linking up again for a random miscellany of thoughts this foggy, dreary friday. bring on the sunshine this weekend!

have you all read the goldfinch? yes? ok excellent. because every time i go to my kindle, i hope there's a little bit more of it to read. it was truly amazing. i've since then gobbled up everything else by the same author, and right now, i'm reading the little friend and it's just not scratching the goldfinch itch i had, even though i think it's even longer (which is hard to believe). i am about halfway through but can't seem to give up on it. maybe it gets better?

one of the most exciting things that happened this week was that we locked down a sublet in LA from a colleague of mine who will be traveling from august til december. it's right smack dab in one of the neighborhoods we wanted to check out, which is the "brooklyn of LA" (i'm rolling my eyes right now in case you can't see), but seems really walkable and full of cool restaurants, coffee shops, and all that good stuff. so relieved to not have a big apartment hunt awaiting us! it will be so much easier to get a place in december while we're actually there, and now we'll have a chance to take this neighborhood on a trial run!
3. mad men
i'm in denial that there are only 3 more episodes left this "season". i seriously can't even talk about life after don draper. that is all.

if you haven't yet signed this amazing petition, take a sec to add your name. it's about to reach a million signatures, which is really incredible.

enjoy. i can't stop looking at it.
happy weekending!!
I bought Goldfinch as soon as it came out, because The Secret History is my all-time favorite book. It's also Donna Tartt's first novel, which is mind-boggling. Given the baby and all, I have not yet actually read Goldfinch, but I'm taking it to the beach next week. The Little Friend was ok, but not like The Secret History for me. Give it a shot!
ReplyDeleteI am dying over the gif. Too great!
