I've always wanted one of those wall decals for as long as I can remember going to the markets and seeing them for ridiculous prices. Something about a 90$ cut piece of plastic just doesn't seem right (cue comments about buying costume jewellery). So I was pretty happy to walk into typo @ bondi, which is cotton on's new baby, and pick up one of these gigantic wall decals for 29$. I couldn't wait to come home, unwrap it and stick it onto the wall of my wardrobe.. an hour later I was sitting on the floor in tears. Two parents with numerous years of experience in that old fashioned eastern European trade of sticking up wallpaper, and I just couldn't figure out a way to stick up a damn decal without 50 million bubbles. I ended up redoing it 3 times before I decided to cut the whole thing up into strips to get rid of most of the bubbles. I'm not sure if its one of those you get what you pay for situations, or the instructions were wrong, or maybe the Eiffel tower is just not a wall friendly shape. If anyone wants a wall decal.. go for a small bird, or a twig shape, or something small that wont leave you feeling like a blubbery little child. I've deemed it the Ei-FAIL tower and walk over every once in a while to smooth over an air bubble.
Blogging has become such a nasty business. no matter whose blog you go to, there are horrible comments. Someone's too fat, someone is too skinny and that's just the comments that didn't involve studying someone's blog for a good few weeks to create remarks that would seem witty at first glance. For every negative comment I see on someone's blog, I want to leave 2 nice ones. People believe blogs are so much more intimate than they really are, yes you're sharing your life with people through pictures, text or both but I guess everyone forgets to distance themselves and realise that no this isn't a complete person, this is what someone's selected to present to you. Not even with an oh so popular video blog should you leave comments passing judgement on that person like you've know them all your life. No one's going to stop blogging because of it and you look like a little nasty no body. I'm so tired of seeing crap written about my favourite blogs and missing old school Internet happiness x 1000 right now.
