style isn't always what you wear, it's in all you do... walk, talk, converse-- even on the internet. have some grace, my loves, and you will prosper. *xox* 

after dinner party of 1

***images posted! xox***

so, exhausted from the hour of stirring and mixing and staring at the amazing rising action and the cleaning frenzy- i had to deal with the leftovers. i know i still owe it to the meal to post images, though they are still trapped in my phone & nikon too.... so, it's not that i don't like cleaning, as person with a self diagnosed case of mild OCD its kind of nice and the sense of accomplishment is great, it's the wrapping of the loaf in the tin foil... i felt like i was a newbie waiter wrapping lobster to look like a duck for someone to take home after a date. finally after a yard or so of tin foil i think i managed my mother's envelope style.. dare i have any for breakfast after that feat?
listening to-- the dishwasher. and the washing machine.

also-- binx has acquired a new nickname at some point over this last past holiday season, "banana," so you could imagine this cat whom i love and convinced knows the english language through and through eventually went to bed early after flashing me several odd looks while perched on the granite at the sink while i mixed and stirred saying " tonight, my love, we dine on banana bread, after it bakes in the hot oven of course! "

i couldn't have gotten through typing this with out my hot choco cup of keurig made cocoa. with marshmallows. mmmmm. now i must retire to the heating pad and not dread what tomorrow will bring with the weather and my marine like massive to do list, *sigh* it's so intimidating i am sure i won't want to get out of bed,, but i will to a cup of joe and a banana bread and scope out these vintage shops only a few blocks away, even if i have to ice skate there. maybe i'll go in for that library card too and quit dwelling on my sea of books which are not in my ikea billy's.

today , things were simple .

today it wasn't about fashion or style. today i told someone i loved i was sorry before i read an email where they had apologized first.
today i didn't dwell that i didn't order Hunter boots sooner because it is cold and windy and snowing again. nor did i wear my new bean boots that could do the job fine in this slippery weather where in had to run out to the ever so urban supermarket. rather, i put on a (dirty) pair of comfy DKNY jeans with a hoodie and my oldest pair of ugg boots.
today i didn't think about New York but about maybe moving to Baltimore instead. in a few years, maybe not in 6 months.
Today i am not renting a movie or two off itunes or buying a bunch of music to past the time since my books didn't make the move into my new home. today i am cooking chili to beat the time and baking banana bread, i haven't baked in while unless cookies count...
it's amazing how stylish and relieving the most simple things are. Binx was sick today but doing much better. i was keeping my self pretty anonymous on this but it is now open public for people to read and how many have cat named Binx? thank you Florida for having me, thank you kindly it was time to leave though and that is that. thank you NC for making me miserable at times, because sometimes out of that shitty missery comes a bit of sweet bliss, like turning rotten fruit into something delicious and decoding a family recipe and making my own by adding a few things like 2 cloves of garlic.. though i still don't know what a pinch of salt is. xoxo pics of food soon. i promise. and so it seems food can soothe the heart and soul and mind, at least cooking it, no one said you had to eat it-- and something else to throw in as a garnish, for every friend gone missing there seems to be another to appear. it's all so odd i quit thinking too much about it.
listening too: 'Pagan Angel & Borrowed Car' by Iron & Wine. also listening to: 'In this City' by Iglu & Hartly

cinema or costuming

i know i haven't been reporting much on fashion, art, or the like-- it seems just going on about movies on this blog like i am just a couch potato, a guru or connoisseur of cinema perhaps... well. i do like movies i never said i didn't and sometimes that is all...no... sometimes that is what you will get. surely you've been getting the coverage from the fashion weeks. and if you are like me you are waiting on some friends to recover... so much ado about nothing? depends. at least i am writing again and found this old thing. will let you know if i go to wordpress or typepad. xo and thanks for reading. ... someone is reading i presume...

have you seen it? kinda like it too much. it worries me. that i like it . as much. as i do ... produced by lichtenstein.



....if you want my commentary on this one ,,,, see the itunes store, i gave it a shout out. yes, i am "birdlamp" and i also asked itunes for my $ back for "love happens" though aniston did look cute in her Hunter boots and scarves and oh! that reminds me, i ordered a slouchie beanie from NY,,, so what it's March. i started buying for spring in january and i'm back into winter, it's cold here. so what. it's what ever. maybe i'm a little bit posey. parker posey. Jane rather. ...did you watch the clip? it's avail on tv on demand or itunes. itunes-->addicted.

i think it is so tempting to lie and that is why so many want to be famous; it is easier for us, then, to not see what is really true in them.

i just wear sunglasses.
