Oh god, it's wonderful.

These Simply Breakfasts make me want to learn to fry an egg without breaking the yoke, and run out to buy avocados:

I really like Hello Bum's flickr. It's rare to see current photography with girls who are not stick-thin. She makes me want to get over my shyness and lounge around in '60s lingerie.

I agree:

One Week Today

Yesterday I drove past three old bikes lying on the side of my street. There was a large sign that said 'Free' next to them so I drove in reverse for a good five minutes until I got to them. I am now the happy owner of a Schwinn Collegiate. It has a basket (!) and three-speeds and is probably from, what, the '70s? Its sort of rideable.

Hopefully it will up my chances of being photographed by the Satorialist.

Also I got my nose pierced today. Unfortunately all they had was a diamond stud which I HATE but I really wanted to just get it done. I'm looking forward to switching to a form-fitted hoop.

Moving one week from today. I'm amazed I made it. But I'm not depressed or whatever I was so much anymore. I just kind of have this vague anger or bitterness, mostly before I go to bed.

Go watch all of these.

Don't Be Vain.

Though if love was an animal, Garret knew, it would probably be the Loch Ness Monster. If it didn’t exist, that didn’t matter. People made models of it, put it in the water, and took photos. The hoax of it was good enough. The idea of it. Though some people feared it, wished it would just go away, had their lives insured against being eaten alive by it.

I'm going to make things like this today for my room:

Reoccurring Thoughts

-This would taste better with salt.

-It's all in your head, no one else is thinking that about you.

-I want to do more drugs.

-I remember thinking the kids on the real world were a lot more ~wild when I little.

-FFFFFFF Why did I eat that?

-Is attaching my picture on the craigslist waitressing ads I answer "just to put a face to a name" desperate? Yes, yes it is.

-My mouth hurts bad.

-I'm drowning and flailing in this town.

-This is the worst weather I've ever seen in a summer. Ever.

Things I Want This Fall:

-Oxford shoes (and an Oxford shirt. I'm so nerdy?!?!):

-Magical princess hair:

-A black winter coat with a military collar

-Jeans that actually fit me

-A beanie hat

-Whatever I can afford to look like belong I in an Anthropologie catalogue.

Randomness:

Golden-Pony Boy!

BRB VOMZ EVERYWHERE:

It's probably the fur that anoretics get due to starvation and their body trying to stay warm. I watched part of the Top Chef with her on and she's a vegan who also doesn't eat gluten or soy...which leaves her with fruits, veggies, and...nuts?

all i eat is special k, lean cuisines and butter. idk which of those three is making me OBESE. 

"I don't know. Poets are always taking the weather so personally. They're always sticking their emotions in things that have no emotions" -Salinger, Nine Stories

Music: I recently went to a free concert and saw Ra Ra Riot, Passion Pit and Metric. I now really need to buy Ra Ra Riot's album. To do that I have to go the the "genius bar" and fix my itunes. I'd rather gargle anti-freeze. Metric's set was wonderful because they went acoustic so it sounded much more like Emily Haines' solo project, Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton. 

I also need Deerhunter's new CD, and his side project, Atlas Sound. This song, Walkabout, features Panda Bear.

Books: I read a large part of Eugenides' collection of love stories. It has so many great names in it and I would love to own a copy. I liked Jon by George Saunders the best.

I also read Self-Help by Loorie Moore and adored it.

Now I am reading The Yellow House by Martin Gayford. It is about the last year of Vincent van Gogh's life in southern France when he lived with Paul Gauguin. I took a contemporary art course and I think my teacher read this exact book. I am still waiting to read about when Vincent would jump all over Paul hoping for cuddles and tickles fights.
