half a world away.

allright kids, i'm outta here for two solid weeks of being Not Here. if you want a postcard, send your address to

shivery at

com.

see you on the other side of the world.

so...

...i'm going to china! on saturday morning!

...i almost saw Arcade Fire at randall's island on saturday (but the MTA is evil, so i got as far as 125th street and then had to go home)!

...i saw lots of puppets!

...i think i need a haircut! again!

and

*drumroll please*

...all the i's are dotted, all the t's are crossed, all the sheets are notarized. just over one year later, it's over. well, almost. but the only person left who has a say in whether this happens or not is the state of new york. and i think she's pretty savvy.

that is all.

woot!

currently obsessed with:

rumpole of the bailey. electric green jellybeans. my stick blender. paint palettes. dreams of my own apartment. red lipstick. green cowboy boots. glass etching. kissing. santoku knives. programmable coffee makers. photo retouching. this supposed trip to china. movable motherfucking type 4. r kelly and what i'm hoping is the world's most brilliant satire. identity theft. clean laundry. figuring out what to do with the rest of the buttermilk. my hair. perfume atomizers. unbelievable craziness at work. bluetooth. rilo kiley. fishnets. the moonbabies. bedroom eyes (the norwegian band). cheese.

yes, i know. it's not a real entry. but cut a girl a little slack!

again with the domesticity.

i made a red velvet cake this weekend. it was not, lamentably, quite so red as i would have hoped, but it was indeed velvety and quite delicious.

and, you know. a frosting fight makes everything taste a little better.
