My life kind of revolves around this place. It's a store that sells mostly Japanese goods and sundries. 90% of the stuff costs $1.50. I visit the San Jose, Daly City and Mountain View locations on a regular basis and always gets suckered into buy oodles of super cute and fun things I don't actually need. Heart this place.

Neat! Thanks for the heads up!

No problem! I think you'd really like this place. Definitely worth a visit.

I've seen these in some stores around L.A. They are awesome!

Yeah, I thought I'd get tired of the vivid design quickly, but three years after I bought it I still love how it looks on my coffee table.

those are cool:)

Okay, this guy is my friend again because it's a hoot to hear him read headlines from The Onion and also because of 2 questions he asked me yesterday:

"Do you think I talk too much?"

and

"We really have a lot in common, don't we?"

Ha. Silly rabbit.

This place is not like anything else I've ever seen or heard of. If you go, you must see the exhibit on superstitions, visit the tea room and watch the movie entitled "LEVSHA - The Tale of a Cross-Eyed Lefty from Tula and the Steel Flea"

I do a lot of reading. I walked into a Design Within Reach to buy an Eames rocker one day and was infinitely disappointed to realize that it didn't rock very well. And it was uncomfortable. This chair. This chair is comfortable.

Piranhas are a very tricky species. This is my favorite movie ever, man. This version of the DVD comes with a nifty poster/map.

I love, love, love this movie. One of my all-time favorites, too.
