in london. sky news is giving a lot of news coverage over a stuck ride in miami-dade county fair. weird.
Nancy’s in the U.K. and what did she give me at the arrivals gate? Samoas, Trefoils, and Crasins. I love my mother.
i’ve maxed out my 30GB ipod now. perfect.

Josh: “Toby, come quick. Sam’s getting his ass kicked by a girl” Toby: “Ginger, get the popcorn!” Seasons 1-4 were always my favorite.
rainy oxford weather, west wing circa 1st and 2nd season, clean house, tea, and consumer society research. the conditions are perfect.

personal battle of the night: finding a hotel in knightsbridge that makes penny-pinchin mom & design-freak grace happy. so far, nil.
taking a break from researching with a pint of g&d oxford blue ice cream. yum.
Pentagram - What type are you? →
Answer 4 questions and the Freud shrink with the spazzy hands will tell you what your font type is. I got emotional, understated, progressive, and disciplined. My type is archer hairline.
I’m not sure why I’m playing all these quizzes. I think it’s because I don’t want to do my research.

The Selby
The Selby is quickly becoming one of my favorite websites. The mission statement of Todd Selby is to offer an intimate view into the habitats of creative individuals. The attention to detail and the light-hearted, Pivot-like questionaire serve as bursts of inspiration.
One of my favorite ones is the episode with The Mast Brothers, two brothers who own and run The Mast Brothers Chocolate...
now i’m craving gnocchi with good italian sausage and pannacotta. what is going on??
the more research i’m doing for my honors prospectus on post-consumerism, the more i realize that i’m meant for marketing/advertising.
also interesting is the quality of results i get from google in the uk. uk results are more interesting and have more depth.
