If I were going to be buying a new coat this winter, it would most likely be this little peacoat by Maria Cornejo. I’m probably not going to (hell, I haven’t even gotten around to replacing my tea kettle yet) but a girl can dream…
As if I didn’t need any more fodder for my conspiracy theory dossier, here’s a piece about the letter that the FBI wrote (while pretending to be a rabid ex-fan) to Martin Luther King, Jr suggesting he kill himself.
Reading that piece got me all riled up, so I decided to check my e mail. My husband sent me this link to Opening Ceremony’s new collab with Intel: a glamorous wristwatch/smartphone. “Why not just get an implant and call it a day?” I wonder out loud to myself.
So in a desperate attempt to turn my attention away from the fact that we are all just drones-in-waiting and towards something more wholesome, I go to Etsy. Etsy UK, actually. I figure it’ll be less commercial. There I find this super cute idea for holiday spice biscuits that hang out on the rim of your mug.
Which of course gets me all freaked out about the holidays. Suddenly I feel horribly behind, and we’re over a month away from the big day. In order to help ease myself off of that ledge, I go for more practical concerns (aka Thanksgiving) and decide to get lost in the NY Times Cooking’s exhaustive guide to the holiday. We’ve got vegans joining this year, so the tried and true ain’t gonna hold.
A person could meander around for hours on that site. Maybe I should just get practical and prepare some of Julia Moskin’s cranberry sauce, as it’s one of the few things you can make way ahead that will still be delicious next Thursday.
Or maybe I should get even more practical and make a quick brine for the pork chops I have in the fridge waiting to be transformed into dinner.
Or I could just wander on over to the Zero Maria Cornejo webstore and fantasize about this peacoat which really should be in my closet even though I have no pressing need for more outerwear…
