The girlfriend, Miss iammyy, has insisted that she deserves a blog post, so I thought I’d share what happens when we go shopping at Ikea.
To add context, I was looking specifically for this cushion+surface thing for your laptop which helps provide a flat surface to use a laptop on, while providing a cushion for your [...]

I’ve decided that yearly resolutions are pretty much overrated, so I’m going for monthly ones instead, starting with no new clothes in December.
Why? It’s pretty simple.. In November I bought 3 shirts, 7 t-shirts (I think), 3 pairs of jeans, a belt and 2 pairs of shoes. This is quite a lot by my standards!

So Kinokuniya is having another 20% members-only sale, and that means money flies out of my wallet like there’s no tomorrow because I’ve stopped buying comics in single issue format, and buy the collected editions (graphic novels) instead.

Since coming to Kingston, Amazon has consistently impressed me, leading to increased purchases from them.
Whaddya think? Did I overdo it?
I think I may just miss Amazon most of all when I go home.

Almost two months after declaring my desire for more underwear, I finally have very X’Massy underwear:
Now to figure out who/when to wear them for……

This week’s Music Monday is going to be short because I’ve been in bed all weekend nursing a cold and a bad throat, but let’s get to it!
