new coffee from k., all the way from canada. it smells like coffee, but better; it’s a super dark roast and the beans are a glossy glossy black. i keep my coffee beans in a glass jar that is about a foot tall, and has a shiny red top. it is very aesthetically pleasing.
delicious shortbread cookies. i’ve been using this recipe for years; it translates really well into vegan cookies, too. 1 c butter 1 c sugar 2 eggs 2 tsp vanilla 2-1/2 c flour cream butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla. add flour. roll into balls. press a dent into each ball with your thumb, and put in some [...]
made asiago cheese scones for breakfast this morning. they were okay. i think i just don’t like scones — i prefer the fluffier texture of biscuits. then sleep, finally, hours and hours of sleep — at least six, intermittently, while jo watched bones. and then steak ‘n shake. mmmm grilled cheese. mmmm chocolate milkshake. mmmmmmmmmm.

today i had a conference call that went on for 90 minutes — but 20 of those minutes were spent watching the bandom primer. like, the kids in the new york office watched it there, and i watched it here, and we talked about bandom, and it was hilarious. then i hung up quickly and [...]

tonight steph and i are going out for mexican food around the corner from my apartment. like, so close i was going to walk, except she’s coming to pick me up. that means instead of sneakers i am wearing my orange lace shoes. because mexican food is festive, and orange lace shoes are festive. and [...]
when i get jittery, restless, bored — i just want to fuck with my hair. this dye is leftover from a few days before i left new york, when krista and shira dyed streaks into my hair. it was the perfect amount leftover to mix the blue with the purple. i didn’t expect the result [...]
i look super pink & orange in this picture, and while i’m down with that for socks and scarves, it’s not so awesome when it’s me. except in real life, i don’t look pink and orange at all, and my hair looks a lot cute. whatever. i tarted myself up and took myself out tonight [...]
one of my housewarming gifts from my mom and baby sister was a waffle iron. i kept meaning to use it and never did — it’s hard to work up the urge to make a set of waffles when it’s just me eating them. but this morning when i woke up, i had the luscious [...]
