The Muppets!

The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody!

A cousin sent the link to me, and I just had to repost it. I got so nostalgic! I absolutely loved the muppets when I was a kid. And that video made me giggle.

Mahna mahna.

The Second Dog Bag

While (window) shopping on Shangxi Lu, I spotted the second Dog Bag so far.

This one was chequered, but still very much like the previous one. Didn’t ask for the price though – (almost) everything on the main Shangxi road is expensive. Which is why I was only window shopping.

I’m rather happy about finding a store that sells these though – if I ever buy one, it’s the closest thing I’ll get to owning a dog.

Those Pretty Shoes!

Or ballet flats if you like. And of course you do.

After all, who does not love a good pair of shoes? Or a pretty pair if you’re not that much into comfort, like me. If I can get a pair of both pretty and comfortable flats/heels/sandals/you-choose, that’s great, but I value the good looks a bit more. Which is probably why I almost always wear and bring along those nifty heel band-aids in case of a blemish or two.

I think my love for pretty shoes is border lining fanatical some times, but after watching the Sex and the City series, I get the feeling a shoe obsession’s rather normal for girls? And if you add the number of females one usually sees when entering a shoe store, it can be too far out either.

But let’s get back to the main topic; my new, pretty ladybird flats. Yes, ladybird. Bow-ladybird.

Please ignore those socks. Wait, do you have an opinion of the crossed socks?

This picture was taken before I managed to buy my self new, white ankle socks – which by the way gets dirty already on the metro station to school over here. There’s so many people rushing, and stepping on your feet in the process.

The Dog Bag

And no, not a doggie bag or a dog in a bag (like we’ve seen so incredibly many times before).

I was sitting in a metro train, along with some friends, on my way to a night club when I noticed: the girl sitting behind Nini had a dog on her lap. Not a real one, and not a stuffed animal (though I thought so at first). I actually had to poke it’s owner and show my camera to her before I could take some shots – both because of the angle and me wanting a good picture).

I’ve seen people brutally stuff their dog into a purse down here, so I think this is a good solution if you absolutely need to carry a dog. That, and it looks even better in real life. I haven’t seen any of these before though, and so far I’ve seen quite a lot of purses so far (bags? shoes? watches? DVDs? xD ).

So does anyone know where to get one of these? Is it a brand or something? Because the thing looked damn expencive.

The Panda Backpack

I love pandas. Pandas, cats, hamsters, cute pigs, Hello Kitty things, basically everything cute.

But I’ve never seen something like this one before. It’s adorable, and backpacks usually aren’t all that, so it’s nice to see something uncommon every once in a while. Also, I’m amazed she’s wearing it on her back. In Shanghai, most people wear their backpacks in front of them – like a stomach pack!

Sorry about the quality though, I’m not fully compatible with my cameras settings yet, and I really don’t like to use the flash.

Reminds me, I used to have this really cute, small Pikachu backpack when I was 10 or 11.. I wonder where it went..

Purrfectly knit!

I just found the perfect knit sweater. Dark grey, warm, cozy and not to mention interesting with those gaps in the sleeves.

Why I would want a home knit jumper? Why, it’s getting colder! And there’s nothing more comfortable than a baby Alpaca wool jumper and a cup o’ hot chocolate when it’s snowing. Not sure if it snows in Shanghai though (according to my “secret” sources, it rarely does) but still!

Waddaya think? Look at that pretty jumper! It’s too bad it’s one of those DIY projects. I’m useless with knitting, and since there’s no “buy it finished” buttons I’ll simply have to keep on dreaming until I find someone who can.

The New Netbook

I just ordered myself one of those cutesy-cute ‘Acer Aspire One’s Version A150, of course. And I’m feeling content.

After all, I’ve been trying to decide which netbook to order since late July – and there’s so many! Well, not that many, but many enough to make me research myself half to death to find out which one’s more suitable for me. And, with me being a perfectionist, that’s not an easy task.

At first I wanted this really cute Asus EEE 901, which seemed perfect. Y’know, in white. I found out that the material showed fingermarks really well, so a black one could easily end up looking dirty. And then there’s my luck: the Norwegian version with XP doesn’t seem to come in white. The Linux version seems to come in both white and black, but the XP? Only black. And I don’t much time left to wait for a white one since I’m leaving Norway the 23rd of September. Too bad, really, because I genuinely wanted one, and I wanted to glue pretty pictures on to personalize it. I obviously love things on sight.

‘Neways. That’s how I ended up with an Aspire One. I’ve already developed a crush on it, the design mostly. And it came in white.

Me, a materialist? You’re kidding.

PS; Today’s also Pernille’s birthday! Gratulerer! <3
