The Ordinary Review

I bought a set of three suitcases at a yard sale this spring. What’s odd about them is that they have no brand name. They are completely generic! They have small brand-like leather rectangles sewn into the sides, but these rectangles do not have anything printed on them.

I am very satisfied with how generic these suitcases are. They are like abstract symbols of suitcases. They could be labeled with any brand name, and they would look fine.

Their quality, on the other hand, is another matter. They are unstable and often fall over when you try to roll them. The handles are awkward and make the suitcases feel unbalanced no matter how you hold them. But for $1 altogether, I can’t complain too much. You get what you pay for, right?

I have one of those calendars from Bank of America that stands up like a sawhorse. It is shaped like a triangle, and it rests on the triangle’s base. I got it when I opened a new account at Bank of America.

I like this calendar very much, because my alternative to looking at it is to check the calendar in Windows. The Windows calendar is pretty lousy, in my opinion, and when you try to view the next month, you risk accidentally changing the date that your computer is set to.

The only drawback to this calendar is that it falls over sometimes. It gets tired and faints, much like you would if you had to stand all day and night without rest.

I wish that Bank of America had better, more expensive giveaways. As a giant national bank with bad service, I would think that they could afford better giveaways. But I like the calendar and think it’s okay.

I have a bunk bed at home, that looks exactly like this except that it’s bright red.

I am sort of embarrassed that I have a bunk bed. I am even more embarrassed that I sleep on the bottom bunk sometimes. Cold nights are my soft spot for the bunk bed, because it’s right next to the heater. But at least it’s not my bunk bed; it came with my apartment, and it will stay with the apartment when I move out.

I give the bunk bed an average review. It receives points for being next to the warm heater, but it loses points for being a funny-looking bunk bed.
