(Alexander Wang jacket, vintage everything else)

Saturday was stormy and the day was spent half-dressed..re-reading my favorite parts from Franny and Zooey, cleaning, and trying to make stir fry work with a really bare fridge. Peanut butter and raspberry jam and soymilk bare. Then I remembered that LF was having a sale so I dragged Colin along to La Jolla and made out with the only mid-height boots I've been okay with for a long time and a couple sweaters that required holding in the air four different ways before being able to make sense of them. We walked down to the beach to see how wild the ocean looked (very) and then ran back to the car in record time when the downpour began. Drove up to Mt. Soledad to see the cross on top of the city through the mist, tentatively evacuated vehicle safety to take a couple photos and break in the new boots properly in the mud, half froze to death in the sharp wind, and spotted seven bunnies scampering along on the grass. Felt very accomplished when I managed to photograph them in time.

Somewhere in between boring and perfect.

Super Bowl Sunday. I cherish the day for being able to roam the entire county from the beach to the streets while the game's on and have it feel as deserted as the island I don't own yet...and faux-joining in on the enthusiasm with the drunk people stumbling from house party to sports bar and back. I wonder if this is very un-patriotic of me. Either way I've always found it more fun to partake in athletic activities than observe them. Not to imply that I'm actually good at anything besides tennis and batting cages cause I'm not.

These thigh highs are the most novel and I suppose practical addition to my closet in a while. They're lined in fleece and so warm that I've actually found myself having to take them off in some rather awkward places. I bought the tights version as well and hope they help in some way against the cold in NYC in a few days.

And it looks like I'm probably going to Tokyo next month...crazy.

Another white minidress for the arsenal and some deadly accurate Anastase knockoffs (sorry, no way I could locate or afford the real ones! but yeah..really sorry Mr. Anastase).

Just when I was focusing on having a heart attack about leaving for New York this Thursday, my mom invited me along on a trip to Tokyo in March that I'm trying to decide if I can go on or not...it's been a couple years since I've seen my family over there..and my Japanese is so rusty I might need to log some time over there just to not lose it completely. Well I have until tonight to decide what to do.
