because, well, i'm in the middle of watching "Knocked Up" (which i'm enjoying tremendously), but, as rp and i have discovered, we can no longer just watch a movie. i have to multitask.... but i can't generally get anything productive done while watching a movie i haven't seen before, so things like book lists work well. as do facebook, nytimes.com, anthropologie.com, etc.
speaking of which, i bought a sweater coat and jeans today! and i can't find a picture of the silly thing online. so here's a rather fuzzy photo taken with my iphotobooth. i'll try to get a better one tomorrow or something. but really, i'm so happy. it's from macys, not anthropologie, thus not all nice and all-natural fibers, but it's got pockets, is empire waisted with buttons just to the waist, three quarter length sleeved and all knobbly! and soooo comfortable and flattering. very very happy.
anyways, here's the bookthing!
