We Have Important Work to Do

This is turning out to be an uncharacteristically hectic week out of my generally pretty hum drum existence, which is not at all a bad thing, but still--I'm beat! Thank Jebus for Tim & Eric, I seriously just watched this video four times in a row and it's really helping me work my way back, albeit slowly, from the land of the living dead.

I know I know...just yesterday day I swore that if one more person asked me this question, I'd punch them right in the kisser. BUT...



What are you guys gonna be for Halloween? Alex and I are dressing up as Wayne and Garth.

Excellent.

I had the immense pleasure yet again of meeting up with Maya from Turned Out for a little photo snap and a simple, delicious lunch at her place. I can't say enough about how much I enjoy both this lady's company and her blog. She told me that she'll be travelling to London and Paris for Fashion Week, and I for one can't wait to see the beautiful creatures she tracks down! Thanks again Maya :n )

P.S. If you made your way over here from Turned Out and happen to be looking for those photos from my recent trip home, you can find them all here!

Bravo, bravo, bravissimi!

Monday night, we went to see a performance of Don Giovanni at the Metropolitan Opera.



We had standing room only tickets...and it was pouring rain...and freezing cold out. But we persevered!

It was overall pretty amazing, I love Mozart to death (in no small part due to Amadeus, as wildly fictitious as it may be...), all except for the part where I got busted by an usher for trying to sneak into some empty seats after the intermission. Dudes, you can't blame me for trying--that was a pretty brutal three and a half hours! By the time the Don was on his way to eternal damnation, I was on my way to the eternal fusing of my spine...



This dress is among my favorite things I've ever thrifted. It just fits, and was definitely handmade at some point. I don't get a lot of opportunities to wear it out since it feels so fancy. Guess I should go to the opera more often, duh.



In conclusion: well met, Met.
