Wish List - Bath Robe

Item # 2 - Bath Robe

I would like a bath robe, just a plain one; it doesn't need to be fancy, I don't care if it's white or a solid color but I would prefer that it not be patterned.

Here's an example of one like I like from Bath and Body Works:

Wish List - Tawny Acre Boots

I've decided that I'll create a wish list section of this blog, posted randomly whenever I find something that I think I can't live without or that I just want.

Anyways, here's items number one:

Tawny Acre Boots by Anthropologie
At $248, they are pretty pricey, but if you can get five or more years out of a pair of quality leather boots, you can make up for the initial investment.

My Next Day Off

There's no doubt that I've always run my life like a movie in fast forward but I've always had some sort of break before.  I've recently realized that I don't have a single day off without something written in my planner until Thanksgiving; for the next month I will go seven days per week.  Here's about what the schedule looks like:

Monday: Classes from 8 am to 2 pm followed by work from 3:30 to 6:30 pm
Tuesday: Work from 5:30 am to 12:30
Wednesday: Classes from 8 am until 9 pm
Thursday: Work from 5:30 am to 12:30 pm and then from 3:30 to 6:30 pm
Friday: Work from 5:30 to 12:30 om
Saturday: get up at 7 to go to the soccer field and referee until the afternoon
Sunday: get up around 7:30 to go to the soccer fields and referee until early evening

Where does anything else fit?  I don't even know if I could squeeze one more activity in that schedule.  I'm taking sixteen units, so I also have a decent amount of homwork and reading also. At least when soccer season ends, I will be able to reclaim my weekends and get some of my projects finished.  Even though I'm super busy I wouldn't have it any other way right now, as I'm getting everything done and building a nice savings account by living with my parents.  It'll totally be worth it when I go to Europe or travel for a semster when I finish Butte!

Stop-Motion Animation

Two guys, Blu and David Ellis, collaborate to paint and photograph an abandoned building in Italy, then turn it into a stop-motion animation video that's very entertaining to watch.

The amount of time and energy that was put into this is absolutely incredible.  Sometimes I wish that I had the creativity and patience to make a video like this one.  (Well, I might have the creativity, but not the patience)  More people should realize the amount of effort that goes into creating art, I feel more people would appreciate it.

Enjoy!
