Walking to class today, I passed a dumpster. Now, this was no ordinary dumpster. Inside it was... a bookcase. A lovely wooden bookcase painted bright blue. The perfect size. Good condition. No spider infestations or indications of it being used for cult rituals. So... I took it. Yep. I reached into the dumpster, pulled out this lovely bookcase and walked off with it. Mind you, it's almost as tall as me. And much wider. So I looked a fool walking down the street with this thing tucked under my arm. But... it was so worth it. Look:

Perfection. The perfect size, the perfect color and the perfect price (free!). So my method of attaining it was a little shady... so what? I figure if someone put it in a dumpster, I kind of have the okay to take it, right? Anyways. I'm quite pleased with my "purchase" for the day.
And here is the sweater I bought on Monday. It's 100% British wool (which is apparently superior to American wool. Don't know how that could be, unless the sheep bleat with a British accent. In that case, yes, British sheep would be far superior), and I'm completely convinced that there are little heaters hidden inside it. I've never been so warm. I haven't taken it off since yesterday. Mmm... wool.

And of course, it makes me look like an angry librarian. But that's alright, because I'm a WARM angry librarian.
You look like a tired librarian. I like your bangs. You are brave getting your hair cut new country, dumpster diving. Looks like both are a good fit.
ReplyDeleteI am indeed tired. Roommate was at it again last night. :(
DeleteLooks like you need a few more things for your bookshelf. How 'bout a rubber date stamp kit? That way you can check out books the "old school" way...
ReplyDeleteVery thrifty. Someones trash is another person's treasure. I like the picture of your room so we can see your abode. Earplugs on the way.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to get them! Maybe I'll actually be able to sleep for once. :)
