If you are my fairy godmother
Feel free to buy me this living room set. BEAUTIFUL. (potential sugardaddys are also welcome, I don't want to discriminate based on gender). Modern, vintage, green, teak. Drooling...

Wrap it Up
I used to think I wasn't a scarf person, but ones like this by Martin Lemothe make me seriously reconsider. Pricey, but beautiful-- if you can find an economical version, I'll send you a prize.

Please Register to Vote
I've never care about politics until now. This is the most important election of our generation. Please rock it. Today is the last day. Go here.
Weekend Report
Spent part of the weekend in Sacramento with Rachel of Darlybird (or rather Darlybird is of her) engaging in a little R&D with vintage flowers and cabachons. One result was the brooch on this hat (thanks chi!).
We also hit some thrift stores where I completed my Pyrex collection (amish butterprint what woot). We also found the BEST EVER tag. It was on a pair of little boys pants. WOW.

Helmet Head
Ever since knocking my two front teeth out riding a bike as a kid, I've worn bike helmets religiously (and you should too!). These covers from Yakkay are adorable. Finally stylish head gear for bikers! Working on getting a US source.. I'll keep you posted.

Becoming Sarah Palin
Normally this blog is all about pretty things and people. But, given the importance of the upcoming election, I hope you'll indulge me. This article from Slate on Sarah Palin's speech (found via D.Sharp) is very interesting-- remember diagramming sentences in jr. high English?
On a more serious note, I do think that it is imporant to really know what's going on in this campaign. I recommend this article (and the New Yorker in general) for the thoroughness of its research on the facts. Every news outlet has some bias, but ones with a lot of fact checking are better.

So Lucky
Growing up I moved around a lot. All over the world, and often. I always wondered what it would be like to have the same best friend K-12. The result of this is that I'm sorta like human saran wrap-- once we become friends, I'm difficult to shake-- no matter how many time zones are between us. I'm blessed to call many of the most talented, creative, kind, nurturing, fun, good, happy, caring, hard working, and amazing people I know friends. I'm incredibly grateful to have all of you in my life. One day I'll win the lottery and we can all move to the same city and let our kids grow up being best friends K-12. Thanks everyone for all the nice and awesome things you constantly do for me!

Beginning to Feel
A lot like Autumn.. which in my book means Hot Chocolate Season. This mug and saucer are perfect for a warm cup of chocolate and a little treat.

Mean Mondays Music
If you live in SF these guys are playing at Popscene on Thursday night. Basically the Rumble Strips are my new favorite band, so give them a listen.

Fertile
These baby shoes are so sweet. Why am I thinking about these you ask? Well, because in the last week 6 (6!!) friends have told me they are pregnant. I'm a tad fuzzy on the details, but apparently if you want to have a baby all you have to do is spend some quality time with me.... and have unprotected sex....

Twoo Lub
Something mushy going on on this Tuesday. But I just now found this adorable animation on Stephanie's blog, and I've always loved this song. So melancholy... but hopeful. If you've never seen the Devil and Daniel Johnston, watch it this weekend.
Better Off Dead
Claire turned me on to this site. I can't stop reading it-- not sure what that means. Some of them are bitter, some sweet, bittersweet, angry, mean, funny. Love. it messes with everyone, apparently. Get ready to waste some time.
A few choice words from the site (where you can anonymously send a message to an old love):
** this is my (emily) favorite

Measurement
Even though we broke up seven years ago, I still rate the way I feel about someone new on a scale that goes from Zero to You.Infinite
You were the first and only person I wanted to talk to when I heard about David Foster Wallace.** this is my (emily) favorite

Sigur Ros @ the Greek
I wrote about it here. But really happy with how some of these pictures turned out.... most are by me, a few by Adam F. who was nice enough to let me use his fancy pants camera. Iceland! The show was seriously magical.. and the rain didn't fall until the end of the encore. You really do need to listen to them now. You can see more (I took a billion but who knows when they'll make it up) here.
Seeing The Light
Even though I pretty much hate the guts of American Apparel, I have to say that this is pretty great. Vintage sunglasses-- souped up, ready to go. Buy online or at their stores. One of a kind and very very pretty.

My So Called Life
I maybe slightly shameless, and in this case soaking wet. But that's Jared Leto! And me!

DTR
Homophily is basically the idea that we like people or things that are like us-- you know birds of the feather flock together etc. During a recent concert expedition we had a chance to do a little sociological research as we played "are you my (part-time) boyfriend?" with Kristen. She was wearing this American Apparel sweatshirt, and so was every eligible guy at the show. The game goes like this-- she approaches but doesn't actually make contact with them, while us social scientists fought to get a photo that captured their love. Please vote for who should be promoted to full-time boyfriend status in the comments.
