(I’m lying in bed FYI)
USB rechargeable lighter
Bought this off my own wishlist recently. I have absolutely zero need or use for a lighter but my brother had one and it seemed pretty cool so I got one too. I thought I was buying a USB-C situation but it’s micro USB which is annoying but whatever. Otherwise it’s a pretty cool lighter. I have used it once, to light some birthday candles. It has a decent amount of clicky fidgety flippability a la Jack Foley in Out of Sight. 8/10
Loop ear plugs
I cannot sleep without ear plugs of some kind (living in an old building, in the city, and with teens). Usually I use the soft ones from CVS/Target/whatever but they don’t last very long plus lately they hurt the inside of my ears. So I bought these! The “Quiet” ones on their website. They come with 4 different sizes but I haven’t quite figured out what size works best for me yet. They don’t dampen sound as much as the foam OTC ones but they’re easier to get in and out and they’re reusable, so. I guess I like them!!! 7/10
Muji clippers
Originally hipped to the high quality of Muji nail clippers by Sarah. Good shit. Bummer it’s so hard to find the smaller size these days so keep your eyes peeled. 10/10
Carhartt hooded sweatshirt (gray)
I mean it’s a sweatshirt, it’s great. 8/10
Homemade cat wand
The cats were bored of the existing wands and I wanted to up our wand game but I did NOT want to use my precious carbon credits to dump more crappy plastic from China into my house. SO I spent $10 at Michael’s on wooden dowels and some ribbon and a thing of Gorilla Glue and the cats are SO FREAKING PSYCHED. I thought I had a picture I could insert here but they freak out so actively around the wands it’s hard to get a clear picture. Sorry! 9/10
Gatorade Zero Orange
One of my favorites but I made the mistake of drinking it when I was just lounging around doing whatever/nothing. Orange Gatorade is about 90 million percent better after physical exercise. So like it was fine but not the optimal experience. Anyways still my 3rd favorite flavor (after Lime Cucumber and Grape). 5/10
