I’ve been investing some R&R into this blog, if you’ve noticed the shiny new domain. For those of you with iPads, you’ll be pleasantly greeted with this image when you save my blog onto your home screen as a button. Behold: Pretty Huh? I’m almost done with my origami crane curtain. Here’s a little something…

Several Things:
First: I really wish I were psychic. Or that Cheaptickets.com would tell me the truth. What do you think discount flight companies mean when they say “Last day to buy at this price”? Is it: “buy this today because tomorrow it WILL be more expensive” Or “buy this today because tomorrow it MAY be more…
Tiny Houses
A lot of attention has been devoted to tiny houses. And I think they’re adorable. They’re affordable and they speak to the true nature of what a living space should be. People shouldn’t live in absurdly large houses. It doesn’t foster intimacy. Let’s say you’re married or have a family, your children are physically far…
Gemstones, Cosmic Gifts
I’ve been getting into gemstones. I went to the Peabody museum in Harvard Square with some friends and was completely enchanted with the shapes and colors of their geodes. And various gemstone collections. They looked like miniature art installations. They’re beautiful! It’s a shame not to collect them and adorn our bodies in them as…
Selina Kyle? Catwoman? Anne Hathaway? Christopher Nolan?
I have concerns for the new batman movie. Mostly my concern is that it will be awful and that Anne Hathaway is a terrible choice for Catwoman. Does anyone even REMEMBER Michelle Pfeiffer? How can Hathaway ever fill those shoes? She may have been a great, vapid White Queen in Alice in Wonderland, but considering…
Dream Board and the Universe, Part 2
A little while ago I made a post about dream boards. I’m almost done with them! My life has sort of come to a standstill during the course of the past month. I’ve needed to find the time to do various paperwork, logistical errand running, assisting, craigslist furniture scouting and delivering, used car buying, apartment…
Paillettes Prada Fall 2011 and Time’s Cruel Nature
I just got the September issue of Vogue late since my subscription ran out and it’s already September 5th! I exclaim not because I am reading my magazine later than usual, this I’m okay with, it’s the uncharacteristic, surreal speed of time passing which has left me confused and unsettled. How fleeting time is, how…
Moving on with your life!
Everyone I know is moving. Which is fine! I’m not jealous. I don’t even want to move, I don’t even like it. I couldn’t be bothered to have a blank new canvas for which to decorate. Or want that ghastly uncomfortable period where everything seems new and feels different and even the things you’ve had…
Hurricane Irene
There’s nothing like being heartbroken and mad that someone you really didn’t want to leave does and goes to New York. Forever. And then having a hurricane named after you. A highly publicized hurricane that’s all over the radio, news and internet. So glorious it is to know that my name was constantly repeated for…
Cats, Death, Sadness, Pain, God?
I like to think I’m practical much of the time. I have bouts of irrationality frequently; my current life/economic/social structural model would be considered incredibly irrational by many of my peers. When it comes down to the big issues, I think I’m doing quite well for myself. My cat’s going to die. At least, we…
