Weekend in Review

There aren't any photos from the weekend. But if there were, these would be the captions:

"Beer" "Wine" "Bar" "Friends" "It's 3 am?" "Hungover Sunday" "Gross hangover cure" "Fake cure" "True Blood is a disappointment" "HUMMUS"

All caught up? 25 is not 21, friends.

What I've Been:

Reading: One Day by David Nicholls. I actually just finished it, it was really lovely. I'm about to start on Team of Rivals.
Wearing: This Skirt from American Apparel. In purple and in navy. It's on sale right now! (I maybe just bought the red one...it's only 16 dollars) I wear these so much that A finally commented. He can barely recall what color my hair is. Also, the AA website might not be safe for work? So gross.
Eating: This Salad from The Post Punk Kitchen. We mix it up, sometimes subbing in spinach or asparagus or lentils or...really whatever we find.
Seeing:  Mary Ellen Mark's 20x24 Polaroid shots seen here
Hearing: Noah and the Whale, discovered via NPR. (I assume everyone loves the Tiny Desk Concerts)
Watching: I'm mostly just waiting for The Debt to come out so I can talk more about how flawless Helen Mirren is. But I did see Captain America. The last minute of the movie is the best minute. Also, why does the Capt. always look so greased up? It's weird.

Flower Power

When we visited The Getty during our LA trip, we spent several hours wandering around the garden areas. I was organizing some photos this morning and came across these flower snaps and thought I'd share. Trying to figure out how to use these in a little wall art display, but also trying to hold off for some potentially big news soon. While we wait we'll settle for posting them here!

Weekend in Review (sort of)

So, I only took photos for a few hours of the weekend, and of the ones I took very few are even close to presentable. But, I'm back, friends! And I've uncovered the mystery of uploading my photos to my laptop. A hint: Turn the camera on. Pretty high tech of me, right?

This weekend I: cleaned, started a new sewing project, ate a ridiculous amount of carrots and broccoli (dipped in hummus), started a new book, watched The Town again (still super good, once again surprised to remember Ben Affleck directed and helped write it), forced a friend into an old stinky antique shop so that I could hunt down a very specific chair (which was not there), took a scenic drive and took some photos at night. I also made waffles. With walnuts. We live right on the edge of danger.

From night driving*:

A asked "Is this my official Pitchfork profile picture now?"

*A drove, I just snapped photos and danced along to Earth, Wind and Fire.

Motto

It's been pretty busy around here, but I thought I'd drop a little note in! I drink coffee everyday, and I used to drink A LOT of it. (Whatever, undergrad and then grad school). So much that I'd get jittery and inevitably someone would suggest I try decaf coffee. Not just no, but hell no.

*I now only drink one cup a day, so I avoid both the jitters and the annoying advice.

Guess Who

Can you guess who this adorable young lady is? She's famous. She's currently on tour. She's one of my heroes (and probably one of your's).



Do you know??

It's DOLLY, everyone. DOLLY PARTON. Now, let's be honest. This post is just a chance for me to say that I love Dolly Parton. No anti-Dolly will be tolerated here. Hate her? What's it like to be all cold and dead on the inside? Love her? Join the party, we're all here!

One more song, this one's for Mandrew.

Oh and one more. This one's an interview! I love her.

Dolly Parton, everyone. May she live forever.

Long time gone

I disappeared for almost a month. Well, really, I just disappeared from my blog. We had a busy but lovely month so far, weddings, reunions with friends, seeing family and spending some time thinking really carefully about which color to paint a wall in our apartment. You know, the important stuff.

I'm trying to decipher how to upload photos to our newly healed laptop, so if you're privy to any special moves to get my Canon to sync up go ahead and call me. Or text. Or tweet. Or send a letter. Or write it in a song.
