Sprizee :: A simple girl replete with complications

Netflix is getting rid of seperate queues.

What the fuck?  This explanation simply doesn't make any sense.  I've been a huge Netflix advocate for years but now I'm seriously considering taking my business elsewhere.  There's a Blockbuster just down the street and it would be nice to be able to just go there on a whim and pick something up and/or do the mail in thing.  My advice to Netflix?  Don't try to outsmart a smarty.  Either own up to why you're really getting rid of the cool individual profile queues or bring them back.  You know what?  JUST BRING THEM BACK.

Check cha-check cha-check cha-check it out.

1. I saw the Life of Reilly at the Varsity Monday night.  It was funny.  Not too funny.  It was heartfelt.  Not too heartfelt.  It was short.  Not too short.

2. Misty is back, it's Jason's birthday and we're getting together for dinner tonight.  Good times!

3. I'm totally smitten with this hat.  Gimme!

How 'bout them Apples?

Love them or hate them, you people have strong opinions about those pesky Apple computers.  Do you love them?  Here's your chance to spout off until you begin foaming at the mouth and animal control comes banging on your door.  Do you hate them?  Here's an opportunity to have your voice heard until my ears and eyes start bleeding and I turn off your mic.  So have at it.  Yo Apple you SUCK.  Yo Apple you RULE.  Play nice, I'm headed to lunch.

These things aren't related but let's pretend they are. Or not. Whatever.

Normally I don't post finds like this, but hello, I have a whole category devoted to anything Pink!  So here.  Also, I want this bag but I can't decide what color to get since it doesn't come in Pink!  I'm kidding of course.  Now everything I buy is green.  I'm not really kidding about this, sadly.  Anyways, back to the bag.  Red or black?  Decisions, decisions.   

H&M comes to Seattle. FINALLY!

If this is not true, I will cry myself to sleep.  Then again, you shouldn't believe everything you read.  But somehow, I think the Northgate rumor is true.  Hopefully!  H&M, welcome to the neighborhood!

(Thanks for the heads up Sally!)

Update 8/3/2007:  It turns out H&M is actually opening a store in Seattle' s UVillage (and not Northgate) in the Spring Fall of 2008.  Even better!

Striper by day.

I'm wearing this sweater today.  I bought it online months ago for $14.99 and that, my friends, is why the InternetS is awesome.  Fifteen dollars people.  One. Five.  What are some of your favorite online bargain haunts?

I think the H stands for Holy! and the M stands for Moses!

So I was minding my own business today, thumbing through the latest edition of the Puget Sound Business Journal (yawn) when I noticed the following on the front page: Stylish H&M eyes Seattle.  Dreams can come true!

Please, please, please.  Hopefully by this time next year, if I'm craving a new coat, I won't have to debate about whether or not it's worth swimming across the Atlantic Ocean for.  Yes, I just ended that sentence in a preposition.  Neat, huh?  H&M!

Etsy lured me with her crafty wares.

Introducing my latest acquisision.  Etsy?  Why must you be so damn cute?  The brown version is no longer available, however it's still available in red.  Or how about the paint by number cutie?

Damn you InternetS.  Like I needed another skirt. 

I am currently in love with...

The 70 something degree weather we're having in Seattle IN MAY APRIL! You'll never guess what I'm wearing.

Finally finding the perfect fixture for the house entry over at School House Electric.  Northwest represent!

That walk I took, on a whim yesterday,  around Greenlake instead of just driving around it like I normally do every other day on my way from the metro park and ride.

Etsy goods!

Sewing classes!

Camping!

Going to The Copper Gate with friends for drinks after work!

Carmina Burana on Saturday! Season tickets rule.

Confessions of a coat whore

I know I should be spending the few minutes of the day that I'm not working or thinking about sleeping (thank you jet lag) recounting my adventures in Spain and Portugal.  But seriously, since leaving work yesterday, I can't get this coat out of my head. 

I'd like to think that's only because I was so bored on the bus yesterday that my creativity OCD went AWOL and tried in vain to keep me entertained.  But honestly, it's just pathetic.  I've already run through about twelve different scenarios in my head about how I could get my hot little hands on the coat.

Check if there's a cheap flight to San Fransisco, Los Angeles, NYC.  Go to H&M.  Buy coat.  Immediately fly back to Seattle.

Contact a courier service to pick up the coat and FedEx it to me.

Make friends with someone who lives in Sweden and have them order me a coat online (yes, H&M only allows you to buy online in Sweden).

Call a store in The States and talk them into taking my credit card number and MAILING ME THAT COAT!

Find someone who lives near a H&M and sweet talk them into being my bitch helping me out.

But I know imposing upon someone to go pick up a coat for me is insane.  A starving child, no, but a coat, yes.  So H&M?  If you're listening, I'd bet that coat fits me in a 34 or a 36.  Please send post haste.
