{knick*knacks}_1 pantone rubix cube


when i was in high school - i wasn't the most attentive student, particularly during geometry or calculus or trigonometry. i would either sleep, sneak in snacks or doodle on the borders of my handouts. 

one day the teacher decided it was time to spice up our class and move our seating arrangements. i ended up being seated next to one of the most quiet people in class. i will dub him "Q" - now Q wasn't very chatty but he was very good in math. So he tended to join me in not paying 100% attention. instead he would pull out a rubix cube and play with it. 

i've always been fascinated with them and i fancied that one day i too would solve one. i asked Q to teach me the ways of the cube. turns out - Q was a regular chatterbox... very knowledgeable in the language of the cube. i was a padawan and he was the jedi master - teaching me the ways.

fast forward 10 years later - i still thank him for teaching me how to solve that blasted cube. whenever i see one, i have this need to fix it so its colors are all where they need to be. the cubes are always the same color - and after awhile it gets boring to look at.

then i found this one. is it too early to hint for a birthday present? hehe... i ❤ it
