The Potty Putter



ummmm... maybe? Just watch the commercial. Even the guy trying to sell it doesn't sound impressed.

[hey Emily this is Leann. I just edited the post and added a necessary visual. I hope you don't mind!]

On things that will not be in our room.

Alright. I just want to cover some things that I will NOT allow in Douglass 208



Article 1: Twilight Paraphernalia.

Yes, it's true. I will not tolerate posters, perfumes, cutouts nor Christmas ornaments bearing the faces of the teenage-beloved characters of said novel to infringe on my abode. They are allowed to inhabit a small box outside of the room labeled: filth.


Article 2: Anything less than 3" heels.

We all know how sexy shoes can be. Honestly, when I'm feeling really down I go to Shoes.com and look at all the heels, imagining how hot/ridiculous I'd feel if I could walk around sporting those snakeskin pumps. Thus, if heels are to be worn, they must be as AWESOME as Barney Stinson. None of those one-inch fuckers. (this was the best part to write cause I got to search for good pictures of shoes - it was awesome)


Article 3: Rabbits.

"Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes, They've got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses. And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?"
~Anya

She has got a point. I just wanted to take this time to express how FUCKING CREEPY these stupid animals are. This picture is my exhibit A. If I saw this thing I would not pick it up, I would scream and kick it. It would then attack me and you wouldn't find my body until my gnawed-on skeleton was found in the swamp. You guys have no idea. No bunnies. Not in my living quarters. Because then they will become my deathbed.


And also...although we are not as RIDICULOUSLY STUPID as the woman in this video, apparently cats and rabbits don't go together very well. Okay?

I love lamp

Um, I love IKEA. And this lamp.
And this lamp.


















It's just so fricking whimsical. And cheap ($5). I love IKEA.

Floor rugs

I was at Goodwill some weeks ago and saw a little boy carrying a road map rug. You know, the rugs that decorate kindergarten classrooms:
Pretty sweet, right?



Something I did not know: rugs are expensive! What's up with that?!
This shag rug from IKEA is $80. Another at Target is $76.
But shag rugs feel so nice and comfy...

This rug from Urban Outfitters is on sale for $50. The material looks kind of cheap, but the pattern looks really cheerful and pretty! It could brighten up any room.Another rug from Urban Outfitters ($40) looks really old school and the pattern is interesting and distinctive. It's my favorite so far:

Again, the pattern looks kind of cheap, like thin cotton. BUT we can always get a rug/floor sticker thingy. And unlike the white shag rug, the black and white pattern won't show stains or dirt as much as something that's entirely white.

Btw, all the rugs are at least 5'x7'.

yaay Barnes and Nobles!!!

I also went on a shopping spree at B&N 'cause they were having a buy 2 get 1 free sale, and so now I can add to our collection of DVDs the ones surrounding this text. :)

iHome

I have an iHome that I just never brought up with me last year, but uh, if we wanna rock the party (Who likes to rock that party? New Zealand likes to rock the party!) I'll bring it and then we can cause lotsa noise complaints and such.

my first suggestion

I think we should get a bunch of baby chameleons. They're so cute! Seriously. And we could hide them places, and they would blend in, and no one would know they were there until we pointed them out. :]

So cute!

Illegality

So I assume that Haley and Leann's room is going to be fairly straight-edge. Emily and I have discussed the brewing of that delightful beverage known as cerveza in the land of mexico. But I say: why stop there?! Let's mix it up with a little absinthe or go classic and make some moonshine.

Sorry if you get tagged for extremely illegal activity Leann...hopefully the authorities will get that I'm kidding...I mean, why make your own absinthe when you can just buy the essence and mix it with vodka?

And if we're going to be abusing substances...why not the animals as well?


And yes, this was not up to the caliber of the normal cat videos, but I try. And it is really hard to find footage of drunk cats on YouTube.

Kiddie Pool

Yes, I am a proponent for getting a kiddie pool. Look at how much fun these kids are having!!! That could be us!! Also, it can come in handy if we ever throw a "white trash pool party." It can also be an interesting centerpiece in our room. As long as we make sure the furniture won't get wet, it can serve as a reflection/zen fountain. Kiddie pools: a service to us all. I'm Leann and I approve this message.

Electric tea kettle

An electric tea kettle has many uses. This one is from Target. Not only does it serve to sustain my tea addiction, but it functions as a water heater for ramen, instant coffee, hot chocolate, oatmeal, and Nora's organic curry soup. I'd give this 5 stars for usefulness!

As Previously Discussed.

I have also been looking at some...wait for it...FOUNTAINS.

I found one for $8 (!) but it's really ugly. I also entered a drawing for a free one! Boy have I been busy! Here goes...

Some pretty tabletop fountains...all of which are out of our price range. So I was thinking, if we're dreaming anyway...why not just go all out?




I think it would really calm our room down...maybe get us kicked out of the dorms or something...

OR since we are both so wonderfully creative and mechanically savvy (right...?) we MAKE OUR OWN - I mean, what could go wrong?

just ponder that question while you view today's video segment:
