semi’s.

don’t wreck them right where people get on the freeway. i don’t care what time it is. also, have the decency to only use 4 of the 5 lanes, instead of the ENTIRE road.

the sleazy

i am heading that way!  starting tomorrow anyways.  i’m going to count pine trees til i get to that scary bridge in slidell.

everyone knows i’m super psyched!  and now everyone knows i’m coming!!

mot du jour

(did i spell it right?)

get excited people!

oh mlk day!

 

frist center!

this day does not exist in france.

this is not a post to educate you on french words customs or hilarious french people.  but on a related note, i went for free!  to see the relation, i went to SO MANY museums for free in paris: louvre, d’orsay, marmotton-monet, the asian museum, the one with history in the basement! (etc. etc.)

but the frist today!  it was cold outside, bien sûr, but i ventured out of the house, on this day, the day of my holiday!  there was a photograph exhibition, but not just highlighting one photographer’s collection of work, but highlighting an entire collection (the eastman collection) which dated from the beginning on photography (1850’s) to photographs of shirley temple and judy garland!

the only sad part of the day (besides it being cold) was that there weren’t any of my favorite photos in postcard form to take home, which is always a highlight of museum going.  i did get a surprise for someone!  (you can guess who!)

the cold has arrived.

i thought the cold had arrived before. but i was wrong. in fact i didn’t know just how wrong i was, until today.

today, the day of single digits. today the day where wearing pants doesn’t matter, four layers means -2, and hats just don’t help.

now i’m inside, and my hands can type! it’s purely a miracle.

vampires.

this is oddly familiar.  i feel as if i should start listening to jeff buckley* and never leave my room until these books are read!  it permeates your thoughts, even as you’re picking out tea at wf or trying on dresses at anthro.  why, even when duke won their game, i was thinking ‘poor bella’.

 

heroin for the eyes

so you better be thankful that i’m even writing this!  and also that i ate meals today.  that is quite miraculous.

*note: i read the historian in the depths of winter in ’06.  also about vampires.  also very long.  also became quite the little antisocial katie while it was being read.

noel

i loved christmas because 

a) i got to give presents!  what is better than that?

b) i’ll tell you what’s better – getting a necklace by elsa peretti.

c) david came home!

d) cammie was really cute!!!

e) yummy christmas cinnamon buns

f) trip with the family!  (which technically can also be filed under the sometimes annoying category)

g) hiking!!

h) fun to say that i was out in the craziest wind known to man.

i) fun to say ‘blooowing rock!’

j) fun to stay at the renaissance in downtown asheville.  just don’t eat there.  or read your newspaper just outside the restaurant.

k) i love reading!

fantastic free f’show!

 

Table of D O O M

Introduce yourself to the table of doom.  Say hello.  Tell it your name and your favorite hobbies, perhaps your favorite moment from Friends or Lost.  It won’t care!  IT IS THE TABLE OF DOOM!

It lives only to topple your drinks and your dreams!  After it has done that, it will mock you by not allowing you to be a lazy bum and lean on it during really awesome performances by guys dressed up like a marching band.

*Note: My privileges of picking sitting locations at bars/ shows/ restaurants/ my own home have been revoked until further notice by Natalie.

**Notex2: This post is from last weekend.  As mentioned before, I am a lazy bum.

***Notex3: Hopefully I will never tag something ‘Table of Doom’ ever again.

rrrrrrrrain

Boy howdy is it rainy today!
