*drool*

Oh my god, I want all of these dresses. Except the ones that were worn at the Oscars.

my favorite is the last one:
ok now I'm going to watch Project Runway. Can't they just show us the Bryant Park collections already??

Has anyone else besides me seen the cover of the most recent New Yorker? If not I will attempt to show you:

This is the life of a book. Actually, I feel like they are trying to tell me that this is soon to be the story of my life. Me, specifically, of course. (In case you can't tell what the last pic is, there are two hobos burning the book for warmth. Yah.)

Not that I've written anything of note lately. But I could become any of those people on the top row: writer, agent, or editor. And for what? The book's just going to end up in a trash can somewhere.

Unless..... unless something can be done about this whole, I don't read thing. Did you know that only 57% of adults in this country say they read a book in the past year (just one book!). That's ridiculous! (Says the girl who just spent several hours on Facebook updating iRead to include 70 something books and is right now restraining herself from adding more).

Anyway, in light of all this I found this article extremely interesting: http://www.newsweek.com/id/70983 and I know it's long but it's so intriguing! And possibly the reason for the New Yorker's cover, or at least having something to do with the death of the book.

Because that's what we're coming to, people. No more paper, no more moldy pages. Oh my God, what will this mean in terms of having to buy textbooks for school?? Needless to say, just because the first version of the Kindle is doing so well, that doesn't mean we'll be loosing the need for books anytime soon. But in the not so distant future, I think books will be a relic akin to vinyl records, and instead of the transitional medium of CDs, we'll have some magic device that contains all our books, magazines, music, Internet, and God knows what else in one handy dandy contraption. I personally can't wait.

just a normal thursday

Or so I kept trying to tell myself yesterday. I got up for my 9:30 recitation somehow, and then when I came back to try and nap those plans were foiled. Alas, I ate lunch and headed off to the Museum of Natural History instead.

I had to wait forever for the C train to come, and there were all these groups (gangs, really, but not) of teenagers standing around on the platform too, being loud and carrying balloons, stuffed animals, flowers, you name it. Thanks guys. That made me feel special.

But the museum was really cool. I kept thinking of Stephen Colbert being an astrophysicist the whole time I was doing my Cosmic Walk thing. But the best part was when I came home and and Sam said he would take Rachel's extra ticket to the Rufus Wainwright concert so that meant I could go too! (Cuz I didn't want to go by myself).

Anyway, then after my siesta I had something to look forward to. We trooped up to Radio City Music Hall and the concert was pretty frickin fantastic. Didn't quite take my mind off the holiday, but it was certainly better than sitting at my computer being angry and sad and not getting any work done. Plus Rufus and Sean Lennon did a Beatles tribute, Across the Universe, and that was sweet.

I think I'm still gloomy with leftover holiday blues though. That, or I have a lot of work to do this weekend and that thought in itself is just depressing. But I have to say, the city itself it good right now. Museums, concerts, and tonight hanging out at friends' apartments, going to a club. Not bad for February. If only I didn't have such a long TO DO list.

And you
