch, get more of them blood diamonds. Make ‘em extra bloody.”

i don't know if that translates as well in written form but it was funny

zero 7

had a great time last night at zero 7. my friend that works at the ogden sent me a text that he could get me on the list + 1, i already had bought a ticket for myself. i was afraid i wouldn't even be able to give away tickets but my buddies andrew and andrew rallied.

andrew goes to steuben's for there $5 burgers so after the show we headed over. they were having a fund raiser and toy drive. we got free drinks and yummy home made foie gras pigs in a blanket. i bought a bunch of raffel tickets, they had some great prizes i was hoping for the $300 tattoos at sol, but did end up winning $25 to happy noodle house which is in boulder, we'll have to make a trip. . .

then we headed to nob hill, the diviest dive on colofax, i'd never been for last call. . . . it was pretty magical!

bebel

i went to see bebel gilberto last night, all by my lonesome. i realized going to a concert alone is actually pretty fun especially if you came to listen to the music. it was a good artist date, except it was VERY short, i got there at 9:15 and it was over my 10:30. . . at least i was pretty well rested for my meeting this morning! she was very cute and i will have to get her new album too. . . it's great.

i got myself ticket for zero 7 monday if anyone wants to go.

muppets

so kiko let me know jason segal is writing a new muppet movie! this is a promo. . . pretty funny.

it's been a while, i've felt a little outta sorts. . . need to find balance. . .

got an amazing facial from my friend cadee yesterday. my brows are perfect and my face is lovely. a step in the right direction. . . epsom salt bath and fell asleep while reading this

thanksgiving

well we're not making turkey. . . we're making tamales! i'm kind of bummed we'll be alone but guess i just didn't get it together this year and everyone made other plans. not that i don't love kiko and palmer but was hoping to be able to get together with other people and celebrate. . . maybe next year. it's been a stressful week, i'm going to have to work friday since i had to let someone go and no one could cover it. i worked all day today, not very used to that. . . kiko's out tonight with friends. i'm looking forward to tamales though! i might buy a turkey friday and cook it saturday if they are on sale though, i do like turkey.
