the golden age

Incidentally, in the time that my computer was busted and I abandoned my blog, I turned 26 on Sept. 26, which made it My Golden Birthday. That was a month ago today, but I would just like to say I have really nice friends and family who took care of me as I entered a new year with only one parent at the party. Rachael and I went to NYC to try to see HAIR, but didn't, and stayed at a sick hotel that looked like The Hatch from the top floor

and went to see pretty Mandi

That's all.

I am so sick of people getting diagnosed with cancer.

At least Andrew Lloyd Webber's isn't pancreatic and isn't stage 4.

UNDEFEATED

York had a Small Dogs Expo with a costume contest. There were four awards: Most Original, Scariest, Prettiest, and Funniest.

Gigl was dressed as the Hamburglar/Hamgiggler and won Scariest, and Holly recycled the turkey costume and won Funniest.

Moral of the story: I am the pug pagaent mom queen of Halloween.

all these things

that I've found in cleaning out Grey Gardens or in grosso York.


Softballs that my dad kept from some of his best games. He didn't realize at the time that he was saving one for Jeff, Jenny, and me to hold onto.


baby Beatle!


this is what people eat for dinner in York


This is one of the three thousand boxes of my dad's writings that I have organized (and will later turn into the most awesome book(s) ever), on computer paper that is folded in half. I think I know now where I got my hypergraphic tendencies. The irony is that he pulled out his horoscope for something regarding a sermon and he was the sign of Cancer.


From the envelope from the last Valentine card my dad gave me. It's actually from the second to last Valentine's he was alive, but the last one in his real handwriting. I love.

sunshine adventures

1. Sunshine Cleaning: Booooring. I love Emily Blunt and Amy Adams but not when I'm asleep.
C+

2. Adventureland: So nice, I watched it twice. I want Santa to bring me the DVD.
A+

3. Mysteries of Pittsburgh: Misleadingly boring from the previews & hype. Can Sienna Miller play anything but a sassy, party-girl muse? And if that is the typecast she hangs her hat on, she should at least do it well. I love her TopShop stuff, she should stick to the clothes. Take a lesson from the Olsens, lady friend.

4. The Jane Austen Book Club: I Love Emily Blunt & Maggie Grace (especially MG with dark hair). Seemed like a better movie than a book, and Jenny confirmed this (which is ironic considering the topic).
