items on my sister's wedding registry



$170 trash can
$369 mixer
$99 salad bowl (yes, a $99 salad bowl)
$62 bucket

all of her friends are either students or medical residents making bupkis. this is some funny shit.

okay, so i can afford that stupid trash can, but it's A FUCKING TRASH CAN. you put RUBBISH in it. stuff you don't want. crap you want to discard. it stinks, and occasionally, liquids from rotting food seep out and cover the bottom in a layer of putrid crust that even lysol, clorox, and drano can't conquer.

i'm going to get her some tableware. this is ridiculous! =P

Rice, one of the the "Queer Eye" guys, owns a $300 toaster. It's the subject of an entire article.

today's word of the day is oyioisu, which is oirat for "used espresso grinds".

i am the queen of the "pull the futon frame off the street and use it as my bed frame" method of home furnishing.

i move a lot, and i don't want to feel like i have to go through an ordeal every time i move. my motto: grab people's junk and then junk it in a year. getting nice furniture in a rental property is asking for trouble. my girlfriend has these mega-hefty $2000 couches that she's afraid the movers are going to stain/damage/cough on/get cooties on. i'm like "what the 2#!$@#@$ were you doing getting expensive couches in an apartment you know you're moving out of in a year?!"

but i guess i can understand if someone who buys a home wants to get nice furniture/appliances. i still wouldn't get a $170 trash can though. but a high end home entertainment system? oh yeah! mos def!
