After spending upwards of 12 hours researching luggage last November and probably another 12 hours over the past few days, trying to figure out whether I wanted to buy a $50 carry on or spend up to $150, I finally realized that the 22" $150 would probably be too big and that I should get a 20" carry on. Lo and behold, I was able to get the 20" version of the 22" for $110 on discount, and it's a HELL of a lot better than many of the $90 options I was looking at, everywhere from Target to TJ Maxx to Nordstrom Rack to Macy's to eBags.

Behold, the Travelpro FlightCrew 4 20" Rollaboard, literally a perfectly designed piece of engineering.

Clip-in bangs. One of my wigs suffered an unfortunate hack job when I tried to trim its bangs so I'm hoping these will conceal some of the damage. :saddowns:

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
I don't normally do pre-orders this early but Del Toro said there's going to be about half an hour of extra footage and hilarious amounts of making-of stuff on the blu-ray, so welp. (Movie poster since the actual blu-ray cover isn't available yet.)





Also, because I love the artists who Del Toro works with, the artbook.

A gopro hero 2 motorsports edition, cause I need videos of all these twisties :unsmigghh:

Also extra mounts, cause I got the gopro off CL and it was missing the adhesive mounts and the directional pivot.



It works loving great, and I got a really good deal on everything. :toot:


Oh right, also a new helmet

My ZeroLemon battery isn't working out for me. I swapped back to my original battery to confirm, and the ZL one is definitely ruining my mobile signal somehow. So I'm sending it back, and so I don't have to worry about my phone dying while I'm out, I'm replacing it with this:



An Anker Astro3E 10000mAh power bank. It costs more or less the same, so I'll about break even when the refund for the ZL battery goes through. They're making as difficult for me as possible, so a word of warning if you want to send your battery back after you've had it for more than 30 days: do not wait that long.

I have one of these - it's pretty great except for the little curly usb connector that it came with. It's pretty loose in the usb connector on my phone (no other usb connectors are like this so it's definitely the anker one being lovely).

It's commonly used in the making of bombs by terrorist groups, as it's cheap and reliable. I've also heard even buying one can put you on a watchlist, but I'm sure that's just a myth.

Nice! I have an E90 328i sport/premium, and previously had an E46 330i sport. Loved both, and I can only imagine the new ones have gotten better. I'm probably going old-school with my next car though - looking at a 2003 540i 6sp M-Tech.

I picked up a set of two Stool_ONEs by Konstantin Grcic for Magis at 50% off. I don't have any room for them at the moment so I'm letting the store continue to use them as displays. You could say my furniture addiction has gone beyond the saturation point.



I have a tall, round Burdick Group table hiding in another building around town that I plan to pair them up with.
