monkey nonsense

in my quest to become a grown-up, i moved a bunch of my stuff back home to my parents’ house. gone are the complete adventures of curious george (i had one copy here in VA and one copy in MD… yes, i had 2 copies of the same book; both given to me by other people), the mini curious george lunch box (to go along with the 2 regular size lunch boxes already in MD), one curious george flashlight (i am keeping the other one here in VA just in case), numerous stuffed animals/monkeys, and a few other things deemed too childish for me now. i am, after all, twenty-four. i forgot to bring back a few other things, but the next trip home will see munch, the big blue monkey, going back to MD along with the curious george calendar pictures that once plastered my wall at my first apartment, my wall-o-monkey.

i’m grown-up now. i need grown-up decorations. i started to peruse allposters.com for poster ideas and i realized, shoot! i still have the taste of a 12 year old. (i can blame all of you for my excessive curious george paraphernalia, but i picked my new shower curtains entirely on my own. i just couldn’t resist.) really couldn’t find any “grown-up” posters that i really liked. i sort of regret not buying some posters i saw while at the reston festival a couple of weeks back… there were some really awesome landscape photographs and this hilarious series of paintings done by someone where 2 bathrobes were doing every day things… my favorites were 2 bathrobes enjoying breakfast and 2 bathrobes pedaling a tandem bike. hehehe

i finally found some prints i really like, but they cost so much! are grown-up decorations always so costly!? i think it’ll cost me ~$40 for each print and frame that i want to get… and i was looking at a couple of them. anyone know a cheaper alternative to allposters.com or to getting frames for posters/prints?

man, and my old curious george decorations were pretty much free! (old curious george calendars given to me by other people) being a grown-up sure is expensive!
