This is so going on my Amazon wish list.
I hate
when I’m walking around a corner and people (especially men) feel the need to duck and swurve around me. Do I look like the Cloverfield monster? Yes, I know I’m exceptionally tall but there’s no extra appendages or parasites ready to launch here, so relax.
My current fantasy involves...(Warning: it's...
Not going to work for the month of February. Buying every single book on my Amazon wish list Holing up in my apartment and now cozy bedroom and reading said books all day. When not reading, trying out new recipes from my newly purchased cookbooks while listening to NPR. After all the reading, radio-ing, cooking, and napping I’ll go to my basement gym and run a couple miles on the treadmill....

Ahhhh I have two 90’s R+B videos I’m DYING to post but tumblr won’t let me right now.

I can’t sleep right now because I took a massive two-hour nap today and had really lame dreams that involved The Hills, Myspace, the term “blogorrhea”, and public flatulance. Like really? My subconscious clearly went on a cool diet because that is the saddest line up I’ve ever heard of. I was bone tired today and generally physically incapacitated because Miss Alex Tanguay...

Barbara Ehrenreich on Bush's Stimulus Plan →
“With all the talk about how to stimulate it, you’d think that the economy is a giant clitoris. Ben Bernanke may not employ this imagery, but the immediate challenge-and the issue bound to replace Iraq and immigration in the presidential race-is how best to get the economy engorged and throbbing again.” HA (Just give me my $600, KTHXBAI.)
4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days: I wanna see it. →
These lyrics make me really nostalgic.
Helping the kids out of their coats But wait the babies haven’t been born oh oh oh Unpacking the bags and setting up And planting lilacs and buttercups oh oh oh But in the meantime I’ve got it hard Second floor living without a yard It may be years until the day My dreams will match up with my pay Old dirt road (mushaboom) Knee deep snow (mushaboom) Watching the fire as we grow...
DVF Don't play
Remember that Target wrap dress I was eyeing a while back? Looks like Target is getting sued for it by Diane Von Furstenberg. It’s also been removed from their website. Drats, this only makes me want it even more! I guess it was just a matter of time…
From my horoscope from Susan Miller this month...
“When Venus comes into this same part of your chart on January 24 for a month’s stay (until February 18), you’ll get weeks of Venus’ loving attention. This would be an ideal phase to schedule a fresh update for your looks. After all, your profile is rising, and others will notice you. At the very least, get advice from an expert or friends - you’ll want to set out on...

I’ve made this 2x already, it is so damn good. (I used turkey bacon both times and omitted the celery.) It’s the perfect winter salad.

Thanks to my amazing neighbor Jared, I no longer have to purchase the aforementioned computer speakers: we were talking about needing them yesterday and he just came over and blessed us with them, straight out of the box! (I guess he got new speakers and these were going unused.) Jared rocks: he designs for Earnest Sewn and my boyfriend has a shoe crush on him.
On wardrobe and Hilton Als
It seems that the spring cleaning bug has hit me early and I’ve been getting off on organizing my closet/wardrobe. The only downer is that after going through every single item of clothing, I’ve discovered I HATE almost everything I own. Thinking about clothes and moods brought me to think about the highly entertaining blog roll on New Yorker’s website that includes my FAVORITE...
Heath Ledger fucking died. →
So sad! He was so young, had a young child, and was ACTUALLY talented. WHAT THE FUCK.
How I spent Saturday:
More hot toddy’s (at Life Cafe nearby.) Watched Big Lebowski on VHS. Ate grilled cheeses. Fell asleep on couch, had more fucked up dreams (I feel like I’m having a Groundhog Day moment.) This time I remember them vividly: Dream #1 involved an intricate beach tree fort, green body paint, and a beatdown administered by a teutonic 6’5” model. Dream #2 involved high school...

Last night...
I did the following: 1. Tried on layered masterpieces that involved cardigans and flannel aka “old man chic.” I’m too broke to buy anything new right now so I figured I would work with what I have, which happens to be lots of second-hand button downs and sweaters that I bought a while back at the most amazing thrift shop in Boston, Urban Renewal. 2. Made a hot toddy: Jim Beam...
GA on my mind.
Thanks to Google Analytics, I found out that someone in Georgia is checking me out. I don’t know a soul who lives there. So weird!
