best socks ever
Yesterday I got a little package from my lovely (and very talented) friend Portia. Enclosed were the nicest pair of socks a girl could ask for…
FRIDA SOCKS! I absolutely LOVE THEM! I want to wear them all the time.
Tonight I watched a movie that made me giggle like a school girl…
It was so cute and sweet, and so painfully cute and sweet, and then so disgustingly cute and pathetic and sweet. I especially liked the subway scene near the end, where he is sitting alone facing the little following he has on the other side. Reminds me of that long silent scene in an Evangelion episode.
Now class, I have a list of books for you to check out… because I think they’re fabulous and you should too!
Ms. Rubinstein’s Beauty by Pepe Montserrat is that bearded lady picture book I mentioned earlier.
Barkbelly by Cat Weatherill. And she just came out with a new book called Snowbone.
Arrival by Shaun Tan isn’t out yet. But I just happen to work in an awesome book store and got an advanced reader!!! It’s so amazing!!!! Shaun Tan’s work is spectacular as usual.
Horns and Wrinkles, by Joseph Helgerson, I’m reading at my lunches at work. I like the *rivery* things going on in it. And the river trolls are so cute!
I feel that I should at least read one adult book this year. But working in the kid’s room has put a million children’s books on my reading list. I absolutely must, at the very least, read the newest Haruki Murakami book. That will be next, right after the new Harry Potter….
