I cannot begin to explain how much I love this picture. It’s from The Sartorialist and the caption is On the street… Garance at work, NYC. I don’t know why I find it so exciting that my two favorite bloggers know and work together. I’m a freak.
I’m not sure if you have ever heard of Smitten Kitchen, but it is a great blog filled with delicious recipes! I made these cookies the other night and my roommates and I were swimming in delicious oatmeal, chocolate chip, pecan cookies with orange zest. I made them bite size and ended up with nearly two dozen decadent cookies. I’ve already made cookies, muffins, cupcakes.. I can’t wait to get to the savory treats.
patricia, i read your blog.
accidentally stepped on my free apple headphones and crushed them. no music. sad.sad.sad. anyone have suggestions for a new pair? cousin suggested grado225s but i don’t know that i can get myself to drop that much for headphones:/
i’m trying to save money for winter break since i’ve given up on finding a job for just one month. i wanted to work at papyrus (free cards!) w/ a hs buddy so i called them last week. they said “great!” and then they told me training for seasonal employees would have to start next week…..arhrghhghgdhd.
my winter break plans are simple: cook, the nutcracker, annual pre-xmas trip, neue galerie w/ madre, snowboard (big boulder $15 college night as often as possible because i need a lottt of practice), sleep, study, arrested development marathon, seinfeld marathon, visit old boss with a cookie. i think we are kindasortamaybe pals now. kindasortamaybe. AND of course see my beautiful friends.
i also don’t know why i’m asking for suggestions when the only person who consistently reads this is grace..haha..my only friend!
kerr:
Tadao Ando completed building the Ryotaro Shiba Memorial Museum in 2001 in honor of the late and great Japanese writer. When you enter the building, you must walk through the library. All of the books pictured were from Shiba’s own collection.
I want to go to there.
Time to..
break out the riding boots, chunky knit scarves, jackets, leggings… I could not be more excited for this crisp weather!

What a day...!
Drove all around central New Jersey today to find the social security office.. only to arrive and find out that it is closed. Of course, I have no one to blame but myself and my ineptitude.
Came home to a pile of work… all of which I do not understand. Game Theory fascinates me but I cannot (for the life of me) understand all of the games that required of me.
I’m starving but have managed to lose my appetite. I refuse to settle; I am, and have always been, a firm believer in improvement. I have room to improve, room to grow, room to expand my horizons. Thanks for the veiled criticism, or should I say- gossip, “friend.” I will use your skewed perception of reality to continue to live my life and walk by faith.
Game theory is really confusing.
Maybe, ending my day with some deliciously unhealthy foods and a Yankees victory will salvage this day.
LO-VE, it's a mystery.
Currently listening to the soundtrack to Where the Wild Things Are. I would upload it for the tumblr world out there but seeing as my hard drive crashed, I am now a big fan of Imeem and have no music on my computer.
I’m ending my day with yet another starbucks drink.. Oh starbucks, how you love my money. Warm apple cider.. mmMMmm.. it is starting to feel like fall and I cannot be more excited. There is something about the warm colors of the autumn leaves that make me feel fuzzy on the insides. Really considering starting a collection of fall leaves and mailing them to my friends (mainly Michelle) studying abroad in amazing places.
Anyway, I managed to put off all of my work. I am staring at a pile of books, pages upon pages of slides, and five chapters worth of Regression Analysis that I need to tackle. Maybe, I’ll go to Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte.. jokes, I’ll save that gem for tomorrow.
