"When Klein made his leap, he didn't levitate. He fell to Earth, as he knew he would. That inevitable fall -- and the courage to jump that precedes it -- is what his art is about."

- May your salad consist solely of those crunchy, white middle parts of the lettuce. Gross!
- May your friend borrow a piece of your jewelry and then get a million more compliments than you've ever gotten while wearing said jewelry.
- May the the restroom at your place of employment have those auto-sinks that turn on and off by themselves, and then you get so accustomed to them that everywhere you go - restaurants, friends' homes - you just hold your hands under the faucet and wait for something to happen.

OK, Fine, I'll Conquer the World, but Let Me Finish Watching "The Soup" First
This is from the store window of fancy furniture store BoConcept. I think the placement of that motivational poster above the couch is terrible, though. Who wants to be confronted with artwork plastered with statements like "What the mind can conceive you can achieve" and "If you fail to plan then you plan to fail," when all you want to do at that moment is veg on the couch in your pajamas eating Bugles and watching Bravo.
Vacación
Today, I am leaving on vacation. Where, you ask? Peru.Every time I tell someone something like, "Oh, I'd love to attend your event next week, but I'll be in Peru then," I crack up because it is so ridiculous. How very far away!
I told one of my coworkers I was going on vacation. He asked where and I said Peru. "Daaaaaaamn," he said. That is really the only correct response. (I don't work with "Martin," although it might sound that way.)
My friends and I picked this vacation spot because we got a crazy-go-nuts cheap price on airfare. It only cost me $250 to fly roundtrip from NYC. You can barely get to CA for that price. We'll see how it all goes, I can not wait. See you in a week or so, and stop by in the meantime because I have a couple entries on autopost scheduled. Audios!
Denim by Katie Holmes
For some reason, Katie Holmes seems to be a harbinger of jean trends. Remember how we saw her a few years ago wearing baggy, hole-y, pegged jeans in paparazzi photos and we all laughed. Then those same jeans started showing up in stores as "boyfriend jeans."
Well watch out, because based on this picture, I am predicting that bellbottoms are coming back in. Don't say you haven't been warned.
