Yesterday, we watched the entire fifth series of Peep Show in one go. It had been a few months since we watched the first four and I had forgotten how incredibly hilarious that show is.
Find a way to watch it and do so.
Yes, do it! It’s so painful to watch because it’s so good and so many horrible things happen, and then it’s painful when it ends because there...

Dear Portland...

Dear Portland,
I’m waiting to fly back to New York right now for the red-eye. As I think back on the past few days we spent together, I thought about my expectations going in.
“It’ll be fun, probably!” I thought.
You were more than fun. You exceeded all my expectations. If you didn’t rain 9 months out of the year, I would move to be with you and we’d hang out all the time.
Your...
OMG SO FULL
Today was so amazing in terms of food.
Breakfast: French toast breakfast at Junior’s (two huge pieces of french toast, awesome tofu, orange slice and veggie sausage)
Lunch: #71 (fried rice and veggies- better than most!) at Van Hahn
Dinner: Bamboo fries, rice fritters and papaya/pineapple tamales at Nutshell
So delicious.

Good times!
OMG I just got stuck in an old lady trap! I went outside to pick a rose and there was a lady walking her dog. She lives near us and has been living in this neighborhood since she was 19. She talked to me for sooooo long. At first it was pretty interesting because she was telling me about the people who used to live in the houses around us, but in the end she was describing in detail her favorite...

I’ve always mildly disliked Conan O’Brien, but after reading this, I have to admit it: damn. He’s good.
The only person who could dislike Conan O’Brien!

Hey Canadian readers! Can any of you tell me how on earth your country comes up with postal codes? It’s mind boggling and quite annoying when I’m trying to address envelopes.

My family is all from Canada….and no. I have no idea. lol
I’m not sure of the reasoning of why BC follows ‘V’, or Manitoba follows ‘R’, but it looks to go from East...
I am hope I am not let down

THE PLOT. Though billed as a Jonas Brothers movie, “Camp Rock” actually stars Demi Lovato, the newest entry from Disney’s tween star machine. Ms. Lovato, 15, plays Mitchie Torres, a young singer-songwriter who is only granted admittance to a prestigious rock camp after her mother becomes a chef there. Ashamed of her (comparative) poverty, Mitchie hides behind a fake persona...
My mom sold the house I grew up in, I’ll never get to go back. It already felt a lot different because a couple years ago the entire side lot (1/2 acre lot next to us, used to be a greenhouse) was torn down and now there’s a cul-de-sac full of houses. I wonder how long it will be until it is torn down too?

(A mom and little girl are waiting in line. I watch from a different line.)
Little Girl: “Can I have this candy?”
Mom: “No, put it back.”
Little Girl: “But that’s not fair! That’s not fair!”
Mom: “Cut that out!”
Little Girl: *takes a deep breath and calms down, then turns to her mom* “I’m killing you. I’m going to kill you.”
Mom: “…”
One amazing thing about freshly-picked vegetables is that they stay fresh WAY longer than store bought ones.
So Portland

Some of my friends are having a contest to see who can last a week using only seven ingredients for their meals. Here’s another video from Lauren’s Day 1.
I am very pro-food games. Almost everyone picked such healthy stuff!
Yoga Today →
This website is really awesome. They offer free yoga classes online, and the classes are really nice and laid back. No corny music, just some nice ladies teaching you some good stretches. I know I need to take a real life class to make sure I am doing things right, but they are really good about explaining the way things should feel.
Today I purchased a bar of peppermint soap (Dr. Bronner’s) and a bottle of lemon hand/body moisturizer (Avalon Organics). They are all nice smells and companies that I feel fine about supporting.
dalas just left for his date with Matt Davis and I realized that he took the camera! The one I needed to use! For updating my etsy shop! To make money! Boo hoo.
