This rug was the winner, but in a light blue. The moroccan windows one was wool and very very rough and scratchy. The jute one feels like walking on a foot massage. AND it was on sale for $70. Between that and the amazing tax return I got this morning (I was sure I was going to have to owe) I felt certian I was going to be hit by a bus on the way home. AND I WASN’T.
I never want to talk about rugs again, thank you.

One of my legs on my cheap little tripod came unglued last night. The Joby Gorillapod seems like it might be a good replacement

This is the rung that may have won in Powder.
Much less daring, but in my price range and the right blue (my color palate changed when I realized I really don’t want to swap out my duvet cover right now).
I’m also picking up some orange sheets from there. AND they are a uPromise partner so I get to bank up some cash for the neiceling.

Here is the $100/square foot rug I love from Weego Home in Santa Monica. Their stuff is beautiful and I’m sure totally worth it. But my cats can enjoy throwing up on a $100 Target rug equally as much as this one.

Wasabi Grilled Tuna Recipe | Recipezaar
We made this last night. It was quick, easy, and absolutly delicious.
If I make it again, I will increase the amount of wasabi in the sauce and/or decreas the amount of mayo.

Desk with computer and lamp! Whoo!
Goodbye ugly red couch! Hello wrinkly, but vastly better slipcover!
New chair to replace Awesome Chair. Must sort of contents of Awesome chair, which is currently on my bed.
This is all for now. Laundry and Awesome Chair sorting time.

only because I’m lazy. Sure clean lines, and simple shapes and lots of whitespace are lovely.
And only take 20 minutes to do.

On Saturday I apparently inflicted some nerve damage to my hand by walking too quickly out of my bathroom and slamming the fleshy part between my left thumb and forefinger into the doorknob latch. I thought I was going to die for about 20 minutes and then was fine, no pain, no bruising, no swelling.
Until this morning.
If I touch my wrist (funny, I didn’t hit my wrist) it feels like I’m being electrocuted through my left pointer finger. There is throbbing pain between my second knuckle on that finger and my elbow.
Awesome.
If it doesn’t ease up tomorrow I will try and give Kaiser, my new HMO, the Costco of health coverage, a call and pick a doctor and possibly try to see him or her. Or I will just take some more vicodin and hope it goes away.
I did get the boyfriend to come over and put my computer back in place and make me pity-grilled-cheese though. The desk looks good!

edit: I did all of these things except the curtians and the angle aluminum, which I may not bet getting since its kind of prohibitivly expensive. We’ll see how my tax returns go. I also kept both green chairs, but am getting rid of the Philippe Starck Cozy Target chairs.

The thing with the housewarming really comes down to this: I hate people in my space. Its been that way since I’ve been a kid. I’d much rather have some kind of event at someone elses house than have people over to mine. I live in a studio. Its like having a party in your bedroom. The other thing is that I’m not entirely sure anyone would come. And if anyone did, they would really just be mostly Scott’s friends anyway, since I have exactly 1 non-Scott friend. 1-non Scott friend and 2 bosses and 1 co-worker who all live in North Hollywood and Pasadena (aka too far to travel to Culver City).
I’d rather just save myself the stress and dissapointment. So, sorry Maxwell, I think I may bow out of this portion of the Eight Week Cure, as much as I’d like to make pretty invitations.

I painted the desk.
I’m am being thwarted in my search for 3 inch angle aluminum. Soon, though. I can feel it.
I was also very sad to find out that I can’t use FLOR as an area rug on carpet.
Here’s what else I’ve been up to this week.

Why? Why won’t you send me my W2? Are you going to try and screw me by saying I was an independant contractor? Were you paying me under the table and cheating me out of my salary? Or is it lost in the mail, like my pesky last check.
Why are you being such a douche about this?
