Ideally

This would be my lunch:



Today and every day.

Instead it is Mogu's lunch.

Yesterday

Something about this glove caught my eye as I came up out of the subway onto 53 Street, so I got out my camera.



Click click click—

Uh oh, who's that approaching?



"Are you done with that, miss?"



Yep, caught by the janitor, taking pichures of trash.

Embarrassing.

Butter chronicles

Greg brought this home yesterday.

So far, I think the Président butter is best, but delicious Canadian butter is the best deal.

SPECIAL CUSHIONS

Greg's (left) and mine (right).



Mine's all skarshed because it goes on my desk chair. (Also because I overstuffed it.)

Mmmm

Pretty.

Old rug

BOOOO!

New rug:



YEA!

I have to stand on a rug when I wash the dishes.

Birthday

Somehow I am thirty-three today.

"These things made us think of you..."

Yes, our friends Sarah and Courtney sent us a couple presents.

Including this amazing fisherman sweater!!!



Handmade by someone!



I LOVE IT.

Also, OH MY GOD this book:



Boy and Girl Tramps of America!

From the back cover:



(Note: "after the World War." There had only been one.)

Inside:



Fountain pen.



"Illustrated with Photographs by the Author"



"Where to, boes?"



"A couple of bindle stiffs..." !!!!!!!!!

[Speechless]

I can't wait to read this whole book. And wear my new sweater!!

Thanks guys, we totally LOVE YOUS!



And Nikita, Kitten, and the buns.

City kids

They work with what they got.

Oh. My. God.

We received the most INCREDIBLE parcel yesterday.



Details to come—it'll blow your mind.

IT BLEW OURS!!!!!!!!!!!

Winter food

Yep.

Note to self

Do not buy the cheapest shovel.

Churros

I bought a bunch of these on the G train for a dessert I wanted to make (mmm . . . warm churros and ice cream and chocklit sarse).



There were a whole bunch left over. . . . I had to eat all of them all at once to make them go away.

Sometimes it's the only way.

PERVERSITY

I have a perverse love for this cushion. Perverse because . . . it's "Christmas" plaid? And literally matches nothing in our apartment?





I found the cover in a bag of cloth on a trash can (there's a matching one), and I finally sewed a pilla inside it a couple weeks ago.

The difference

When you are reading a book made of paper, you can tell when you're coming to the end. With an audiobook, if you aren't watching the screen, you might have no idea it's almost over.



The ending of this book was so sad and abrupt I almost couldn't handle it.

Landlady Valentine's Day decorations

Blue-eyed love panda.

Made of . . . plastic?



Or something.

Roberts,

Clean off your damn desk!

(Tsk, look at all those coffee cups.)

Snow

From the office.



Around this time everyone started leaving early. I got ZERO emails between 4:30 and 5:30—IT WAS SO GREAT.

Then, after work, in Greenpoint:





Yoiks.

The most amazing invention!

Someone else does your laundry for you!

YES!!

Halp!

Snowstorm!



I can't see a goddam thing.

(Also: nose is red)
