Review. EXPLETIVE! I'm In My 20's - Let's Commiserate.

For those not-in-the-know (as was I, not 10 minutes ago), the Tumblr--and so subsequent expletive--I'm referring to is FUCK! I'm In My 20's. Handwritten notes--writing large or small, dark or light somewhat like this but more parallel to whichever rise or plight Koenig modulates--illustrate the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly complexities faced (or that she still faces) in her 20's.


And similarly, mine. And similarly,

Love. America's Test Kitchen: Googling & Eating.

You're watching TV & your fav show/chef/cook is showing you the goods on how to make your favvvv dish. But you don't have your fav pen with which to write it down. (Oh. You don't have a fav pen?) We can all admit it, relate to it, commiserate about it. ... 
Or Not! 
Because I'm going to give you some old school Google search tips, & you're going to find some new school recipes. Like this one from America's Test Kitchen.

Shop Local. Diners, Deschanels, and Dives.

How does Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives relate to Zooey Deschanel??? Aside from both being deliciously bold & uniquely baller? Well ... consider a local Rochester, NY hotdog joint & an unconventional boutique. Maybe the two-toned Fu Man Fieri & bright eyed Indie babe Deschanel could go in-sies: 

Diners, Deschanels, and Dives.

HighExistence, from what I've briefly sampled, explores science, spirituality, culture, & life to understand, examine, & impart enlightenment in its various forms. The post condenses a slice of this knowledge into 50 stimulating bits to attain--or at least work toward--this earthly Nirvana.

Review. Friends With Kids.

.Crying.

The crying in this movie--my crying--was better than the laughing. And I mean that in the best way.

Taken from Google Images.

Didn't start off so strong. Something about the uniform humor: unerring in punchy, nonchalant witticisms and edgy though friendly reparte. My favorite kind of humor. But unnerving when it's everyone else's too. Also, had a seriously difficult time understanding Writer, Director, and Lead Actress (whaaaa?!) Jennifer Westfeldt. Her voice is like soft-serve. But certainly becomes more audible as the film progresses. And more than certainly could just be my kick-ass (not) audio set-up.

Shop Local. Enjoy a Staycation!



.Vacation~y Vibes.

Me. New Mattress. Just Delivered.
Giggling like someone on vacation, right.


During Momsly's vacation time, we couldn't book the gorgeous, serene, restful, relaxing, beachy Lake Ontario Beach House  (LOBH) which we normally book this time of year (fingers cross'd for the Fall!), so, instead, we're extreme stay-cationing ... as though Hamlin off of the Parkway isn't near enough. (Ooh, but at the LOBH, it feels so far.)

Life. I Start Thursday.

.I'll Never Get Down This Low No More.


Hard time here and everywhere you go
Times is harder than ever been before

And the people are driftin' from door to door
Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go
