Okay, I know I just put Leila on blast for her love of organization, but this bulletin board? This bulletin board right here? IT NEEDS TO BE MINE.
In other news, how the mighty have fallen.

“You Are My Sister” — Antony and the Johnsons

I met a friend from high school for a drink in Fort Greene earlier, and on my walk back home, I listened to Antony and the Johnsons and felt winter close in around me. Then I found $10.

No, really: then I found $10 lying on the sidewalk! The unexpected modest bounty plucked me out of my wistfulness, and when this song came on, I beamed at some guy with a briefcase, just because I am $10 richer and we were both humans on a leaf-covered Brooklyn street.

Archi-sex-ture”… that is NOT how you spell “Buckminster Fuller”.

-Ted Mosby

I am just now watching last week’s How I Met Your Mother. Best Bucky shout-out ever?! (Yep, best.)

This day in unemployment

I made potato-leek soup for lunch and added tiny bits of bacon as garnish. That done, I started on my next project: apple butter, with Calvados instead of cider, while Out Of Time played very loudly in the background. My home is warm and smells great right now, and I am still listening to early 90s R.E.M.

Winter

My mom bought me a slow cooker last week. The level of excitement I feel about using it (high) makes me feel a bit :(
