Question = answered.
The day the Beatles came to iTunes. Just another day I’ll never forget.
What does it mean?!?!
Simple Times with the one & only, Amy Sedaris
Back for round two (round one being the hilarity that was I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence) she’s just released her witty, cute and recession- friendly craft book, Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People!
I have yet to get my paws on a copy of this, but I can only imagine what kind of glorified bric-a-brac she throws together. Oh, Amy.
Everybody, meet today’s socks.
Today’s socks, everybody.
Also, today is a glorious day as I’ve finally located my PASSPORT! (It’s been missing since August…)
These two things, paired with listening to Abbey Road make for a lax, lovely Saturday afternoon.

An Ode to November.
I THINK NOVEMBER is the month with the loveliest name — to me the word implies a transitory beauty, fall to frost, the heavier jacket, thicker socks, and teatime all the time.
‘NOVEMBER’ rolls off the tongue. Try saying it in a British accent and it sounds twice as nice, or write it in your best cursive, it looks regal.
NOVEMBER means polls, unwillingly dragging the ice scraper out from the trunk (seems like I just put it there in May), turning on the heater, the resulting spike in my utility bill, another turkey-less Thanksgiving, and beginning the count until the ever-nearing holiday, “Christmas.”
Finally, the Gorillaz said it best: November has come.
Hallow
In my “Halloween costume,” e.g. what I wore to work for Halloween. I was a Boy Scout from Troop 228 in Milwaukee, WI — which you can’t really see very well in the photo, my bad!
A shout out to the blogger known as “Carl” for the giant contribution to my costume (you’re quite the Cub Scout yourself)!
And of course, much chocolate was consumed.
