Time for a Change

Obama's campaign was ALL about change. AND this year I am taking that to heart, starting with my room. I haven't really changed up my room since I've moved into it 3 years ago, sure I've added risers to my bed, changed the lay out, added a book case, got rid of a LOT of clothes, started taking the hundreds of Andy Irons posters and banners and added >gasp< photographs of New York City architecture and landscape.... BUT it still feels cramped. It still looks like I'm in college, maybe it's my horseshoe bed sheets and the big Hello Kitty sitting on my bed. Yes I am overwhelmed with the mess, I figure I will always be a little messy, closet space will ALWAYS be an issue, but I can at least try to make the most of my space. I think it's time to purge the empty liquor bottles that used feel like a prized trophy, a night of accomplishment and good times of finishing off a bottle of Crown. I don't need to keep EVERY baseball I found at Les Murakami Stadium when I used to be an usher in college. Or all the UH Athletic media guides I stole from working at the athletic department. When will I ever use a discman player. And when will I really need my notes from Geography 101 or Psychology of Human Sexuality.
My roommate/bff Anna got a new bed for Christmas so it forced her to clean her room. For me I think I just need a fresh start in 2009.

I'll post photos of my detoxed room soon!

Fashion, Politics, and Japanese Snacks

Our new First Lady got style. Last night she wore a dress from Narciso Rodriguez's spring 2009 collection, which just hit the runway 8 weeks ago! During the campaign trail Michelle Obama's fashion mixed affordable from H&M and J.Crew and designer pieces. It's been awhile since a First Lady had an impact on the fashion world, I can't wait to see what she'll choose to wear to the inaugural ball!!!!



Yesterday I went to Marukai, to stock up super cute Japanese snacks, and to look for Christmas Omiyage. And I found some Disney Pakkuncho (little biscuits filled with cream then stamped with your favorite Disney character)! OMG my sister and I used to LOVE these when we were little, our gramsy and auntie used to take us to Marukai and let us pick out one candy. We usually picked our candy based on the free toy that came with it but once in awhile we bought candy based on the taste, Disney Pakkuncho was one of them!
