kick out your jams/current obsessions.

1. I just invented something that I bet about 3.9 million people have also invented in the past.  Spoon.  Almond Butter.  Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips.  Put it all together.  Then, you get to be really happy for like four minutes while you try to get all the almond butter out of your teeth.  TOO STICKY FOR NIKKI, is what I say.  Amazing.

2. I really need to paint my room.  I want to paint it this colour.  Obviously the paint I want is from this really expensive British paint company that bills itself as heritage and has really nice packaging.  I am such a sucker, and also I am a snob.  Anyways, my furnishings are all dark wood and I feel like I'm going to be living inside a big old-fashioned egg.  It's going to be awesome.

3. It is raining really hard here.  It almost never rains where I live, so everyone is sort of freaking out about the apocalypse, or whatevskis.  I also live in one of the least windy cities on earth.  When I lived in Scotland, I would run and tell my roommates every time there was any kind of weather event.  This got old real fast.  This shit is news here, okay?

4. Ugh this band is so good.  Their wikipedia page describes them as "afropop-influenced guitars with hyperactive drumming and hooky three-part harmonies," which kind of sounds amazing and also kind of makes me want to punch someone.  Anyways, they're catchy without being irritating, and kind of shouty in a harmonic way.  It's happening for me.

5. For whatever reason, I like drinking coffee out of paper cups better than real mugs, so I'm the freak that takes my paper cup home from the coffee shop with me and washes it.  Ugh.  But awesome.  I have this thing where I prefer temporary dishes to real ones, and wash and reuse plastic cups (only clear ones) and cutlery to the point of ridiculousness.  Plastic spoons, especially.

plus killer steez.
