went apple picking upstate. real pictures to come post trip, but for now here is one of me perfecting my best stupid scarecrow face.
also, made some apple-nadas for the enid's apple pie baking contest. no excuses, but my entry was not up to par. i'm going to come back with a vengeance next year though, so watch out to all the other cute brunette brooklyn girls who entered.

Between working, socializing, procrastinating packing and planning for my very-soon-approaching trip, and general weirdness, I haven't had time to post. I'll try to fix that before I go, but don't hold your breath...
too lazy to care
if had the energy, i'd goog how to post an mp3 so i didn't have to put this youtube up, but i don't! 3 days as a tour guide for your mom and cousin will do that to you.
anyway, really into this song right now. can't wait to see what else mr kudi has coming for us (aurally, not visually...realllllly not a fan of this video)

nice legs
this kills me! i wish jcrew had a sense of humor and these lace tights were some sort of halloween joke, but unfortunately, i think it's just one of those things that managed to squeak by the numerous corporate checkpoints somehow. but how?! isn't it so obvious? maybe some disgruntled higher-up noticed but played mum to get his rocks off.

i know i've encountered it before, but i was recently reunited with milton glaser's "10 Things I Have Learned." glaser, a pretty famous graphic designer, is responsible for the I <3 NY logo and is one of the co-founders of New York magazine. anyhow, the essay comes from a speech he gave at an AIGA conference in 2001...and though some of it is design-centric, a lot of it is personable material anybody can relate to...
some of my favorite excerpts include:
SOME PEOPLE ARE TOXIC AVOID THEM.
And the important thing that I can tell you is that there is a test to determine whether someone is toxic or nourishing in your relationship with them. Here is the test: You have spent some time with this person, either you have a drink or go for dinner or you go to a ball game. It doesn’t matter very much but at the end of that time you observe whether you are more energised or less energised. Whether you are tired or whether you are exhilarated. If you are more tired then you have been poisoned. If you have more energy you have been nourished.
HOW YOU LIVE CHANGES YOUR BRAIN.
We tend to believe that the mind affects the body and the body affects the mind, although we do not generally believe that everything we do affects the brain. I am convinced that if someone was to yell at me from across the street my brain could be affected and my life might changed. That is why your mother always said, ‘Don’t hang out with those bad kids.’ Mama was right. Thought changes our life and our behaviour.
DOUBT IS BETTER THAN CERTAINTY.
Deeply held beliefs of any kind prevent you from being open to experience, which is why I find all firmly held ideological positions questionable. It makes me nervous when someone believes too deeply or too much. I think that being sceptical and questioning all deeply held beliefs is essential. ..... Some years ago I read a most remarkable thing about love, that also applies to the nature of co-existing with others. It was a quotation from Iris Murdoch in her obituary. It read ‘ Love is the extremely difficult realisation that something other than oneself is real.’
ON AGING.
Rule number one is that ‘it doesn’t matter.’ ‘It doesn’t matter that what you think. Follow this rule and it will add decades to your life.
i also love that he hates when 'creative' is used as a noun...as in "that dude is a creative." no! don't do that!

you can try to wrap your head around the 'how' right here
sam also did another one of these on coachella
sam said he was inspired by the seminal 1982 film Koyaanisqatsi (with a soundtrack by Philip Glass!), which i've never seen...but the depths of youtube have the whole film so you can get your fix. here's the trailer to pique your interest...

it is my life long dream to ride in a hot air balloon. when i was growing up, before my hometown blew up into a mega-burb, my small neighborhood was surrounded by fields and corn fields where many a hot air balloon landed every spring and summer. we would run through the fields to check out the landing and clean up.

weakest episode of late, though they did do a good job of driving home...
kinda into it
moleskine/iphone combo? i do always have both on me...and if my iphone had been in this, the screen wouldn't have cracked when i dropped it last week. i do think the ipad one makes more sense though. they definitely have a pretty distinct 'collegiate' feel to them. alright, now i've talked myself into not liking them.
btw if you ever suffer a broken iphone screen go to dr brendan - cheapest price i found and dude fixes it while you wait, all while offering some fine conversation.
