Things I have an irrational love for...
1 - Magazine stands at the airport. Why can they provide such an array of options that I cannot find at Barnes and Noble? There are no shortage of magazines in my life, in fact I am a far more prolific magazine reader than I am book reader. Everything from obvious choices like beauty or travel to geekier ones like the economist or wired. The point is, I discover a new one every time I am at the airport - I just love it that there are so many choices *and* that they are arranged in a whole wall of fabulousness. Not overlapping like at Borders.
I am, however, amazed at the boldness with which men will buy porn at airports. It is like they think they are totally anonymous which is totally untrue. You *know* they are going to run into their mother-in-law or wife's bridge club partner at some point.
2 - Office Supplies. This is well documented, of course, but I discovered some new luggage tags at seejanework.com that I cannot live without. This is not technically an office supply, but I am stretching to include it anyway.
In related news, I purchased a portable projector. How awesome is that??? I never dreamed would think that this was fabulous, but it is. I would like to just project everything on the wall at all times. Also, it comes in a cute little bag that is almost purse like. This is very exciting Almost as excited as getting....
3 - My newest purse. It is the Louis Vuitton Knightsbridge. I haven't had a new treat like this in a long time. It is fantastic. I have to say I never loved the Damier pattern, but the shape of this was too too much to deny, and once I found the RED SUEDE LINING - this is not a typo - I was hooked. Where has it been my whole life? I realize this is an inanimate object, but I love it anyway. Let me say it again - RED SUEDE LINING. This is going to be a collectors item for sure.
Things that I dislike a disproportionate amount.
1 - The TSA. I know they are just doing their job and believe that they are keeping us safe, but there is such an air of superiority and entitlement that some of them exude I want to just throw a drink at them. I know that I should blow it off - it is a 5 minute exchange, which is a small price to pay for what is bound to be an awesome vacation, but it still ticks me off anyway.
2 - Slow cashiers. I don't know what is wrong with me, but when someone is taking too long to ring something up it is all I can do to restrain myself from jumping over the counter and handling it personally. Really, in the big picture of your whole day, what is an extra minute or two - or more likely 20 seconds...I have an irrational reaction to this situation in my head. I believe I am successful in concealing it to the general public.
3 - Slouchy purses. What is uglier, seriously, than some hobo bag that is schlumpy looking. Maybe one with fringe or made of metallic leather. That is uglier. I do love it that Wikipedia has an entry about hobo bags, with a fabulous photo to illustrate.
