I hope this is true...

This has helped me so much with dissertation writer's block:


Roald Dahl supposedly said:

I never come back to a blank page; I always finish about halfway through. Hemingway taught me the finest trick : “When you are going good, stop writing.” You don’t go on writing and writing until you come to the end of it, because when you do, then you say, well, where am I going to go next? You make yourself stop and you walk away. And you can’t wait to get back because you know what you want to say next.



i.e. stop when you know where you are going next.

I hope it's true.  If not, I'm still gonna use it.

K-man is so talented!

I'm lucky to be marrying an amateur pizza chef:

This one had spicy tomato sauce, turkey pepperoni, onions, tomatoes, and basil.

This one was super yummy with pesto sauce, tomatoes, basil, and onions.

I love you Neko Case

This looks like a great program:

Laura Mercier

So I shared my love of Sephora with my cousin (I would tell you her nickname, but she'd probably kill me since she reads my blog). I feel slightly guilty since now she probably has spent more money on make-up than she has her entire life.  She, in turn, shared her love of this kit:

Awesome.  I have acne-prone skin and this stuff is amazing.  It's all oil-free and it has a compact with two concealers,  one for under-eye and one for redness, both are some of the best I've used.

Now she and I have ruined you all :)

(On a side note:  My sister-in-law was over last night and I talked her ear off about make-up.  Sorry G,  I don't get a lot of 'girl-time'  if you can't tell!)

Swell Season

If you haven't seen Once , you should see it...very sweet. Swell Season, the 'band' (I put it in quotes because it's only two people) has a new album. Here is a video of them; long, but worth the watch:

Go to MOMA if you can.....

I have felt a connection to Tim Burton since forever. He has a collection at MOMA right now that I would love to see.

Following my childhood movie theme...

This was on of the most horrifying movies I ever saw as a child....I can't believe my mom let me watch it. The preview is totally misleading. DOES ANY ONE REMEMBER THIS DAMAGING movie?



Absolutely gave me nightmares.

High Cockalorum!

Water Babies was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. This is the best song from the movie, I used to sing it over and over again:





What are some of your favorite childhood movies?

Admittedly random.

Sorry it's been so long peeps-  I spent most of the last week in Florida and it was glorious! Beautiful wedding, beautiful weather, beautiful friends, and beautiful brother :)

This post may change some of you all's opinions about me, merely because of the fact I got excited about the following, but I'm willing to take that chance.

On two seperate occasions during my trip, I got to use the following hand dryer:

It is the ONLY hand dryer I've used that actually works.  It thoroughly dried my hands in like 5 seconds. I did my research (yay Google) and found out it is a Dyson Airblade.  Serously, I am impressed....I knew engineers were good for something.

Happy Birthday!

Today is Hello Kitty's 35th birthday!  Happy birthday old friend!
