annoyances...

whenever people have asked me about my pet peeves, i've had a hard time giving them a definitive answer, mostly because i'm a rather easy going person. this christmas season however, i've finally nailed down my pet peeves. well, 2 of them at least:

1. secular holiday music

2. cheap umbrellas

i cannot express in words how much i DEPISE secular holiday music, so i'm not even going to try. as for cheap umbrellas, we can all learn something from the british. if you want to see a man's umbrella, check out this site. apart from being the leading umbrella company for 170 years and the first name in sticks and canes, the shop on new oxford street is a legend in itself--a perfect example of a victorian front shop design and has remained virtually unaltered in 140 years.

cheers.
