The National Museum of Natural History – Washington D.C.
When we arrived in Washington D.C., my boyfriend kindly asked me what I would like to see. Like a child hyped on pixie stix, I shouted “DINOSAURS!” because the six year old kid that is my soul still wondered in awe at the behemoths that used to roam the world. “Oh yeah! Or we could go to the museum of space and–“ “But there are DINOSAURS.” “There’s that too. We could also visit the Lincoln Memorial–“ “And we could DINOSAURS.” “…That’s not even a sentence.” “DINOSAURS.” Since I had been reduced to incoherence, we decided that we should go to
Roast Beef with Shallots
I am not allowed to forget this recipe. Ever. The boyfriend LOVES it. If I ask if he wants me to make a special meal for him, it often includes this. But the first time I made it? He was full of suspicion saying things like, “Are you rubbing mustard on that roast beef? I mean, I don’t know about that…” He also warned me that he didn’t like horseradish cream and would have a taste of the shallots as a courtesy. I told him it was okay. We were trying something new and I’d probably throw it out after
Getting My Posts Through E-Mail
I feel like a total jackass posting this, like people are soooo eager to not miss a single thing I write, but I have been getting complaints that people are missing my posts. Apparently, since switching to a self hosted domain, I disappeared from the WordPress reader. I don’t know how to get back on your feed, but I know some people must see me. Some people can “like” my posts and some people say that they can’t. I’m a domain noob. I don’t have the answers and that feels crummy and makes me feel stooopid since I can’t figure
Central Park, New York City, New York
When you visit a place like Central Park, you have expectations. And mine included a vast area of nature in the middle of a sprawling urban jungle. It sort of was that and it sort of wasn’t. I think I forgot that it was a park like any other one I could find in my own city and not an actual wilderness full of untouched human land. I don’t even know why I had this concept of Central Park to begin with. I’d seen enough photos of Mariah Carey walking her dog on the concrete pavements to know better. There
Kryolan Icicle Gel
I had big plans. I was going to get this icicle gel and show it off as special effects makeup. I was going to give you a heads up in case you wanted to be a frozen character or just another rendition of a cold hearted witch. Buuuut, I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS. I see the promo pictures showing frosty flakes growing in men’s mustaches, or hardened icicles being drawn onto faces, and it looks legit. I use it and it looks like I have snot all over my face. And please, do not use it on facial hair, eyebrows included,
Week in Review #10
Operation: Move In With Boyfriend is going smoothly and slowly. By that, I mean, the place looks wrecked and if I could move in any more of a chaotic fashion, the house and maybe the world would fall apart. I swear I make these things way harder on myself! Enough about me, let’s talk about me more by discussing crap I wrote. I edit my face big time and then try to cobble together a reason that’s pretty much not a reason, but whatevs. I enjoyed it. Little Black Dress? Yes, and lots of them! This trip to the museum
Adventures in Shopping: The Aviator Jacket
There is a reason why the aviator jacket is totally in vogue, year in and year out. It’s timeless, adapts to the current trends like a champ, and goes with so many awesome outfits, it’s ridiculous. Utterly, freaking ridiculous. NYC Jackets – $189 This looks fabulously cozy and I want to snuggle into this and not take it off until winter is over. And the black leather against the white lining is pretty phenom as well. ASOS – $103 I like the brown coloring and the loose fit of this one. It’s a straightforward aviator jacket, so you don’t get
GRE Study Update
Well, I’ve officially registered for the GRE meaning I’m in nonstop study mode. PLUS, I’m moving in with that one guy I’m crazy in love with which means my TIME IS DISAPPEARING like crazy! But busy means good things and I’m all for moving forward in my life! I’m studying through Kaplan and they are seriously kicking my booty but sharpening my brain at the same time. I rock the verbal portions! But math? I’ve got a loooong way to go baby! There are way too many formulas and complicated equations. I’d rather just shop for furniture to add my
Pressed – a Restaurant in Boston, Massachusetts.
I was famished when I walked into Pressed. I had been up at six am, skipped breakfast, got stuck in traffic, rattled around on a duck boat tour and by eleven o’ clock, walking around Boston, I was ready to start eating my own hand off, because I needed food ASAP. Visions of bacon and French toast were dancing in my head. It was going to be delicious and full of calories. The BEST kind of brunch, you know? My aunt said she knew the perfect place! And off we went to Pressed. Spoiler alert: It was not the perfect
