movie day:



2 Days in Paris with Julie Delpy and Adam Goldberg.
Now that there is zero possibibility of leaving the comforts of my house, my roommates and I will be enjoying a full-fledged film fest, starting with this charming little story.

In less than three hours it is my lovely friend Jessica's 22nd birthday. This time last year she and I were in Milan celebrating her 21st with friends, techno, and cheap Italian wine. This year she has decided to host a Mad Men themed birthday party but it won't be for another week. All of this snow is making it nearly impossible to do anything besides sit at home!
Jessica and I bonded over Factory Girl while studying abroad in Rome, so when I came across this photo it immediately made me think of her and the lovely Edie Sedgwick who she shares so many similarities with!
Happy Birthday Jess!


A beautiful snow-covered Amsterdam.

the cold is beautiful.

Jackie and I are watching the Super Bowl because we feel we are supposed to.
This may be the saddest excuse for a Super Bowl party ever, but at least we have eachother! Maybe if there wasn't snow and ice surrounding the house we would venture into the real world, but for now the couch is treating us very nicely. So far the Doritos commercials are weird and slightly offensive, but I shouldn't have expected anything less.
Go Saints! (Or Colts, whoever wins.)


"Darlin' you are the only exception."

With the year's token romantic holiday fast approaching, things are getting mushy around here. The jewelry commercials don't bother me, and its not even about the pink and red flowers that stare at me everytime I walk into the grocery store, or everyone's sudden obsession with heart-shaped candy boxes, nope. I'm not a V-day hater, I just happen to find it strange that people use one day to send out all of their love notes in a publicized, obnoxious fashion as if to insult every single individual in the vicinity. Lets just take this for what it is: another scam to increase Hallmark card sales. I do have to mention, though, that Hallmark's new commercials get the job done. Yesterday, I watched one where a greeting card writer talked about how her pain from suffering a miscarriage inspired her to write a card expressing her loss. I would be lying if I said I didn't cry.
Don't be surprised if I start posting sappy love poems and cute photographs. I'm a hopeless romantic regardless of the day, month, or year.

There's a snow day coming...Saturday is supposed to be a stay-in-bed snow-up-to-the-sills hot-chocolate-marshmallows kind of day. I cannot WAIT.

girl crush:



Someone told me that I look like Zooey in 500 Days of Summer and now I'm obsessed with finding photos of her that bear a slight resemblance to me. Forgive me for being conceited. (*editors note: none of the above actually look like me, but wouldn't that be fantastic?)

A Booth of Books:




In a small suburb of England the townspeople purchased an old photo booth for 1 pound and revamped it into the world's smallest library. It works like this: you bring a book and swap it for someone else's used book from the precious collection. The smallest library in the world contains about 100 used books and also hosts a variety of movies and music CD's. Quite possibly the most ingenious idea ever.
