Ikea time
I really like Ikea. Smart designs with space and money on the mind. I had their $1.99 breakfast today (they have a .99 breakfast too!). It was a little gross, mostly the eggs, but for 1.99, I could eat it.
Ikea’s been having a sale for the past month and today I was looking for mattress covers. Mine is kind of old…and has some…err…blood stains that just didn’t wash out. Their covers are so cheap anyway, mine was $2.99 and it held up through washings for the past 4 years. So I went and they had a sale on the collection of bed covers that is one up from the cheapo collection I have. For 2 bucks more, I get 80 more thread count and a finer cotton. Score! They didn’t have the light pink I used to have…just a maroon color but that’s okay. Adds drama to my room right?
I also saw these cuuuute alligators! Alligator? Crocodile? Eh, I look it up and identify it, and then I always end up forgetting later on. Meh, I’m sure they don’t care what you call them as long as you won’t skin them. I like long stuffed animals for some reason. I feel like I can drag it around with me like Linus from peanuts. I also like it when animals drag stuff around with them, like dogs that get attached to their toy and carry it with them where-ever they go? Too cute.
Reminds me, my friend has a cute jack-russell terrier named Stitch and recently they got him a stuffed pizza to play with. He loves it so much he feels like he must go to sleep with it at night! Once I took the pizza away from him and hid it behind my back. When he rushed over to my back I kept hiding it on the opposite side of me. At one point, he looked at me with frantic eyes and whined at me! A weird sound for a good 5 seconds…like the kind a seal makes as if he was saying “hey you! I don’t want to joke around anymore! Where is it?!?” The skin above his eyes were all furrowed. Oh…how can torture be so cute?
I’ve been eyeing this canvas poster for a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time. It says it’s on sale…but that’s the same price I’ve always remembered it to be. It’s $79.99…a bit pricey for art on my small, bare walls. So instead, I took a picture and I am going to edit it for my purposes > <. It’s not like this artist drew it anyway…probably chopped it from the production poster. My results in the following post about it.
Huntington Library
I went to the Huntington Library today! I’ve been there lots of times, but this time seem more fun than before. My favorite part was the atrium because they have a lot of new exhibits to look at there were more hands-on experimenting. You can smell and feel plants, and look through the microscope!
This is called Redemption. Looks kind of scary!
Haystacks. I really like this picture for some reason. I think because it looks so calm, but inspiring.
I like the colors! Looks like a lot of fun! I didn’t catch the name of this one…
This was actually a bigger picture, but I liked this one part of it.
Koi! I love they way they move their mouth.
What?
Kamiya Dojo! I think of Kenshin when I see this. My house in Sims2 look a lot like this! I’m going to build something like this if I’m ever rich.
The willow is one of my favorite trees. It’s so gloomy and elegant.
I’m sorry for the 7-8 people that were erased from this picture.
This is what it looked like before. Flipping back and forth is pretty trippy. If only it were so simple to remove people in real life…
The Chinese Garden
I saw long hallways like this one in China, but they were about 10x longer.
Sooooo pretty!
I think someone was feeding the ducks even though they weren’t supposed to…
The Atrium ceiling. I want an atrium in my house too.
No, the picture isn’t upside-down. This flower grows that way! Cuuuuute. I don’t remember the name though <: (
I like this kind of space. Large floor to ceiling windows and wood flooring.
Hello Mister Sea Cucumber! You were not very yummy. Mister Peking Duck served me better. At some big Chinese restaurant in Diamond Plaza in Rowland Heights. Found it: New Capitol Restaurant. If you spend more than $30, depending on how many people you have in your party, you get free food. We had 5 people so we got a free 2 pounds of either lobster or Swimming Water Shrimp. We got the shrimp. We actually went to this place for lunch either for their dim sum. It was really good! They had a lot of variety and not too expensive.
Rest in Peace, Pong-Pong
My first and oldest guinea pig died yesterday. <: ( His name was Pong-Pong. It’s chinese for “fluffy”. I’ve had him for about 4 years. He was the most resilient of the guinea pigs I’ve had, who didn’t survive for long. He’s kind of an anti-social piggie who doesn’t like to be touched and is kind of neurotic…but that’s what make him unique! He had this sole swatch of white hair that grew out long and draped over his face, kind of like Elvis. He always made wheeking sounds when he wanted food. His favorites were apples and kale.
Maltese
This little guy looks like a dog my uncle used to have. I need a new category just for animals.
