covet: couch

I've been thinking about a white sofa lately. a comfortable white sofa. In Los Angeles, Adam had this great light mustard color sofa in his living room. well, the house we live in currently is 100 years old.  the couch can not go through the front door or back door.  The nice mustard sofa has been living in the garage for a year and a half.  The sun goes through the window in the garage and has ruined the sofa. 

Adam had a futon couch in his office. That is our current couch in the living room. So this is the reason I am coveting a white couch at the moment.

... well a white couch might now be a good idea. this year i spilled red wine and chocolate on said futon.. maybe a white couch is a bad idea...

bunnies

i want bunnies...

weekend

we have been having such a pleasant weekend even though there is a snow storm warning in effect. i feel like snowfall brings peacefulness to a town. everyone stays indoors.  so cozy (i hate the word).  we used the fireplace for the first time..

can you see the snow falling? it's been non-stop all day.

we have been eating a lot of comfort food this weekend. grilled cheese and tomato soup. courtesy of adam's dad and zabars.

potato knishes for lunch

and chez adam will be cooking a pot roast for dinner tonight. so lovely..

films to see

One of the things I miss about living in California are the movies that come into town. I have movies throughout the year I want to watch but the closest screenings are in New York. I hate those words, "now playing in limited theatres in Los Angeles and New York."

I hope I will have time to watch Black Swan when I am home in a few weeks. Looks scary.. 8.9 rating on imdb.

and Sofia Coppola's Somewhere.. I saw an interview of Sofia recently where she wrote the movie partly for being nostalgic about her hometown while living in Paris. I share her sentiment.

finally

a third comment from Dudley. thanks to yeni and toshiro who signed even before i started begging...

he also included a "f you" in there. Two points.

beautiful thunderstorm

how gorgeous is this thunderstorm?

I am soo happy that finals and classes are over.  I ended up enjoying and will miss both classes.  I had a nice conversation with both teacher's after class accidentally.  I told my graphic design teacher that I maybe would want to get a second bachelor's in graphic design.  He said to email him because the program is very competitive. yikes. maybe find another major?

zabars

I've been doing some research for meat and cheese clubs. Zabar's in New York was one of the places i looked into.

Lo and behold a few days later a big package from Zabar's arrives..

Adam's dad sent it to us for christmas. 

The package has lox and (NY) bagels, cookies, and lot's of goodies.

I watched You Got Mail on the telly and they filmed a scene at Zabar's.  Anyway, did I say the cookies are really good? I scarfed down three before dinner.  Soo bad.
