high school high


ahhhh. ben folds. my crush of 1995.

tonight i re-crushed on him after i randomly got tix for his show at Terminal 5. Gosh! His nerd glasses, kindergarten pants, and piano-thrashing hands just get my panties all in a bunch! Like, omigod! Exclamation points abound!

guys, take note: talent goes a looooooooooooong way in scoring. he could have cauliflower ear and a missing eye for all i care. seriously, look at the guy. with talent, "impishly nerdy" becomes "molester chic." "awkwardly asocial" becomes "charmingly quirky." "dana carvey" becomes "do me here and now." the way he pounds those keys! Double gasp!

home obsession

a friend recently told me i have total productivity ADD. i can't sit on the couch and watch TV without also surfing the web and cleaning the house and planning a to do list at the same time. any free moment on the subway or bus is instantly whiled away with the iPhone, catching up on news, texts, emails, or my calendar. it kind of sucks. and rules. how the hell else does a girl get her shit done?

so now, jobless, productivity takes the form of consumerism.

previous obsessions in the last few weeks:
-finding a desk lamp and chair (double check)
-scoring a free armchair (check!)
-scoring a free filing cabinet (check!)
-white nectarines (check)
-making fish tacos (hells yea)
-finding a not-vomit-inducing cat post (no such thing)
-marc jacobs navy blue parka (rethought a better use for $700)


latest obsession: finding a lamp.

what is it with ugly-ass lamps? how hard is it to find a simple, clean, modern floor lamp that doesn't look like it's from Ikea? and is less than $300?

anyone got suggestions? I've scoured west elm, CB2, crate & barrel, restoration hardware, straight from the crate, croft & little, jonathan adler, john derrian, target, macy's, e-Bay, elle decor, domino, design public, and tons of modern design sites. arghus.

please. no more hideousness in the world. palin is enough.
