Monday’s suck.

The client sends me an issue:

“This is a bug. Very hard to reproduce, root cause still unknown. Please fix.”

Seriously?

I remedy my shit Monday with this video. SO HILARIOUS. And I’m going to go home and attempt to attend a yoga class…. and then drink a lot.

Also, my friends are wonderful and uber talented - I was reminded of that this weekend :)

Random Musings.

- I have spent a ton of money buying books for my Kindle. Damn the convenience of buying books over the air!

- However, I had to ride the subway for at least an hour of my life yesterday and the Kindle kept me company - I was able to read various books with a click of a button. It kept me occupied while I tried to avoid the crazies.

- Oh help me, I hate side plank. It’s so hard! And my yoga instructor made us do it twice last night. TWICE.

- I normally don’t rock patterns, but I am looking for a dress/skirt/shirt/scarf/anything with roses on them. I feel like roses and lace are my new loves.

- Cool/geeky conversation at the office (if you can figure out what we’re talking about, bonus points!):

Dude-A: “In just 9 years, we’ll have Nexus Sixes.”
Dude-B: “And that’s a Nexus One!” *points to device Dude-A is holding*
Dude-A: “No. This is not an Android. It runs Android.”

- It is girl brunch this weekend! And I am SO EXCITED.

- I am wearing these booties today:

And let me tell you - they are as uncomfortable as you would imagine.

New toy!!!

c/o Boyfriend. I luuuurve it and am finding myself so excited to read!

Ontario cellphone ban.

Bangs are alright.

I have had virtually the same hair style for the last… however long (with the exception of a 6-month stint testing out short hair - bad idea all around). So, in the spirit of new beginnings, I opted for a heavy full fringe a few weeks ago.

It’s intense. A lot of hair going on.

Sometimes, on the subway, I stare at females and their long flowy hair and their side-bangs or no-bangs and miss my old less-maintenance-required hair (who knew blowdrying and straightening my bangs every day would be such a damn hassle).

And then I saw Chanel Spring 2010 Couture collection.

Outside of the huge bow-like thing going on in the back, I am relieved that someone else is rocking the look. A whole runway show of my hair-peers!

And the dress? Gah-geous. I wonder what the dress would look like on a more curvier individual?

Also, the Boyfriend & I will be celebrating our 4-year anniversary in a few weeks. FOUR YEARS. That’s a long ass time. He already surprised me with his gift which was the most thoughtfulgifteverrrrrr. I have already purchased supplementary items that go with said gift in my excitement! He is a doll :)

A designer failed me.

I recently purchased an amazing Robert Rodriguez black cotton twill skirt (with black satin piping detailing) and I loved it. It fit perfectly, and the piping detail really accentuated curves - I probably would have said that it was my perfect skirt… except for the fact that after trying it on at home for the second time, the zipper seams pulled apart, leaving a big gaping hole.

Sigh.

At first, I had 2 options: a.) save the garment by sewing the zipper back to the skirt or b.) exchange the skirt for a non-defective one.

Then, I realized why I was so peeved - I paid a pretty penny for this skirt! Way more than I feel comfortable saying. Luxury is lost when designer pieces (that are known for their quality) falls apart after barely any use. Sure, my bum takes up a bit of room, but c’mon. Seriously?

Knowing my luck, I got the one piece that was defective, and all the rest of the skirts are military-grade. But I am not willing to take that chance. I returned the skirt and am now happy with a BCBG second-skin-type skirt (that I assumed would be incredibly uncomfortable, but they are so very much the opposite - they are the most comfortable skirts EVERRRRRR).

Also, they do not have zippers.

I needed to get this out of my system because it stirred my pot last night… I hope I’m not jaded!

Project 365: Magic mouse!

I recently snatched a Magic Mouse - multi-touch technology in a mouse. I am 75% sure I am returning this, though - I have come to love the trackpad that my lovely laptop comes with. I love gestures!

I have also decided that not every Project 365 photo warranted a blog post, so I am only going to post them once in a while - but if you are interested in seeing all of them, you can check out my Project 365 Flickr set.

Oscar is a genius!

My favourite dress from Oscar De La Renta’s Spring 2010 RTW! I want
it :(

Now THIS is how you wrap a parcel…. took me at least 10 minutes to cut all the tape away to open the box.
