5 guns west

Nepal silver bangles, La Dama knotted rosary

Talitha Getty meets the rodeo.

I got my fourth moving violation in 8 months... UGH. First of all, Google Maps SUCKS. Highway 84 SUCKS. I wish... instead of "fastest route"... there was an option that would give you "least f-cking dangerous path." I end up at an intersection pointing to two different directions on Highway 84, neither of them being the options AS STATED BY GOOGLE MAPS. Of course, I end up going the opposite way. So there I am... gas on empty... no turnaround in site... and OH this was a great time realize that I'm actually afraid of the dark.

Well, at least you have kickass jewelry, if that's any consolation.

Oh yeah. Google maps had me going about 30 minutes in the wrong direction in the dead of night one time. Very uncool.

thatsorad said...

you are awesome! It takes 3 pages to print my moving violations and google maps seems to pray on people who get lost.

Love the bracelets..... I guess you should use the rosery while driving :)

Google Maps is the best
Tru dat. DOUBLE TRUE!"

teresa said...

Hahaha! So true! Google Maps has gotten me lost one too many times. I'm not a big fan of the dark either especially when you get stuck in some scary neighborhoods.

i have those bangles, j'adore.

p.s. Mapquest gets the job done, even though they sometimes like to take you in 36 circles, you eventually get there ;o)

Don't Be A Hero said...

damn you. I've been trying not to spend money, then I saw this and finally went "fuck, impulsive la dama buy" and guess what. they're giving these away with any other order. which of course led me to spend 80 bucks on a piece of coral that I don't need to get that deal rather than just the measly 6 for the rosary that I've been lusting after for weeks anyway. grrrrrrrrr. damn you and your epic jewelry

the coral necklace is pretty fucking awesome though. most likely would have buckled and bought it anyhow, but I want to rant at you for spurring my impulses because, hell, I haven't been bitchy enough yet today
