P.S.

As an addition to my previous post here are a few things that have popped up on my computer screen and in life that I feel are worth mentioning:
  • Blissfully Domestic (http://www.blissfullydomestic.com/): this website is everything I am not, but I aspire to be. I swear in a future life I will be the next Martha Stewart...for now I am more of an observer
  • Covergirl's Lash Blast Mascara: After about the hundreth print ad and the five billionth viewing of Drew Barrymore's commercial for this mascara I decided to go out and purchase it. Most people who know me know that I have tried just about everything short of false lashes to create the look of having gorgeous eyes. Upon my first application I was quite timid with the size of the brush, but after getting used to the brush size (quite large) I found that I was able to coat all my lashes with a few quick strokes achieving a fantastic look. (www.covergirl.com)
  • Someecards: This website, while not being completely PC, provides one of the funniest sites for e-cards. Have you ever wondered where exactly you could get a card that proclaims: "Today's the anniversary of you being expelled from your mother's uterus" check it out at www.someecards.com
  • Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer: dessert and a great cause, count me in! If your in the Boston area this is a great event, between May 5th and May 11th if you stop by a participating restaurant and order the designated dessert 100% or the proceeds will go toward the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to benefit breast cancer research. www.bostonbakesforbreastcaner.org
  • Japan Trend Shop: so I opened my dailycandy (www.dailycandy.com) e-mail awhile back and was greated by a link to this fantastic shop that sells Japanese gadgets. I really cannot fully do this website or their products justice I would just reccomend checking it out. (My personal favorite is the showerhead that spurts vitamin c). www.kilian-nakamura.com/
  • The Elephant Walk: I have been talking about going to this Cambodian and French restaurant for the past few months and hope to go their quite soon. www.elephantwalk.com
  • Paste magazine: I got this magazine in the mail as a freebie try and I was instantly addicted. This fantastic magazine (and website) features some great indie/alternative/not heard on main-stream-radio all the time bands as well as talking about film, books, and culture. Every month I get a great magazine filled with interviews an reviews on the lastest music, movies, and books as well as a sample CD filled with great new/emerging music. I absolutely reccomend checking out this magazine or at least the website. (www.pastemagazine.com)
  • Greek: I am in college and this ABC family show somehow has me hooked. I think it might have something to do with Scott M. Foster's portrayal of Cappie a greek fraternity president. If you haven't tuned in you should check it out. You can download the show on itunes or (as I do) watch full episodes at www.abcfamily.com
  • Musings of a Muse: I have been reading beauty blogs for quite some time and frankly this is one of my favorites. Perhaps its the Muse's frank honesty about the beauty products she tests or the fact that she tests everything from high end makeup to drug store buys. Either way its worth checking out... www.musingsofamuse.com
  • Neil Gaiman: if I haven't written enough of how much I love reading this man's work, lol. I have started on The Sandman series. This follows Morpheus (aka the ruler of dreams) in a fantastically written and beautifully illustrated graphic novel. The plots are fantastic and constantly keep me engaged. The writing is (as many of Gaiman's work) is incredibly intelligent. Needless to say you can check him out at his website (make sure to check out his journal!) as www.neilgaiman.com.
  • The Melting Pot: I first saw this restaurant on an episode of The Girls Next Door and became instantly intrigued by the idea of a restaurant surrounding the concept of fondue. Needless to say I am excited they are building a location in Boston. Psych yourself up and check out their website: www.meltingpot.com
  • Trapeze School: There is a trapeze school in the area! Doesn't that concept just excite you?! Check it out at http://boston.trapezschool.com
  • Kaze Shabu Shabu Restaurant: Cooking food at your table in a broth where the picks of meet include ostrich? Sounds like my kind of place. Check it out at www.kazeshabushabu.com

Those are just a few of the things spinning 'round my brain for right now. I'll write again soon, enjoy the beginning of the week!
