last day in portland

last day in portland! it has been a blast. i had no idea someone could drink so much coffee and still be so sleepy. within one hour today experienced rain, hail, warmth, cool, cloudiness, and sunshine. i'm going to drink and eat and enjoy the sun while it lasts, but i'll have some more pictures and stories from this fabled land up soon.

where the [previous post]s are

in keeping with my previous post, i'm sure that pretty much everyone out there has seen this by now, but if you haven't, you must, and so, i post. (and overuse commas.) spike jonze + dave eggers + the yeah yeah yeahs = every hipster's dream come true. i, for one (of millions) can't wait.

wild thing

this morning i got ready for work in 8 minutes. 8 minutes! i try to wake up by 7:45, usually wake up at 8:00 or so, and today i finally dragged myself out of bed at 8:22 and threw on a bathmat. no, i found this vest whilst boutique shopping in dumbo with a couple of friends and decided to make it mine. for some reason it was obscenely on sale; it's as if no one else was buying these beauties!

we've started cake decorating in school; should be a fun unit. today i'm racing to finish a bunch of things at work before i leave early to pack; tomorrow morning at 6 am i'm off to portland until tuesday, so i probably won't post until then.

hope everyone has a great weekend/passover/easter. . .

okay, this is bullshit

seriously, april? pull it together. get your shit straight. you aren't february, april, and no one wants you to be. what this photo doesn't tell you is that it's fucking SNOWING. unacceptable.

i'm going to portland this weekend, and when i get back, i really hope you've figured this out. your identity crisis is getting really old.

i top-shopped

and you know what? it wasn't that amazing. most of the stuff i wanted was heavily beaded or sequined and cost more than i wanted to spend, and the other stuff struck me as pretty forever 21-y. great shoes, though. i didn't have time to wait to be noticed by an employee to get my size, though, so i tried on a few shirts in front of a mirror and chose this one. it kind of exhibits my style turrets; i usually shy away from 80's style stuff, but shirts like this have been grabbing my attention lately, so i decided to go for it.

gin + wine + sangria = hangover and red-stained lips. my L train smelled like french toast this morning. my coffee is cold. it is going to be a long day.

i don't need no diamonds

two friends got engaged over the weekend. that is, two separate friends got engaged to two separate other people. which is wonderful! don't get me wrong. it's just that between these two, my two sisters, and all the other friends i have that are either married already or planning weddings, i am starting to feel surrounded by people who have hearts in their eyes and rings on their left fingers.

well, i can claim at least one of the two. i found this ring on etsy last week and loved it, but it's so hard to tell how these things will be in person; i needn't have worried. it's perfect. a vintage avon ring from 1975, it opens up to a tiny picture frame, complete with a frame and a little piece of plastic to slip over the photo; you can also pull out the frame and make room for a little tiny something of your choosing.



honestly, though, wearing a ring on my left ring finger just feels weird. i'll switch it over to the right hand soon. and continue to stare at it and smile a off-in-the-clouds smile. that'll show 'em.
