a theme.

I want this blog to have a theme.

So far, all I have is thoughts on themes.

Pretty sure this will be a combination of me decorating my apartment and thrift hunting. There will be many pictures to accompany it.

But for now, it is randomness, as I am feeling random this December. January promises a surge in money and a surge in time.

Thank god for school refunds, and back pay. Woot!

Italia.

I am in talks to adopt an italian greyhound from a family. I have been thinking of his name.

I am probably going to pick up this little fella this weekend, and the name Comet is certainly not going to stick.

That said, here are some names I'm considering:
From Norse mythology, to me, those are perfect for dogs--
Odin, Váli, Nótt
I like Nótt because Comet is black and white, and we'll ignore that Nótt is female. :D

Other possibilities:
Esper
Euripedes, Eurie for short
Claude
Ernest

And outfits are a must! I need to work on it, big time.
Wal-Mart probably has cute, useful sweaters.

Or, Urbanpup.com, if I hit the lottery. :)

I want to ask them if I can just take their things for Comet, since they won't be having him anymore. The crate and sweaters and stuff. If I could take him home this weekend that would be fabulous. I hope they don't try to jerk me hard on the rehoming fee. If so, I will just say I don't think that's a fair price and peace out of the whole thing.

But he's such a sweet heart! They say he behaves badly, though.

C'est tres mal!


Right now, my only issue is that I don't have a car. Tomorrow I am supposed to go meet the fellow for the first time, and I don't know if I will have a ride! My sister's boy should be able to give me a ride, but that's only if she comes back.

Otherwise, I will be taking the bus and enjoying and EPIC walk to their house. I wanted to go home and clean for a bit before I met him, in case they wanted to check out my place first. Here's to hoping they don't ask to pop over for a drink!

music.

oddly, it's midday and I am writing.

when enjoying the free download from itunes today, I noticed that my Top 15 Most Played songs on my iPod are pretty ridiculous.

here they are:
1. you and I both-jason mraz
2. celos-marc anthony
3. donde estas corazon-enrique iglesias
4. I will always love you-whitney houston
5. No One-alicia keys
6. make it rain-fat joe
7. neon-john mayer
8. diamonds are forever-kanye west
9. push-enrique
10. I miss you-blink 182
11. Lollipop-lil wayne
12. te busque-nelly furtado (featuring juanes)
13. lesson learned-alicia keys (featuring john mayer)
14. love song for no one-john mayer
15. slow dancing in a burning room-john mayer

apparently, I really like John Mayer. I knew that, though.

body decor. home decor.

thisisnonsense.

I meant that.

here it is:

I have a strong desire to buy things.


Specifically, silk scarves and soft sweaters.


Also, being androgynous is not fun.Or, it's less fun that I originally thought. The effort it takes to create my gender fiction is getting old.

So oooollllllllldddddd.


I need a new camera, as my previous one has been robbed by a foolish person.I'm considering going for a CoolPix one. Something with at least 8 megapixels, video playback, with sound, and a wide screen. To document this season, it is worthwhile.

Also, I am taking two of my professors again next semester. Score for at least three recommendations now! =P Plus, they are good at what they do. Profesora Valdes better be grateful I'm taking a Saturday class for her! But she's so sweet and reminds me of my grandmother with how strict she is when it comes to her standards. I love it! And Doc Kessel is just a badass for good measure.
And, all As this bit around. Makes me feel semi-capable. ;] Even though I lazed about and took four classes. It was a lovely bit of lazing.

I am listening to Te Voy a Querer, by JLo. =D


I must get some wooden chairs for my house. I've already got one, and another would be nice for next to the dorr to place things on when I get in. I want a rocking chair too, for the living room. One of those old-timey ones that's been used by many bottoms. I need some story furniture in my life. Having mostly brand-new furniture makes me feel funny (everything except bedside table + t.v. stand/food tray are new). I also want to play with colors in my outfits a bit more. My gran sent me some pastel thermals, and I'm thinking of trying them under a few tops with a scarf.
I'd like to see how that looks. Mostly, I want to try things I never have before so I don't get boxed in.
