really deep post

I love moleskines! I can't talk about the goodness of these notebooks enough.



These are the newest acquisitions.

Moleskine should pay me to advertise all the possibilities with their notebooks.

pointless things I do.

Keep my tea bag even though I know it will be too weak to use a second time.

Spin the hot/cold dial in my car, thinking it will make the air warm up more quickly.

Scheme for ways to not wear long sleeves in the winter.

winter solstice!

Today: shortest day of the year

Forgot how awesome this guy is.

best color.

I have had this awesome color in my head. It's in between blue and green and it'd be an awesome color to paint a wall.

I've googled for the color, even looked at paint swatches when I've happened to be in a hardware store or something (I love also that I'm thinking about this when there's absolutely no paintable walls in my life).

However, it came upon me the other day when I googled Tiffany's while watching "Breakfast at Tiffany's".


















Voila.
