hi ho, hi ho...

AAAAAAAAAAAACK.

With the way work is going, my life is a Cathy cartoon. However, the end is in sight: Fourth of July weekend yessss.

Off to the land of Chautauqua and food galore and family. And - bonus points here - I get to bring Mr. Boyfriend.

Oh, right, Comedy Tuesday. Well, in keeping with the comics theme...
I always knew Bucky was a Republican.
Poor Rob.

comedy tuesd...eh

I am grumpy! If this weather continues, I shall build a canoe.

But in honor of Comedy Tuesday...
Computah says no.

hit the books

Sometimes I think about an M.F.A. in creative writing. And this, along with the accompanying article, provides some food for thought.

But before ever seriously thinking about another degree, I'll have to have a crack at studying this.

On a related note, I would really like to read "Mauve: How One Man Invented a Color That Changed the World."
(Really though, coming up with a title is hard work)

June, where'd ya go?

I wore more summer clothes in April than I have so far in June - come on!

And I'm fighting a cold! Who gets sick in June?! Me apparently... though I'm pretty bolstered by Friday's arrival. Wish I could travel this weekend but it just ain't gonna happen, and anyway maybe I'll get lots done this weekend. Like sleeping, and eating. Very important things.

Anywho, the Cambridge River Festival is Saturday! I can drag myself to Cambridge for all the food, music, and street performances I want. I can't believe it was just two years ago that I worked that event. That was an amazing internship - kooky and unpredictable but so much fun.

Perhaps a mellow weekend would also be a good time to experiment with cold brewing coffee... having a jar of icey cold coffee concentrate at the ready every morning would be amazing. Now, the question is whether to jerry-rig our own contraption or to shell out for a manufactured and long-lasting thingamadoo.

As any awesome person knows, the world's best* flavor combo is chocolate and peanut butter...she says as she stuffs another Reese's Cup in her mouth.
Hey, whatever gets a girl through the day, right?

The post on NYC's Sweet Revenge makes that trip to the Empire State all the more appealing...

Hm, I should probably post about Austin. It's cool. It's hot. It's Texas.


*Runner up: mayo and cheese. Yeah, I said it.

apron chic

I'd love a nice apron, but the ones I come across in stores are too extreme for me - either boring and masculine (come on, I do like to pretend to have a waist, you know), or are so cutesy and frilly they could never be machine washed (impractical to the max).

But the gals behind these Smocks know the score - and I want one. Maybe Agnyss, Alice, or Julia. I wish the Aimee was still in stock...

I'd look so cute grilling on our porch, humming along with the klezmer music streaming through the trees from next door. Or on a chilly day, inside making these. Mmmm.

Schaudenfreude

Comedy Tuesday presents...

Snark Attack. Tee hee! Look at that smug grin. Snarky Shark want's you to...

Look at my expensive gadget!

Heh heh heh.

Oh come on, I know it's mean, that's what makes it a SNARK ATTACK!

Mac Widows unite.
