fAvOuRitE aRt: part 4
My dear Claude Monet, he is certainly a cliche now, but this piece isn't so I'll throw it in. Of all the pieces I've seen in the best museums in Europe, this was one of the most captivating. It is absolutely huge to begin with (I'd guess 8'x12') and the detail is extraordinary. So let your eyes feast and if you're ever in Paris visit Monet's lovely ladies at the Musee d'Orsay.

Happy Monday!

Modern Electronica
(fabulous picture found here)
My DVD player has broken, my big old black tv is an eye-sore and my computer could go at absolutely any moment. So no, it is not like me to do a post about electronics, but its what's on my mind so forgive me my current indulgences:
Flat Screen TV/DVD combo from here: $208
However, would it be wrong for me to just go with the Pink TV (seams much more my style) from Target of course: $299.99
In all seriousness, I think its going to have to be a white TV after all. How about this one? $279.99 also from Target:
Computers, well perhaps this one would do-Cosmopolitan Pink from Sony and Best Buy $799:
While I'm dreaming, I'd also like one of these: $119.95 (from here)
Of course one of these as well: $149 (from Apple of course)
And finally, the digital camera is a must and I think this cute little guy in Tiffany Blue is just wonderful $229.99 (from here):
Okay so my grand total comes to = $1577.93 Not bad eh? Got to run off a get a second job now, be back soon! J/K!!!
Have a fabulous weekend ya'll!
