man on wire

woke up late this morning (its monday but its really my sunday and i needed to catch up/ rest up since ive been going and going for over a week now, and im going to be going for the rest of this week) and watched man on wire. documentaries can be gripping/lame - this one had my full attention, i dont even wanna tell about it - just watch it, its GREAT.

people are still selling, wish i were buying

i love having note cards on hand for thank you's, congradulations', (im sorry's), or just hello's. if i could find an affordable set of this card - you'd all recieve one, but $5 per card is just pushing it.

and how RAD are these boot accessories. also not affordable in this crummy economy.

i love tuesdays because new music and movie rentals come out, but this tuesday has been overwhelming;
1. bon iver, blood bank - ep
2. matt and kim, grand
3. coconut records, davy
4. animal collective, merriweather post pavillion

in other news: this weekend was fun. an old east coast friend came to town so we started at starlight - my favorite lounge/restaurant in san diego (complete with cream of nettle soup - very interesting), where we had a mule or two. then went to THE GETTY (my first trip) and my only regret was not going sooner. such an amazing place and the weather was perfect. next was india palace - good eating. then jojo took us to her secret spot which happens to be just a few blocks from my apartment - scary but really fun. we all headed up to north county for a late long breakfast. later on went to madison and jasons who were very hospitable (thank you) and then to eman and jorge's welcome home/ housewarming party. yesterday to the del for a pina colada and to splash around in the tide pools, cruised by sunset cliffs and then bbq'd at the pranges - it all felt like summer to me, it was great and im exaughsted.

i NEED this

new unattainable find

i just found this brand ivana helsinki that i love. dr scholls with tall socks, billowy tops, well fitting dresses are some highlights. check out the website (i suggest turning off the music, itll give you the major creeps when a russian man starts talking - trust me).

goodmorning

last night i went to sleep so excited to wake up and lounge around my new place. EVERYDAY this past 3 weeks has been full of errands, commitments etc... but this morning it involved a cup of english breakfast, a carrot muffin, and my bathrobe. i really really love it here. i had some major doubts just after moving in (what am i doing down here, is this place safe, have i gotten in over my head?) but its all finally coming together and feeling like mine. my favorite things about living where i do:

1. super tall ceilings and old wooden floors
2.walking to bread and cie
3.my green kitchen wall
4.walks with molly and nut
5.having friends stop in on weekdays

needless to say there is still plenty of organization to do and character to add. jojo passed along this idea to paint my doors red (on the inside) and im really liking this whole layout, which is surprisingly similar to my apartment. (photo clip from HERE)
