10 Things I Love, June 2010 Edition

1. Victoria’s Secret’s Semi-Annual Sale
I think anyone can appreciate this. Girls love the feeling associated with wearing cute underthings, that’s a no-brainer. And yeah yeah, guys couldn’t really care less what your bra looks like as long as it’s able to come off fast. But there must be a moment as he’s fumbling with your bra clasp that the thought occurs to him “Wow, this is probably the most cleverly patterned piece of intimate-wear that I have ever had the opportunity to remove from a gorgeous lady. And oh my, those panties!”

2. Brown Sugar And Vanilla scented things
Seriously.
I’m wearing such scented body spray as I type this.
I could devour myself right now.

3. Philip Seymour Hoffman
What with school being out and me having a ton of free time, I’ve been watching a lot of movies. Among these have been Cold Mountain, Pirate Radio, Almost Famous, Along Came Polly, and The Invention Of Lying. Guess what they have in common?
I would love to have lunch with Philip Seymour Hoffman. How has he won only one Oscar? How has he only been nominated three times?!

4. Chess
I spent part of my Sunday yesterday making note cards describing the properties of each piece, and then played game after game after game of Chess on my laptop. At approximately 1:00 a.m. early this morning, I won my first match. Chess is now my new favorite pastime.
And I just found this.

5. Yoga
I’ve been doing yoga at least twice a week for the past two months. My body longs for it if I go too long with out a sun salutation. You know how all those instructors tell you how you can feel the energy moving through your body and all that shit? It’s so true.

6. English Literature from the 1800′s
Even though I enjoy Jane Austen, I’m not talking about her. Right now I’m reading The Woman In White by Wilkie Collins. Some guy is named Percival. PERCIVAL.
This lady (the woman in white) Anne Catherick seeks a little help from a young drawing-master, Walter Hartright. After accompanying her to London in the middle of the night, Walter learns that she was formerly very closely connected with the family he is to be going to with his skills the following day. After they go their separate ways, Walter overhears a man in a carriage asking an officer if he’s seen a woman wearing all white, for a woman fitting this description has just escaped from his asylum.
I’m loving it, so much.

10. Star, Idaho… still
I’m going over again on Wednesday this week, and I’m excited for the refreshing air :3

Nikon will be attending this time!

I recently declared that Google Chrome was my favorite internet browser, but after this article, I’m a little discouraged.

I love Cracked.com
Do you?

I Heart Red Velvet Art

As mentioned in a previous post, I’m an avid follower of Elsie Flannigan’s blog. The lovely lady owns and operates Red Velvet Art with a few friends, an online shop with a gallery currently undergoing a transformation and relocation in Springfield, Missouri.

Check out these cute offerings and then head on over to the site for more and purchasing (:

























Cute cute cute :3
Once again, go here!

And on a sidenote, the man behind my favorite web comic Questionable Content, Jeph Jacques, is making this into an apron and I am so excited:

Don’t get it? Read the comic, or cheat.

I’ll be in Boise all next week!

Thrifty Finds, March 11 Edition

I’m not sure if I’ve ever mentioned it before, but I am an avid raider of thrift shops. After a lovely morning of Mythology and Psychology, I visited my local Salvation Army thrift store. Probably one of the best raids I’ve had in a while. Today I found:

This Awesome Owl Wall-Hanging Duo

As if I don’t have enough things hanging on my walls already :P
I’m getting ready for decorating my new apartment this summer!

A Miniature Aphrodite Statue

It’s a little smudgy right now, but totally fixable. Everyone needs a little Aphrodite in their lives ;)

Some Killer Red Shoes

Just my size. According to the date tag, they’d been there for over a week! I can’t imagine so many people overlooking them.

Cub Scouts Neckerchief

How could I not get it?

This Lovely Apricot Dress

I’m hoping to incorporate this dress into a future photoshoot, something by a river with lots and lots of foliage.

And More Books To Add To My Own Personal Library

A rundown on the titles:
The Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov
The Gipsy In The Parlour by Margery Sharp
The Republic of Plato
A Separate Piece by John Knowles
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn

I hope your day was as superb as mine! All filled with thriftiness, Modest Mouse, The Complete Fairy Tales of The Brothers Grimm, and getting my favorite mug back : D
I’ve had two teachers just this week tell me how much they want it. The teacher whose class I’d left it in yesterday claimed he almost considered taking it.

Tell everyone they’re looking really good today for me,
Dacoda.
