Manicured.

         

I painted my nails and now I'm writing a blog post mentioning the fact that I painted my nails. Talk about Gen Why, am I right? I've been feeling inspired by the works of Alexander Calder lately, so I gave myself a ManiCalder. A MobileCure? My ridiculous manicure has an even more ridiculous name. Ridiculous.

I've also been thinking about clocks. I have been thinking about clocks a lot. I seem to periodically obsess over watches and clocks without ever making any kind of formal, ticky commitment. I am the Clooney of the clock world. However, there have been a few lately that I've considered seeing more of. You know, every day. Every day because it is on a wall in my house.

The bare wall.

The Pugg

For some reason, I have this involuntary reaction of BUY! whenever I see the Pugg at Ikea. I want to say that I feel like it has something of an industrial, on-a-factory-wall-in-1963 vibe. I do. Interestingly, I am also getting an institutional, feel-like-I'm-back-at-school-waiting-for-3pm vibe. 

The Epoch

I recently saw this when I was looking for the bowl for the cacti. I liked it, I picked it up, I wrinkled my nose, I put it back. I just don't know. I can't decide. I can't even decide if I want a clock. It's not you, clocks. It's me. (Actually, maybe it is you. Why can I not find the clock?)

Fancy.

Speaking of Ikea, I keep trying to rationalise my desire, my need, to go to and buy about twelve of these little spice jars. I walk past them every single time I go and I don't think I'll be able to resist next time. I'd like to have matching jars to put our tea, coffee and sugar in. I'm sure that must be one of the Fifteen Million Habits of Super Efficient, Stylish Adults.

I know, I know. The cacti are taking over everything.

Oh, you guys. Stop it. Just stop it. Cacti are such flirts. Look at them. Look at them practically glowing with good health and sunlight.

Finally: I'm going on a mini-break this weekend, too (fancy). Hopefully I will maybe stop thinking about clocks and cacti and instead maybe find some amazing perfect teak MCM bedside tables that are really cheap in an op shop in Toowoomba or whatever. Hahaha. Oh, hopes. You so funny and so never going to happen. HahahahahahaHA. Yeah, wish me luck.
