A New TV Obsession

This is my new TV obsession

 I can't stop watching this, I've almost finished season two and it keeps getting better and better. And the new show, American Horror Story? Also SO GOOD.

I other news, I am very, very tired these days. I think I may be coming down with something and it also might be a side effect of some medication I'm taking. But either way, I've been going to sleep at 8:30pm every night. I'm a freakin' old lady. I hope this goes away soon.

Do you have any new TV obsessions? Tell me, tell me!

I just had to share this

You won't get it unless you know about this website, in particular, this post. I laughed forever after seeing this...so awesome.

Pinning Happiness

I haven't posted in TWO WHOLE WEEKS. I don't really know what was up with that. I guess I just didn't really have much to say. Also, I've just been exhausted between work/stupid editing class/social life/gym to come up with content for ze blog. But now I am back, with a vengeance! Since Wednesdays are "pinning" days from my much overused Pinterest account, and since it has been so long since I graced the blog land with my wonderful presence (joke people, a joke), I decided to do my "happy pictures." These are pics that for some reason put a smile on my face, are beautiful, funny, but of no real use (not outfit, home decor, or cooking inspiration), but could make a nice piece of artwork. Or something. You know.

 What about you? have you found anything good on Pinterest that makes you happy or inspired? Link up in the comments!

The Week is Half Over, Friends

I realized that I didn't do a book post Monday or even a post yesterday about anything. This is pathetic really. How can I even call myself any sort of blogger? I decide to do away with the recipe posts, since I'm not cooking anything exciting these days. Instead, this will a day for repinning fun stuff from Pinterest. Exciting right?

These are just pics I find really beautiful...the dresses are like artwork. I would love to wear something like any of these one day, but doubt I will ever have the occasion though. But they sure are nice to look at.

Next week I'll do a larger pin, I'm just plum wiped out this week folks.

(Early) Birthday Weekend

Every year, my mom and I spend a weekend in San Francisco for my birthday. We eat delicious food, shop, laugh, and drink massive quantities of champagne. This year was no exception. My birthday isn't for nearly a month, so we celebrated early and had an absolutely wonderful time! We went to the opera, ate a several amazing restaurants, shopped until we dropped, and hit up the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. All in all, pretty freakin' fun, if I do say so myself.

Now, photos!

I have to say, the Academy of Sciences is way cool and I'm so glad I finally got to go! I highly, highly recommend checking it out, and definitely see the planetarium show. So worth it.

And how was your weekend?

Solutions

Yesterday was a not so great day. I'll spare the details, but I spent FIVE HOURS on the phone with tech support. Yeah. Ugh.

So to brighten my thoroughly dark mood Amy and I decided to go to dinner and drink at our favorite:

Left Bank. Of course.

We ordered the mussels in white wine sauce and this French bruscetta type thing. It was delicious and exactly what I needed after such a crappy day. Along with a couple of LARGE glasses of white wine.

I went home, cuddled with a kitten and then passed out, hoping today would be a better day, and ya know what? It is! I have a solution to yesterday's problem and I'm so happy that the stress is gone. Plus I'm off early today to spend time in the city with my mama!

So, dear friends, I'm off! I hope you have a lovely weekend!

PS: No playlist today (no time). Instead, enjoy some Lady Gaga. This song put a smile on my face after such a long day, I hope it does for you  too! (Cheesy? Yes. Fun? Hells yes!)

Insert title *here*

Dudes, I am tired this week. All I want to do all day is sleep, watch Law and Order: SVU, and sleep some more. I think this is all a combination of work stuff that is annoying the crap out of me, lack of good sleep at night, and my current diet/exercise problems. As in, I need to be eating healthier and get my butt back to the gym. It's just hard with this full time job thing and I am SO TIRED all the time. Not to mention the stupid editing class I have to take for work is the most boring, tedious thing ever. I really, really am not enjoying it at all. Ugh.

What I really need to do this week is take the time to plan out some meals (mostly lunches for work) and start putting my gym stuff in my car in the morning so I have to go after work, no excuses. And I NEED to stop procrastinating and do my grammar homework before Friday.

On a happier note, I'm spending the weekend in the city with my mama for my annual San Francisco birthday extravaganza. I'm really excited; shopping, eating, the opera, the Academy of Sciences. It's going to be a great time. So I need to get my act together, like now.

Do you have any exciting weekend plans?

The Night Circus

A short post today, about books. Duh.

I first heard about The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern on Lainey then read this review on Salon and it sounded right up my alley: magic, love, CIRCUSES. But it's a pretty new release and I don't particularly like reading hardcovers because they are so heavy and bulky (lame, I know), not to mention expensive. But then I saw The Night Circus on a shelf and Barnes and Noble for 40% off and that baby had to be mine. So it is. After I get through at least half of the sixs book I'm reading, I will start The Night Circus and I'm excited. I mean, look at that awesome cover art, right?

In other news, I want these boots, like, soooo bad. I think their fringi-ness could save the world, don't you?
