Molten Chocolate Cake

I am attempting these again this weekend. This time when it says "dust with cocoa" I will realize that that includes buttering the ramekins first. Oops.

This American Life Season 2

So if you know me then you know I am obsessed with This American Life. I pretty much am listening to it whenever: I am at the gym, I am cleaning my apartment or I am walking any distance alone. I don't have Showtime though so I never get to watch the show. But on the latest podcast, Ira Glass was saying that season 2 of the show is now available on DVD. AND it contains the live movie version thingee they did last year that I missed. I want this, and it is a whole lot more affordable than that desk. Too bad when I went to Barnes and Noble today the lady told me it isn't out yet. LIAR!

I wish...

that we had room for an office. And then I wish that this desk didn't cost over $1800.

Etsy Finds

I realized the best way to find things on Etsy is to find one thing I like, and then check out that person's favorite sellers, and then find something there, and look at that person's favorite sellers, and then... you get the idea. That is how I found all of this stuff:

ok, so I'm a little late in the game on this, but I still really like these, plus they are letterpress.

Obama/McCain found here and Biden/Palin found here.


I like this print. Plus I have those shoes in black. I don't know if I should admit that though.


I have been having a weird infatuation with tea towels lately. But how awesome is this one?


or this one, very appropriate for a British husband who actually makes me a cup of tea every morning. If only I could replace "brew" with "cuppa".

From Vogue Italia - March 2008

I just like these.

Random Flickr Photos

Found these today on flickr, thought they were cool.

I don't like bikinis.

I do like a good one piece though. Anthropologie has some good ones:



(but really, even though that blue one is super cute, I think I'd feel a little uncomfortable on the beach with a turtleneck/scarf bathing suit. )
