Stressful job detox shopping cures.

If someone could fill me in as to what gave me the idea I could afford these things, that would be very helpful.

Thanks.

PS: Since when am I such a girl?

My sweet little room.

I love my room, now*.

Lower East Side isn't half bad, either.

Being a teacher sounds pretty good, too.

I guess I shouldn't have been worried...

*Except for the HEAT...it must be a million degrees in here. Yikes!

Eats, Shoots, and Leaves.

I have come to a decision.

I am in the middle of reading the book above; a fabulous and witty diatribe against our modern culture and its disregard for grammar and punctuation. Having always been extremely interested in writing-- and being prone to reading 'with a pencil in hand for corrections', just as Truss describes-- I knew that I would get a kick out of this book.

What I didn't see coming was the acknowledgment I would be forced to make that the casual way in which I write on the internet is childish and unattractive!

As someone with a design background, I will vehemently stick to my opinion that lowercase letters are beautiful. However, I couldn't help but remember that for years, in my early experiences with the internet and texting, I used proper punctuation and formatting, and appreciated the favor in others. Funny that I would abandon this "proper" emphasis as I aged...I would have thought I'd have gone in the opposite direction.

In any case, here ends my chic use of lowercase letters. Onward and upward! Why squander my knowledge of the elements of style in the name of... style?

the boots of bliss

ok if i don't own one or both colors of this boot some time in my life i will just feel upset. does anyone have $128?


or fashion sense they could possibly loan me?




i know if i could wear shoes like these that i would also, magically, be happily married, 28, have a sweet little baby (or two), and long hair (worn in a bun), be insanely rosy-cheeked, eat organic food from a small farm, and i would love my government.

so... if anyone wants to loan me that money, they're at urban outfitters.

kanye west is the most arrogant fellow around.

not in the productive way, either.

what is the world coming to?

well--i've been a very lax blogger. i need to get back to business and post some of the christmasy crafting i have been up to... but then again, i don't want to reveal gifts. dilemma.
in any case, gifts or not, i haven't posted a darn thing in ages! i'll use the excuse that i've had the plague for over a week now...i'm about to start up another round of ten day antibiotics. oh the joy of poorly made sinuses in the winter. but lots has happenened--i'm 23 now! and i'm thoroughly bogged down by my efforts to get some kind of an internship. i've decided since no one is hiring, i might as well be someone's coffee girl.

the link in the title threw me for a loop this morning... i don't even need to comment, i don't think.

later...
