The theme seems to be candy.
It’s a cool and gray here, and I couldn’t be happier that it’s Friday.
So, a little contest: guess how many jelly beans are in here (email me), and the winner (closest without going over) gets the sealed candy of his or her choice.
(If you crave jelly beans, fine, a new package is yours, but I’ve been eating these, so, you know, you might not want my cooties.)
11:30 seems like a good time to live, right?
This is now the view above my desk (designed by Eric, printed by Wonderful Graffiti). And it’s the perfect sentiment for how I’m trying to live these days (appreciative of each [okay, most] moment[s]).
Sounds cheesy? Fine, but there will be more on that later.
In other news, soon it will be my favorite day. Until then, I’m gorging on candy corn.
UPDATE: Wow, you guys have a serious sweet tooth. Candy contest will close Sunday, October 5 at 5:00 pm.

Angry Boobs
(From the JCrew final sale)
The above half of the bikini does nothing but enrage the body parts it’s intended to cover. The result isn’t “how fashionable,” or “oh, she looks slim,” but the much rarer, “her boobs actually look angry with each other; is that possible?”
Other, more attractive suiting options are available at the site, along with tons of other new sale items, which you’d think would be great, but it’s making me angry like the bathing suit.
I bought a pair of jeans not two months ago, and those same jeans are being sold now for less than half of my price. JCrew is just teaching customers not to buy fresh stuff anymore since the “final sale” seems to be on a regular cycle.
Banana Republic made the same mistake a while ago; the time between fresh and the sale rack was often a matter of weeks, so I stopped buying stuff altogether. The word “sale” implies something special, not just a regular cycle of reducing prices. JCrew – charge what the stuff is worth, and cut the crap.
