Hi, Livejournal! Long time, no see!
The chilly (for Texas) weather and my lack of attractive hat options are convincing me I need a bad-ass ushanka. Rabbit fur, I think - I want something that was once alive keeping my ears warm, something soft and fluffy and prey. I'll only be able to wear it a couple of times a year, so it can't be too pricey, and I want to try one on before I buy it. Any suggestions for places to look around town? I'm gonna check the local boot shops, under the theory that they're not afraid of selling dead animal things in Austin. Russian hat + cowboy boots = TEH SEX.
I have been decluttering my apartment using the dogmatic Apartment Therapy Eight Week Cure, and my oh my is it ever working nicely! I'm slowing down now that I actually have to dig through paperwork, but I have elevenish grocery bags full of books ready to go to Half Price. Week Seven is coming up, which is bedrooms and associated closets, which means I'm going to have to donate a shitload of old clothes. I wish I had a garage to build a sale around - I don't care if I only make a nickel per thing, I just want SOME kind of return. Grrrr. Must tell myself the cleared space will be worth it, never mind the decrease in mover's fees next time around.
