For a Lesson in Coolness

....look no farther than to the blog that accompanies the Foundtrack mixtape.

For all things stylish and modern, you'll have a sore time finding a better blog than the Foundtrack. The well informed editors churn out blogs on the latest in fashion, music, cinema, and art faster than you can read a page of their posts. So, try and make yourself a little cooler and read some new posts. No doubt you will be googling some hip new bands and fashion designers when you finish reading.

Cake Love

In the words of Tracy Jordon, "happy Valentimes day!"

Daniel really spoiled me on Valentines day this year. He came home with two dozen roses and a massive chocolate cake. After eating copious amounts of the dense cake for a few days, we were both shocked when we stepped on the scale. Who knew cake could do that?

Beatrice is Two!!

On Saturday Daniel and I drove up to Baltimore for my niece's 2nd birthday party. Mike and Jo had some of their friends over and there were two other babies, both younger than Bea. There was delicious cake and fruit with fondue. Beatrice got numerous presents, including a new princess barbie doll. She and Elmo recently suffered a bad break-up because she was spending too much time with princess. She's pretty much over Elmo now, but they see each other from time to time.

start of a children's story??

Frodo, Frodo, no stew for you!

Her mother, perhaps the kindest person in the world, started lavishing the young couple with ample amounts of her cooking. Chicken pie, Shepard's pie, beef stew, and steak for D.

The couple would eat what they could for a few days and then invariably passed the left overs on to the dogs. Most of the food, you may have noticed, tended to be on the heartier side of cooking thus, leading their doting, diminutive dogs to acquire rather large appetites.

One day when Kat was away and wasn't at home to feed the dogs, she heard reports from D that the dogs had ravenously devoured three bowls of dry dog food.

Kat came home and noticed that the sweet little rolls around Frodo's neck had become substantially fuller and it was with great difficulty that she lifted him in to bed that night.

Lemon Out!

The only shows D and I watch together every week are the office, followed by 30 Rock. Enjoy this video of Liz Lemon's best moments. I love how she says "Lemon out" when she's done something really dorky and must leave the room.
