Today I found a whole new reason to love the internet and it’s called the nytimes.com video library. I rarely check the nytimes homepage until well after lunch, but this morning I was in a mix it up kind of mood and after only a few minutes on the site I already knew where and when the next world series game was going down and was happily watching a video feature on how to get hard cash for my family’s gold heirlooms in the diamond district. OOOhhh soo tempting.
.
But then I realized the web layout I was navigating was really foreign to me. I mean, I knew I was on the nytimes website, but there were all these videos! Tons and tons and tons of videos about soooo many different things. And this place, this glorious video library place, was all kinds of dark and mysterious and recommending things I actually wanted to watch and learn about! Like the Urban Eye feature on CMJ! And that random snow day last year! And, oh my goodness, what’s this? Would I like to go backstage at the Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 show?
.
No no, I would not like to go.–I’d LOVE to go.
.
Now, follow me, because I want to introduce you to the FABULOUS Catherine Baba. She’s a stylist who attended Marc’s show and says things like, “Darling” and “Laa-Di-Daa” and “I feeeeeeeeel DIVINE,” and I would like to be her very much.

Pleeeeeeased to meeeeeet you, darling.

Yesterday, I made the potentially dangerous move to not drink any coffee [for a week].
.
Am I scared? YES.
Am I crazy? Probably.
Am I tired? . . . what? No, I’m totally awake. I was just resting my eyes.
.
Right now I’m trying to remember why I decided this was a good idea. I think it had something to do with leaving work early last Friday because I got soo dizzy and nauseous after downing 3 cups of black coffee on an empty stomach that I couldn’t function. I know. I know. It was a fluke! It could have been anything! Don’t blame the coffee! Seriously though, while I LOVE coffee and this totally goes against my only add things to my diet/routine that make me happy instead of depriving myself of the things I love philosophy, drinking 3-4 cups of strong black coffee every day cannot be the healthiest way to live my life. So wish me luck. Or send tea. Yeah, that’s probably a much better idea.
.
Send lots and lots and lots of tea.

Best way to spend a Sunday morning . . . EVER.
I was in the kitchen at work this morning shaking a carton of soy milk before adding half a cup of it to a bowl of cereal (Trader Joe’s Pomegranate and Blueberry Flakes and Clusters!), but before I knew what was happening the cap had popped off and suddenly I was shaking an open carton of soy milk and totally helpless as it exploded all over the cabinets, the counter, the sink, the floor, my dry clean only outfit, my face, and my hair.….e..x..p..l..o..d..i..n..g….s..o..y….m..i..l..k….e..v..e..r..y..w..h..e..r..e...
1st thought:
Ewww. (I also said this aloud)
2nd thought:
Thank god no one saw that.
3rd thought:
If cereal is my boyfriend, I think it’s time for “the talk.” You know, the one about how he should probably give me some sort of warning before he’s about to go fucking bananas and blow his load all over my law firm’s kitchen cabinets.
Thanks, babe.

Stop judging. I love cereal and cereal loves me. It’s totally different when it’s just the two of us – so filling and sweet and exciting and comfortable and affordable and gooood. We’re happy together and we don’t care who knows it.
I carry your heart in my heart to heart, cereal.
