Items I have been dreaming of recently:
More will follow later.
I’m listening to Modest Mouse We were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. It’s keeping me company as I browse for vintage/thrift shops to visit. A long time ago I ended up in Buffalo Exchange on The Ave. At the time I just thought it was a neat place. Now I keep reading blogs where people have actually bought cool stuff there. It inspired my wish to go back.
I also must make it to Crossroads Trading Co. I need to get shoes for Halloween. I’m going as my favorite Vampire from Buffy. I’ll leave you guessing until the 31st.
On and exciting note Tagtober is coming back for 2009. Once again I’m toying with the idea of shooting instant film. Maybe the best idea is to throw in one or two instant pics and do the rest digital.
Last night we had a lot of fun getting sushi and hanging out with friends. We even met two friends in person for the first time. Then we went to the falls and back to Michael’s packed apt. There isn’t much room inside for the 5 occupants + 1 cat.
After we dropped Tom off in Capital Hill I managed to get about 4 hours of sleep. It was worth it though!
I know I’m a bit behind on things but I just discovered this and Michelle is always so cute.
I must be getting used to the liquid they pass off as coffee at work. I’ve been putting less sugar in. I’m nearly down to a normal (for me) amount.
Music I must get- Death Cab for Cutie’s Translanticism. I heard Expo 86 on the radio this morning and recognized the voice so I looked it up. Guess there is a reason that album is already on my list of vinyl to buy.
I didn’t buy a dress yesterday. I meant to blog about it when we got home but that didn’t happen. We ended up going out to dinner with Ben and Sam instead. We had mexican at Jalisco’s in Kirkland. It was pretty good.
Tonight we went dress shopping. I found nothing. We’re going to try to get to Bellevue Square tomorrow. I found something good looking on Arden B.’s website so hopefully they’ll have it in the store.

I’m busy looking for a dress to wear to Aaron and Amanda’s wedding. Thanks to Andy and Victoria I’ve got more places to look. Good thing there’s a Forever 21 down the street from me. J.P. has said he’ll go with me to the mall tomorrow. I didn’t have to play the it’s my birthday card or anything. He just said he’d go.
Hopefully I’ll come home with something. The dresses are so cheap I might get two if two good ones exhist. Then I’ll have some to just wear places. I have so few good ones now. Well, there are two dresses in my closet right now. I purged a lot of not so good ones when we moved.
I guess the trick is buying ones that aren’t too trendy or strange. Plus I have better style sense now than when I bought most of the old dresses.
If I’m lucky I will get something that goes well with shoes I own. Finding shoes I like is such a long process.
I just fixed the time on this thing. It’s really not the 21st yet.

Forever 21
