friday, i'm in love

i'm taking a page (post?) from the playbook of one of my fave bloggers - maggie over at freckled citizen - and doing a weekly rundown of things i'm digging. having spent 4 out of 7 days in bed recovering from a lack of wisdom teeth, the standard for awesomeness isn't very high this week, but here we go:

portlandia

if you haven't yet taken 30 minutes out of your life to watch an episode of portlandia, then i am sad for you. this show is ridiculous - and it stars one of my all-time faves, fred armisen. it definitely teeters a little bit on the absurd side of comedy, but if you have any sense of irony, i promise that you will love this. give it a shot! catch up on all the episodes here. still not sold? watch this without laughing:

new boots!

yes, they're as ubiquitous on the streets of manhattan this winter as piles of snow covered garbage bags, but i finally caved and bought myself a pair of hunters. why the sudden purchase? funny you should ask. turns out i had a giant gash in my old rainboots, and it took me more than one episode of soaking wet feet to even realize there could be a hole. le sigh. anyways, i love the color i got! don't see too many in this shade. and no holes means dry socks! yay!

burgers... mmm meat

so i went vegan for the month of january, and actually totally loved it. i felt great, cooked awesome food, didn't feel deprived of anything, and i think i can do it for longer than a month. however, having been on a liquid diet of soups and smoothies for the past week, all i can think about is the day when i can sink my teeth into one of these babies from shake shack... just one, and then back to being vegan-ish. and also maybe a quick trip to hill country. and then i'm back on the vegan train. yep. definitely.
