stuff and nonsense

Ten random objects around the house:


Bought these silicone splatter screens from QVC. They are very useful. Use them for microwave reheating all the time and also substitutes as pot lids. They are not so great for oven baking though - I used the large one to bake frozen eggrolls, and it got stained.


I just tried this yesterday, and it is surprisingly yummy. Got it from Target for $1.50.


Acquired from an Ikea trip in December. These musician animals were only $1 each. They are kinda old-fashioned to me. I actually bought them for a little girl I know, but I haven't had a chance to see her, so they are on my bookshelf for now.


Flowers on their last days. Fresh flowers are purty...


My Vitamix is a total splurge, so I try to make use of it every week and not let it become another one of those appliances that just stays in the closet. I like the clean-up better than other blenders I've had. I just put a drop of dishwashing soap and let it blend. I've been making banana kiwi soymilk smoothie - so yummy.


This is my collection of Buy-Ten-Get-One-Free cards in my wallet. I have not been able to cash any of them in yet.


Chi Young and I are rewatching Buffy from the start. So awesome. Makes me appreciate SMG and Joss Whedon all over again. We just finished season three.


My new Dr. Dre Beats earphone. The bass is heavy. I like the cord since it doesn't get tangled like all my other earphones.


Postcard from Adam from Afghanistan. I asked him to find me one, and he delivered. I think this might be the hardest-to-come-by postcard I have.


A miniature chair made by a homeless guy who used to hang out on Howard Street near my old office. Miniature chairs rock. Talented homeless guys rock.
