Not so humble pie

Oh my god I just died a little on the inside. (All credit for pieces of food perfection go to not so humble pie.)

Snow is overplayed

Prior in my twelve years of public schooling, we had maybe a total of one or two snow days as declared by the mayor of NYC. In the last two weeks alone we had two. So over the snow. Soooo over it.

Moleskine’s new “Passion” series

A lot of these are superfluous (you need to spend $15 to jot down a list of movies you watched?) and caters to a certain demographic in mind (think: the wealthy literate who have time for wine tastings and film viewings and recipe divulges) but … stationery BONER.

They even have videos for each planner!

It’s cold

It was windy today. Windy and cold.

The more I work and the more I come in contact with “the real world,” the more I stress myself out. I keep imposing impossible deadlines on myself that shouldn’t exist at all. Nobody is expecting these things of me and I have to allow myself a learning curve. It’s not like those I admire didn’t go through a similar learning curve before they got to be where they are today. Stop making things impossible for yourself.

Another completely unrelated thing is that I take very little pictures of myself. And very little pictures get taken of me. I just don’t hang around a lot of photo people, what can I say? I take a ton of pictures of everyone else but that’s what I am, the person behind the camera and that’s where I’m most comfortable. Some people are meant to be in front of the camera. Whether they shine in front of it, or they just happen to have friends who like to photograph them, they’re just meant to constantly be in front of the camera even if it’s not their desire to be. Funny how things work out.

I’m actually aching from exhaustion right now

Busy weeks = hazardously written post-it notes hazardously taped all over my computer. I’m trying to adjust to a new and excruciatingly jammed schedule, and so far I’m not adjusting well. That equals long nights and a severe lack of sleep. Woe :(

(So much dust!)
