Something to put my pencils and flowers in

Ironman vase and pencil holderI have to say that this is very clever and very cool. I want one for my desk, so if anyone is wondering what to get me for my birthday this would be right up there. Actually forget that, I don’t really want to be reminded of my birthday. Already this year my eyesight has failed and now Tracey is examining my thinning hair. I even had to shave as there was one or two grey hairs popping up in the beard.

I think my favourite scene in Star Trek II Wraith of Khan is no longer where Kirk screams:

“KHAAAAAAAANNNN!”

It’s now when he is reading the screen when he is about to input some code and he pulls out his reading glasses with a muttered ‘damn’.

And those damn kids and their parties and their iPod Touches. I remember when an iPod only had 8 GB and you didn’t hear any of us complain when we only had 14 days worth of shuffled songs.

Huuuurrrrrupm.

Anyway I found this vase whilst searching for pictures of Iron Man. The vase is called Iron Man Pen Holder & Vase and is available from a site called Wrapables.com. I think it’s really well designed, simple but brilliant.

A little piece of art sculpture right there on your desk.

Now were is my cup of tea and blanket I feel like watching my stories then off for a nap this afternoon.

  1. Maybe you should buy one for Smackday14. The poor kid’s crying out for some positive attention ;-)

  2. Man, the speeling bug got me. I meant “Smackdat14″.

    Sorry Smackdat14, I meant no disrespect.

  3. Ian - don’t make me QA your comments!

  4. smackday…sounds like a perfect day for some crack ;)

    Arjan’s last blog post..Zoanthrope 2008: old skool

  5. Arjan - It’s not so much the greying that concerns me because that can be fixed ;) Nah I’m more worried about the thinning - I ain’t going to get that can of spray on hair!!!

  6. Thats easy fixed Lee, you simply gets yourself some clippers……….. no one can tell that your hair is thinning if you’ve had it all clipped off! :P

  8. lol, most people aren’t, but that doesn’t stop any of them!

    Bettina’s last blog post..The Cathedral Cave

  9. B - that was me nearly seven years ago thinking to myself ‘hey Bruce Willis looks bad ass with no hair, I should shave mine off. Oh I just look plain bad… and not in the good way.’
