After probably about 4 or 5 years of daily use, my favourite geeky accessory has given up on me. It's gone. Done for. No more. R.I.P beloved Batman travel mug
It was my 21st...or maybe 22nd, I don't know, I really don't remember, point is it was my birthday. A good friend of mine was working as a graphic designer for a place that did all kinds of customisation and design for all kinds of items. Out of this, came my Batman travel mug. With it's sleek Batman logo on the front, and a quote on the back ("I wear a mask. And that mask, it's not to hide who I am, but to create what I am" Batman- Broken City, Part 5).
In case you could not yet tell, I LOVED that mug dearly. I brought it with me to work every single day. It complimented every outfit, completed every single look, reflected my personality and unique sense of style, and (on a more practical note) kept my coffee warm all morning. Crucial, considering I randomly get pulled into meetings the second I arrive at work and who knows when I'll be back to my desk, with a second to actually sip my coffee.
Alas, all good things must come to an end. The lid for the mug somehow became warped (I'm looking at you, dishwasher!) so now it doesn't screw shut properly, leaving it to leak and drip coffee everywhere. While I do love my coffee in the morning, I don't love the stains it leaves on my outfits. So now I have need for a new travel mug, and it MUST be Bat-fam.
If you see a good one out there, let me know! I'll be on the hunt.
