More Stuff I Like

Jeannette Walls new book Half-Broke Horses. It's not quite the emotional ride that Glass Castle is, but it's a really good read. If you've read Glass Castle it's really interesting to see how Rosemary was raised and how she ended up where she did. Quite an interesting family.


Jo Malone Nutmeg & Ginger perfume. I'm not a perfume girl at all. Most of them I find too strong, too cloying, too allergic-reaction-causing. This one does not because it smells exactly like it's name- nutmeg and ginger. That's it. It's warm and spicy without being sweet or headache-causing. I adore it. If I know you personally, please don't buy it because I want it to smell like me and me only. (Yes, I really am that shallow.)


The Checkout Girl. I'm really loving this blog entry by this local shopgirl blog queen. I've had similar things happen during my retail-working years, but this entry is just full of win. She also does a hilarious series called 100 Bad Dates, which are linked through her site. Good reading.


Community. By all accounts, this sitcom should suck but it just keeps getting better and I hope it gets another season because these characters have so much potential. Check it out if you haven't bothered to watch it. Also! The girl who plays Annie is also Trudy Campbell on Mad Men! It took me forever to catch that because I'm slow.

  1. I'm slower because I didn't know about Trudy/Mad Men until you posted this. Heart Community, and everything, EVERYTHING about it.

  2. I've watched Community and I'm not completely sold on it. It's not as bad as it could be and yet, not as good.

  4. I don't know you, but I looove that perfume, too. Oddly, I found it by googling for nutmeg smelling perfume, and bought it online on a whim. LOVE.

  6. Have you ever checked out Demeter Fragrances? They have things like "Grass" and "Gingeroot" - simple, really nice scents.
