thakoon for target →
target’s new designer go international line is designed by thakoon! i was definitely a fan of this more budget designer collection because most of his stuff resembled what he made for the runway! i went a little crazy and bought a bunch of his stuff, i might go back and buy more.

Numb3rs - CBS.com →
i have been so obsessed with this show. i realized that there are so many great shows on CBS (and by great i mean crime/law shows) that i haven’t ever seen because… well, i usually don’t think of CBS as a channel with good tv. but it is! and i’ve been watching numb3rs non-stop during my winter break. i’m currently finishing up the 2nd season and there are 5 seasons...

top 10 artists of 2008

procastination
i’m finally going home today for the first time in 8 months. it’s been a stressful/emotional/crazy/happy/sad/fun/adventurous/boring/lazy 8 months. in any case, today is unlike any other in the sense that i am unpacked and my flight is in less than 10 hours. i have to clean my apartment, god knows i left it a pigsty during finals week.
bay area, see you tonight!
five days til christmas
the christmas countdown has probably begun long ago, but it hasn’t felt real til my calendar said december 20th now that it’s half past midnight. i swear yesterday it was december 3rd or something.
in any case, i need to start working on my new years resolution list and with that, [the ex-boyfriend] has requested a list of everything he does that upsets me/annoys me so that he can...
becoming wasteless
so in an effort to save money, spend less, and waste less, i’ve decided to cut back on my spending. i’m not going to become a freegan like those pictures i’ve just posted. but i’m going to try to take a page out of their book and be less wasteful. only buy what i need, be frugal, etc.
my goal is to spend an average of $25/week, altogether spending less than $100/month....

i don’t know why i’ve been reblogging on this blog, because i normally wouldn’t do that. i’m a bit of a control freak when it comes to organizing my digital life and unfortunately tumblr won’t let me move the entries over to my other tumblog.
a few new people have started following me, so for all future reblogging and internet finds, follow my other blog. most of...
