We all know this already, right? Apparently not. I counted literally over ten people today NOT adhering to these polices. Come on, people. We're adults. We should know better.
New York, you're great.
The Lego Movie
I'm not calling this a review because I'm not going to give you specific, listed points as to why YOU SHOULD GO SEE THIS MOVIE.
I can't tell you what a good time it was. Really. I knew nothing about it beforehand (which is usually the best way to be pleasantly surprised by a good movie, I find) and it was fantastic and really funny at times. It's so easy to mess up a movie that's intended for kids these days, in my opinion, and this one was just great.
GO SEE!
Everything Is Awesome
I'm hoping it isn't abnormal how quickly I loved this song after hearing it only one time. I realize how terrible it is - I really do, it's only the chorus I can't stop loving.
Coupon Advice
“Most stores have reward programs. Being a member gets you coupons. Sometimes you don’t use those coupons. Idea? Cut out any coupons (the ones you won’t use) and tape the coupons ABOVE the product that it could be used for. I’d be psyched to find a coupon above something I needed to buy.”
Hitchcock at Film Forum in NYC
Film Forum in New York is showing a crazy amount of Hitchcock films from Friday, February 21st through to Thursday, March 27th, which is all well and good, yes. But tonight, for their showings of North By Northwest and Blackmail - there's going to be "live piano accompaniment".
And I'm sorry, but does that not sound incredible? Such a neat idea. Definitely going. Tickets are $13. The full schedule can be found on their website.
Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Um, this is amazing?

Anthropologie's Kitchen Items
Do you see these bowls? DO YOU SEE THEM?! They're STORAGE CONTAINER bowls. Why are they so gorgeous? Oh, I don't know - maybe because some genius came up with the idea that EVERYTHING CAN BE PRETTY.
This is coming across as angry and I'm really not mad right now. It just makes me sort of (pathetically) excited (just a bit) to know that containers like this exist. As soon as I learned of their presence in this world, I put them atop the list of things I need to buy immediately. So I guess all my ziplock containers can now officially EAT IT.
Cannot wait to get these. My fridge is going to flip the fuck out when she sees what kind of beauties I'm putting in her.
They're $8 each and available at Anthropologie. (Also, don't get me started on how sexy their regular cereal bowls are. Fuck.)
“A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face she inquired, “How heavy is this glass of water?” The answers called out ranged from 8oz to 20 oz. She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She continued, “The stress and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them for a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed - incapable of doing anything.” Always remember to put the glass down.”
