the best fifty-nine cents i spent this summer.

Some people have backseats and trunks. I have the Ikea tarp bag. I got it on my first shopping trip in the city and have used it again and again. I can get on the bus with loads of stuff (like pillows) and it looks (and indeed is) completely controlled and deliberate. Why use five bags when you only need one? This bag kicks the ass of every other bag I own.

i love technology.

So earlier in the week I thought my iPod was broken; fortunately it came back to life. Now my phone is broken-- not mortally wounded, but approaching the "being held together by a rubberband and electrical tape" stage (like as soon as I get home). Be advised that I will probably drop it within the next while and it will come apart and I may be unreachable for a bit.
