Five Good Things: Mocha Frappuccino Edition
1. It has been freakishly warm here. I know that makes Al Gore really upset, and it makes me really upset too in theory, but I can tell you that I did not feel upset at all this morning when I left the house in an unbuttoned jacket and bought an iced coffee at the weird shady variety store by the bus stop. I did not feel upset at ALL.
2. Media I have been absolutely loving this week: Romancing the Stone, the first season of The Wire, Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen, Foreign Affairs by Alison Lurie, Carrie Underwood Pandora, Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Pipe by Vincent Van Gogh (ALSO, did you know there is a theory among scholars that Paul Gauguin is actually the one who cut Van Gogh’s ear off? And Vince had acted like a jerk that day or something, so he was all, “Uh, yeah, I did it myself”?), and the new episode of Lost (which made me cry twice because I am a sucker for cyclical storytelling and also slow motion montages).
3. Late-night trips to Target and economy-sized boxes of Cheerios, plus a Starbucks to hold while you wander around.
4. Did I tell you that I made Deb’s Banana Bread before I left on vacation? And that it was AMAZING but I only ate one crumb of it because the whole point of making it was to get all the food out of my house because I didn’t want it to go bad while I was away? Anyway, I am totally making it again tonight as part of my “Hell yeah I am a hermit, I do what I WANT” Friday Night In. Also on the docket: beet and goat cheese salad, and a nap on the couch.
5. There are two brunches and a night on the town with the book clubbers in my immediate future. I anticipate a bitchin’ time.
Word. Happy Friday.
