If I could sleep forever...

Before you look at today's post title and go thinking I'm depressed or something, I just want to ensure that everyone knows that a) it's from a Dandy Warhols song, b) I'm really, really, supremely exhausted today and c) not forever, but maybe hibernating through winter wouldn't be the worst? I mean it obviously would be the worst and I'd rather not voluntarily miss out on an entire chunk of my life, but you know what I'm getting at. Chunky knit scarves are slowly but surely becoming a wardrobe staple again, which isn't annoying quite yet but I can imagine will become so in a few short weeks.
The lovely Jenn of Over Obsessorized has tagged me in "6 Unspectacular Quirks", wherein I'm required to state...well, 6 unspectacular quirks about myself and then tag 6 other bloggers. I have more unspectacular quirks than I believe I could ever possibly count out, but I'll try to narrow it down.

1. I absolutely, 100% cannot stand to have incomplete albums. I literally do not have even one single in my iTunes. Artwork, genre and every other field imaginable also have to be consistently, meticulously filled out. It borders on OCD.
2. My entire apartment can be messy save for the kitchen and I'll be happy. A clean kitchen is a sound mind, most everything else is extraneous.
3. I type 80 words per minute, but only use two fingers. It confuses everyone who sees it.
4. I feel out of sorts if I don't read my horoscope first thing in the morning.
5. Listening to Coast to Coast AM as I fall asleep is an unmissable ritual of mine.
6. I haven't used cash to pay for anything in as long as I can remember because I debit anything and everything. No wonder my card has been replaced 16 times at this point.
Tagging certain bloggers is always the hardest part of completing these things for me, as I really do adore all of you...however, the amazing and gorgeous Chauss of Je Ne Sais Quoi has given me the 'I Love Your Blog' rose award (thank you!!!) and I'm to tag others in that as well. In the spirit of hitting two birds with one stone, I'm tagging the following wonderful bloggers in '6 Unspectacular Quirks' AND 'I Love Your Blog' to complete or not complete as they wish...
Nita-Karolina
Blonde Hair, Blue Jeans
Frassy
Lesse Looks
Stompface
Strawberry Kitten
What is Reality Anyway?
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thursday, as I certainly am - I'm picking up my self-bestowed vintage presents in but a few short hours, some of which you'll no doubt see in tomorrow's post. Stay tuned!

Immediate Undertaking

Hello again! So I'm getting really bad at this Monday thing apparently...and, while I don't believe in excuses, I attribute the blogging-Mondayitis I'm experiencing to the following factors:

a) the sun is going down early again...like, 6:00 p.m. early, and it's not even Daylight Savings yet. Je suis desole!

b) Work-work has been busy like whoa. And, at this point in time, they still pay my bills, so I kind of have to do what they say to a certain extent.

c) G and I are working on a number of other projects at the moment, including the Great Apartment Fix-Up 08, which are surprisingly time consuming.
Alright, alright, enough excuses, even I dislike listening to myself make them...in which case I'm not going to even to begin with, so I'll just go back to being properly consistent! Ah, it all makes sense now. Okay. Onwards and upwards...

Le Smoking tagged me in a short but sweet little questionnaire thingamabob and, since I completely adore her glamorous smoking photo compilations on a daily basis, I am going to complete it to the best of my ability.

Clothes Shop: thrift and vintage shops first and foremost, Holt Renfrew for my big purchases (which are occuring less and less since real 'adulthood' kicked in and I have actual expenses that need to be met), and Urban Planet, H&M, Zara, blah blah blah for everything else.

Furniture Shop: Good question, that's precisely what I'm attempting to figure out right now! Ikea is unavoidable and occasionally good, I adore Umbra and a little vintage Art Deco shop downtown, and craigslist probably trumps any furniture store out there considering the amazing deals and often great finds I've stumbled upon on there! You've got to love the internet.

Sweets: I'm honestly not a fan in general, but I don't mind a chocolate covered macadamia nut here or there I suppose.

City: Toronto, obviously. Vancouver is also wonderful. I definitely wouldn't say no to London (rather, the UK in general), Paris, Belgrade, or anywhere in California though.

Drink: If I'm out it's gin and soda water with two limes, the rest of the time I'm good with a nice glass (or a few) of red wine.

Music: this is a veritable Pandora's Box of a question, so for today I'm just going to leave it at proper rock n' roll.

TV Series: The Riches, How Not To Live Your Life, Gossip Girl, Footballer's Wives, LOST. Pretty standard stuff all in all.

Film: Difficult question, and one that I definitely cannot conclusively answer today.

Workout: I don't in the summer because I find it boring and redundant considering I walk eveywhere, but in the winter I'm quite partial to running.

Pastries: I don't like them. Except for cheese croissants, which when properly made are delicious.

Coffee: Venti Bold with a touch of soy milk.

I tag whoever feels up to completing this! I really do love you all which makes it impossible for me to deem some 'tagged' and others not.

Oh, and one last thing - because of my absenteeism in the blogosphere yesterday I will be posting yet another diatribe later in the afternoon, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
