Escapism

Books

I had a headache for two days! I don't understand how karma works I am soooo nice. What did I do to deserve that pain?! Fortunately, today I feel great and in about 20 minutes I'm off of work! And speaking of  "work". Today at "work" I finished The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan. I highly recommend it...if you're into eating. One thing I'm taking from this book that I firmly believe in is: "...a meal that is eaten  in full conciousness of what it took to make it is worth preparing every now and again, if only as a way to remind us of the true cost of the things we take for granted."
Next I'm going to read Memoirs of a Geisha...I hope it's good.

32 is still a goddamn number

32 is the number of days I have left here in Hokkaido. Gonna make it count. The next 32 days I will be wearing my smile rain or shine, thinking about which clothes I'll be leaving behind and hoping that future is full of outfits like this...

Hello love

Colette is having an online sale for everyone who doesn't live in Paris! If I weren't about to be indefinitely unemployed I'd take these. I've come to the conclusion that new/niiiiiice shoes are good for one's health. You know how when you get new shoes you want to take them out. I don't have any quantitative evidence to back up this claim but I'm 99% sure that when I get new shoes I walk waaaaaay more than usual. First of all I wear them around the house to break them in for at least 3 hours and then I take out. I show them all of my favorite spots, I take them to meet my friends, to the park, etc. Man I love things that are good for my health.  Now all I need is a job and then I can start in investing in Lanvin ballerines my health!

Eau yeah!

I am too excited! I just read that starting July 1st Starbucks will be free and unrestricted Wi-Fi in its stores AND free access to paid content sites (!!!!) which means in bypassing the NYT's upcoming paywall restrictions. The catch: this amazingness will be offered in U.S. stores and conveniently I'm moving back the U.S. this fall! Don't worry Giselle & Bella I'll email you all of the good articles :)

Les femmes c'est du chinois

Le comprenez-vous? Moi pas. I also don't understand where to get a white jumpsuit on this island!

I admit that while in Spain, I was on the fence when it came to low crotch pants BUT this jumpsuit leaves me with nooooo doubt in my mind. I want it. Give it up!
