last night, i met one of my favorite writers, Simon Rich, and got my book signed. i love all his work, and if you don’t enjoy it, we probably shouldn’t be friends.

i am still giddy and nerdily proud that i have gotten to chat with all 3 of my favorite authors. holy trinity. triple crown. other things that come in 3.

AJ Jacobs, Sloane Crosley and Simon Rich, thanks for making my world and brain a brighter place!

thought i’d post a few more photos of my apartment for my far-away friends, now that the art wall is finally complete! the best thing about my overpriced box is the giant window; if you crane your head just right, you can see across the river.

so exciting to be past the part of my life where everything was from Target/IKEA (though i still love IKEA things, like my lamp!!); i’d say my current apt is 60% West Elm, 30% IKEA and 10% CB2. lots of blues + a varying spectrum of greige <3

one day i will be able to afford 100% Room & Board, right? ;)

so many options

where do i put the nails?

FINALLY.

when i moved into my Brooklyn apartment in the summer of 2011, i thought, “hey, i should have a little art wall in the space above my desk.” little did i realize this would take me almost 2 years to accomplish. granted i procrastinated ~~a little~~ a year, but this is not a simple task.

1) you have to buy some frames and pick out what goes in them (which came first, the chicken or the egg? i had to parallel-path this). i’m still not sure if i’m fully committed to the art i currently have up.

2) then you gotta figure out how you’re gonna arrange them (photo 1), and harass your two best friends to help you settle on the best option (thank you C & A).

3) once you decide on a layout, you need to hammer some nails in your walls (thank goodness for West Elm’s handy pink papers that come with their frames).

i can never leave my current apartment now because who knows how long it would take me to do this again? also, i have no idea how to patch up nail holes in the wall.

Someday, all my books will be together again…’til then, just my favsies live with me in my studio apartment. (well, and the books I picked up after moving because I have a book purchasing control problem.)

the hardest thing about moving all the time is having to edit down my book collection (not pictured: the bookhoarding happening at both my parents’ respective homes).

my tumblr is not the best vehicle to discuss logos and branding, but up until just recently, i thought people wearing Phillies caps worked for/were really into Path or Pinterest.

i suppose fans of these respective brands wouldn’t be confused, but for the longest time i was like “weird, i guess Pinterest has a larger male following than i thought?” nope, wrong.

*Brand New is my preferred place to nerd out about these types of things.
