says june 2007's toronto life: "console yourself over summer's fourth wedding invitation" with a pair of $450 etro heels. what, was some socialite crying because her social life was simply too stellar? did the fourth wedding invitation overlap with her manicurist's vacation? I hope she doesn't have to do her own nails!
having been curious regarding the edibility of spleen for some time, you can imagine how elated I was when I stumbled across chef fergus henderson's recipe for rolled pig's spleen.
why yes, thanks for noticing everyone, may 2007 did just break into top position with 37 posts.
moss not doing so hot. no evidence of growth. plenty of organic aromas, however. currently the lead suspect for the source of this offensive perfume is the sludge water in the bottom of the moss rock's container. mila just tried to make me clean it out, but I suggested she do it, being the expert horticulturalist. so we are now in a moss standoff. she might think she can outlast me by camping out in her office, but perhaps she does not realize how much internet I can browse in one sitting.
well, back to craigslist. I see some knock-off arco lamps that I shall have to look into. they are quite reasonably priced!
every time I saw her today, she was walking around holding a diet pop. also, she has taken to adding coffeemate (low-fat french vanilla) to her coffee. what next? white sneakers to clinic? cat calendars in her office? humpday celebrations?
I think my ideal career would be reclusive celeb. all the perks of celebrity - living in a hotel, foie burgers every day, johnny depp lending you his island, free manbags, a table at el bulli at the drop of a hat - but none of the constant requirement for impeccable personal hygiene.
google keeps telling me I can make money off my blog by putting some ads in. this is great, because I need an ipod. everyone has one of these except me. I am not 100% certain yet that I would listen to it that much, but I do feel very left out without one.
anyway, this bonus cash works out particularly nicely for me, since by the time that blogging has completely usurped studying in my daily life and I fail out of school by consequence, I will be making so much filthy lucre from google that I will need a new refrigerator just to hold the mind-boggling quantities of foie that will be flowing through EV HQ. who needs school when you are a wealthy blog tycoon?
four seasons, you have really done it this time. while I do confess that "her study" in your west tower residence G looks quite pleasant, what with the sofa and desk and coffee table and occasional chairs strewn about, I was unable to find "his study" anywhere on the floor plan. am I supposed to hang out in the general purpose "library?" or perhaps I will have to spend my evenings in one of the two "galleries?" you are kidding yourself if you think I am going to relax with the latest economist in the rather casual-sounding "family room." and surely you do not expect me to unwind in the "staff lounge."
also it is really nice that "her ensuite" gets a spa tub and a shower and a makeup table and a bidet and a toilet and a spacious vanity, but you seem to have left most of those components out of "his ensuite." in fact, I dare say it is scarcely larger than the powder room next to the walk-in coat closet.
you have got some explaining to do, four seasons.
yahoo says a walk after a heavy meal is good for your heart:
"sir, chef is very excited to fire the next course for you, but you are very welcome to take a stroll in our rooftop garden before we continue. just say the word and I will tell chef to hold your scottish grouse until you return [nothing like a nice game bird to chase the previous course's foie. for the mme, perhaps a squab breast sous-vide]. chef's baby mâche is coming along nicely - he would be most pleased if you gave it a try, I am certain," said my waiter as he signalled for the champagne cart in order to select a vintage for rooftop quaffing.
I am such an advocate for health.
paella I thought you were great but now I realize you are a one dish meal. well that sure is not going to fly so I will find a way to use some more pots, do not worry.
I'll bet you think you are pretty cool karim rashid, with your karimanifesto on your website and your miscellaneous plastic karim shapes instead of words. that makes it really hard to navigate your website you know. also your veuve clicquot chair is the dumbest thing I have seen in a long time. and lose the glasses.
thank you for the outpouring of support everyone. I bought a bag of swedish berries yesterday. and then I stowed them in my belly.
hey meredith grey, here's an idea: why don't you pay a visit to mark sloan and get him to fix that bad case of looking like a forty year old that you seem to have contracted? while you are at it, maybe you could get someone to take a look at that flare-up of please leave the show you are the most annoying person I have ever seen.
p.s. do not worry george, I am sure they just made an adding error or something.
why does no one ever seem to make pork stock? I have a pot of pork water sitting on the stove and I would like to reduce it and make some nice pork demiglace or something.
p.s. pork stock is the new beef stock, you heard it here first.
I think I might grow a moss on a rock. if I see a nice rock by the river on my way home from school tomorrow I will probably take it home with me.
I was thinking about lichen but then I saw a website that said they grow 8 mm a year or something like that. do I look like I am made of time?
p.s. I am not going to lie, I was inspired by an article that said moss is the new grass. this article also said trapezoid was the new square and velcro the new magnet. oh yeah and paper-mache is the new taxidermy.
wow I am actually feeling quite parched. it is probably because of my burn.
also could I have a fresh ice pack please? some morphine would probably be nice too.
I burned my thumb tonight. I was removing some wick ash from a pillar candle with a pair of tweezers, but the candle happened to be on at the time and it kind of heated up my thumb skin a bit too much I guess.
I should certainly hope it goes without saying, but I am going to have to take it easy on the studying for the next while. all that page turning would only exacerbate my injury, I fear.
on the upside, I got out of washing dishes. angered at having to do the dishes twice within a seven day period, however, mila treated me to a constant barrage of heckling while I dried and tidied. it was actually quite exhausting. I hope they never let mila in at yuk-yuks. the poor comedians would never stand a chance with her in the audience.
I watched the garbage men collect the recycling bins from outside our building today. well, recycling men, really. or to be precise, recycling man and standing around man. I would not have been pleased if I were the recycling man, that is for sure.
anyway they came by in their truck today and collected the paper recycling and the plastic/glass recycling. now the problem for these two waste management individuals is that I am wise to their game. I saw them dump both paper and plastic/glass into the same truck. good thing I wasn't reading my school notes!
needless to say, I immediately investigated the situation, and I see two possible explanations: first, it is possible that these men were operating some manner of split-body truck. for instance, Heil Environmental Co. offers its flagship RapidRail truck in a one-pass co-collector model featuring on the fly body compartment selection and improved cordaflex loader harness. but I looked pretty carefully at the truck today, and it did not appear to be a split-body vehicle.
this leaves possible explanation number two: co-mingled collection. by way of example, the city of raleigh, NC sometimes collects multiple waste products simultaneously and then sorts at the depot. raleigh's claims to the contrary, this seems highly innefficient; surely the great municipality of london is one step ahead of raleigh in this regard.
if this second scenario does prove to be the case, perhaps a call is in order to a comptroller or deputy mayor or someone to let them know about recent advances in segregated single-stream trash collection. I could send them Heil's website, which was after all most informative.
incidentally, it was a region of halton truck. the city of london seems to operate its own division of waste management, so I really do not understand why we had a halton truck.
