the perfect white tee

Still looking for mine.
Meanwhile, I've accumulated about 4 not-quite-so-perfect white tees.

I have this problem.

I stay up late for no reason. I put off going to bed so that I can...what?
Diddle around on the internet for pretty pictures and new clothes?
Yes.
And here's a pretty picture to prove it:

Thing is, I'm actually really tired. My eyes hurt.
I just have problems actually going to bed, but once I'm there, I have no problem staying. I love sleeping in the morning.
I'm just a little nocturnal. Like a cat.


So there's the only picture of my Halloween costume.
(Obviously I'm doing something very catlike in this picture, and not a wimpy air-punch.)
It was a fun weekend.
My favorite costume that I saw was John Cusack from the movie Say Anything. It was perfect, down to every last detail. The guy actually had attached an extra set of arms to himself to hold up the stereo...SO hilarious. They looked real. Ahh...I wish you could've seen it.

Any favorite costumes from the weekend? What were you?


Good morning. See you in the night.

P.S. Snuggie commercials crack me up. Did you know that you can wear your Snuggie to:
-go to the movies?
-do the wave with a load of other Snuggie-clad patrons at a football game?
-do the 'cabbage patch' dance while watching TV?
-'raise the roof' around the campfire with your family?

my weirdest crushes (if you want to call them that)

I'm not talking about standard expected crushes like the Rob Pattinsons and the Chace Crawfords of this world, although those are all well and good. Believe me, they're fiine.

These are "crushes" of a different genre.
These are dudes who I admire, men who make me strangely happy, guys who I want to chill with.
And I just straight up like 'em. Cause they're awesome.
Okay, so here we go:

1. Conan O'Brien
(the obvious. If you know me, you're probably already aware of this.)

Things to like:
-the (in)famous pompadour
-the freakish height
-the geek impression


2. Tiger Woods
(the greatest, literally)
Things to like:
-the infectious smile
-the red shirt-on-Sundays thing
-the super large biceps

3. Louis Van Amstel
(the sweetheart)
Things to like:
-um. he can dance.

4. Peyton Manning
(the coolest)
Things to like:
-the funny commercials
-the charity work

5. Joe Crede
(the one that got away...from the White Sox, I mean)
Things to like:
-the tucking-the-pants into-the-socks fashion statement
(there. see, now this post does have something to do with fashion)
-the insane 3rd baseman skills

6. Joel McHale
(the newest addition to this list)
Things to like:
-the skinny ties
-the sarcasm
-Lou.


So who's on your list?

...or am I the only one who makes these strange types of lists?

5 things

Note: This post is not going to be at all cohesive.

1. The clogs from this post back in May. I would still kill for them. Here they are again, for my your viewing pleasure.

2. Essie nailpolish. I'm really late to fall in love with it, but whatever. Now that we've found each other, we're going to be together for a very long time. Currently gracing my fingers: Mink Muffs; a wonderfully ambiguous brownish grayish color.

This is someone else's hand.

3. Alexi Murdoch. He's cool. He's chill. I heard his music in the movie Away We Go (which was pretty good, I think). My favorites of his right now: All my Days and Wait.

4. We just got these great new white sheets, and something about them combined with our fluffy white comforter kind of makes our bed seem like one of those delicious hotel beds that I just want to wrap myself up in like a happy little burrito, and enjoy unnecessary amounts of pillows and listen to the rain falling outside and not do anything. at. all.

This is someone else's bed.

5. I want at least one chunky silver watch.

Aaannd, that's it.
Peace.

no one on the corner has swagger like us

Nothing like a killer attitude (or a wispy blue playsuit with leather detailing)
to make you stand out just a little above the rest.

"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today."
