hooked on garance dore

this is an awesome blog. love the illustrations, the photos, and the texts, of course. just though I’d share it here b/c I’m bubbling with the excitement from discovering this!

oh, I wish I could look as good in red lipstick as I do in red nail polish. everytime i tried, and trust me I’ve tried a couple of times, I just end up looking freakishly scary. maybe I’m doomed to a neutral/peachy color as far as lip colors go :\

several days ago, i had a white fluffy rug on my bathroom floor. it was getting a bit dirty, so I decided to throw it into the washer because the tag said it was machine wash safe. but when I took it out, it was dripping wet, and the color darkened into a unrecognizable…beige? that’s the best way I can put it. in any case, I threw it into the dryer, hoping that in an hour, it will go back being the white fluffy rug that I bought. but of course, it was still wet when I got it out of the dryer. I then spend the next THREE days drying this thing by air, and it’s still a strange beige color.

moral of the story? don’t machine wash your rugs, i guess.

weekly dynamic

it’s only the beginning, but time seems to be moving so fast I’m already wondering if it’s near the weekend, though not in the I-Can’t-Wait sense. but thankfully it’s only tuesday afternoon. which means, I still have more than half of the week left to finish the ever daunting and never ending amount of work I have ~ Tuesday afternoon

thursdays are brutal. today was particularly so. after a failed quick in corporate finance, i had to sit through two more classes, with a visit to the student health for half an hour in between. then there was the Kristof talk, which by the way, was amazing. i enjoyed it so much I didn’t even notice that i was starving until it was almost 10. i am always so burned out at the end of thursday that even though there is usually something that still needs to be done for friday. i guess this is what i get for taking 5.5 classes? I haven’t really felt this busy since, I dunno, freshman year? the only consolation out of all this is that i do find my classes interesting, though altogether demanding. i love what I’m doing, but I don’t like the feeling of racing against time constantly. but what can I do? this is the life I chose.

I’m so tired I can barely feel anything else.
