After much planning and lots of help from a friend, I finally got a full-length mirror. Landlords, please put a full length mirror in your apartment. Everyone wants to know what they look like, head-to-toe, not just the upper part from the bathroom. What if you accidentally wear one shoe color on the left and another one on the right? Only a full-length-mirror can tell!
So happy, I hung it on the door. There the truth revealed: the mirror is wicked. My head was big, then small, then big again, just like when you are in a fun maze house. Totally appropriate for Halloween but not every day use. Mirror ơi là mirror!
Now it's escape plan: I need to return the mirror. But how? I don't know. My life in SF is sans car at the moment. A full length mirror isn't the easiest thing to carry! Thick skinned to ask for help again? :\
Everyone should check their mirror CAREFULLY, even from a big name store like Target, where my beloved wicked mirror is originally from :(

The Spontaneous Couch
Another item off my unexpected list: buy a couch on the spree of the moment!
My apartment is like an empty land now - it looks more spacious than the tiny 326 feet that it is. But I need a bed to sleep on, and my trusty Craig's list had a sofa bed for immediate delivery. That was my only qualification. Immediate delivery. I called the poster, didn't negotiate the price, and asked to have it delivered on the same day.
Online, it was supposed to be made of fabrics, a swell black and red checked sofa. In reality, the red and black combination sold out, the seller nonchalantly mentioned that he had black and white. It was made of microfiber BTW, not fabrics. I didn't even blink. I said yes in his mid-sentence. I "blind"-bought a couch.
As fate would have it, despite suspense, doubt, and the unconventional way that it was brought to me, couch turned out to be a stunner. Black and white blend nicely with my wall color. Sometimes you just have to trust serendipity, don't you?
