…get-mad-at-your-father-because-he-volunteers-you-for-work-you-don’t-want-to-do day.
in all fairness, i suppose i could have said no. but that is the problem with parents and people you love, generally. you start feeling like a brute even before the very notion of “no” can take shape in your mind. and so, here i am, doing more free-of-charge translation while working on my presentation for class tomorrow and shopping online for a wedding gift. (i do not dole out free advice on how to multitask.)
but today is also i-found-the-bag-of-my-life day, all thanks to the new love-of-my-life, etsy. i am waiting for the seller to tell me if she will ship the bag to japan, and have been checking my email most religiously for the past 12 hours. why can she not just say yes?? she simply has to sell me that bag. it is destined for me. i haven’t felt that way about a bag for years, and it is quite an exciting feeling. just like having a crush – only better because, hell, money can buy this one. and just in case someone else feels as predestined for it as i am, i will not put up a link to the shop till i find out if the bag is mine. or not. (but that is an unthinkable option.)
i will, however, tell you about the cutest red pair of vegan shoes i saw. vegan shoes! i read those words and immediately envisioned leaf-munching shoes. sort of like the little shop of horrors, with shoes, of course. here they are. but i would need to quit school and work quite seriously for several years before i can afford all the wonderful things i see on etsy. i envy these clever people who can make such beautiful things, and take such beautiful pictures of them. it must be much more fulfilling than studying tv.
it rains tomorrow, and likely for several days after that. and when the rains stop, fall will come in earnest. i think i am, slowly and painfully, but surely, climbing back out from the ruins of 2009.
