If all had gone according to plan, right now I would be in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Vancouver is, hands down, one of my top ten cities globally: it is a place worth visiting incorporating great scenery, great food, and a great friend.
Alas, I’m not – instead I look at the reverse side of […]
I bought this anklet on October 24, 2015, at Holuaola Gallery, which is in Holuaola, Hawaii.
According to the receipt, I paid $22.50, taxes of $0.94, making for a grand total of $23.44. I used a Visa card.
This is the only anklet I own – I bought it without trying it on, then […]
I bought this Gay Tarot deck in June 2017 for 21.49€.
I no longer remember the context, but I do recall that I had been watching an interview of some kind and the guest had brought Gay Tarot cards with him as an example of a ridiculous product.
At least that’s how I remember […]
The very first Kickstarter project that I backed was this, the Bring Your Dick To The Table, by Holly Wilson. I supported the project in March 2014.
With the charge that, “If all that separates us is a dick, then here is mine. Now lets get down to business,” the project was
Pledge Summary […]
The artplate displayed – as it is both a magnificent piece of art and a plate one can dine off of – is drawn by one of the 20th century’s greatest unknown artists.
Me.
Apparently, it was a thing to give children markers and tell them to draw, turning the resulting thing into a […]
I bought this bottle of whiskey last August in Portland, Maine.
Portland, Maine, was the second of three stops I made in New England: the first was Western Massachusetts to see a high school friend; the third Boston to meet other friends.
I chose Portland because I’d never been there – I’ve been to […]
This copy of i’i shetland is from my visit to the Shetland Islands in 2013.
i’i shetland is a magazine clearly aimed at locals – more so than any other magazine of this ilk that I’ve ever had the pleasure to read.
The reason I kept the magazine was the “celebrations parties” section at […]
This boyfriend was a present from a friend – I think I know which one, but, to be honest, it wouldn’t surprise me if a number of different friends had given it to me.
As you can see, it will grow up to four times his size in water – so he’s a grower […]
When I went to Japan, to Hiroshima, for the first time, back in 2013, I made a point of flying ANA, All Nippon Airways, there. At the time, they flew the 787 from Frankfurt to Tokyo Handea. I came back on Swiss via Toyko Narita.
I think the number of times that I have […]
I bought this vase in, I believe, December 2018, at the Japanese Christmas Market.
The market was held at Malzfabrik, which is located “behind” (sort-of) the Schöneberg IKEA. I went to the market with my two Italian friends – where, generally speaking, we had fun.
There were two negative things about the market: first, […]
