Twins

Had my eye on this picture since September 2008 - the sheer coincidence of the Sartorialist running into this matching pair is uncanny.  This is much like a picture torn out from Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in the Wonderland'.

Speaking of twins, I think I'm crushing on these Camper Twins 2046.  It would totally revamp my wardrobe.  I can see myself owning these for years - seriously!!! Oddly enough, I don't like the majority of the Camper inventory but apparently when I do see something I love I do go crazy.  I should assess the budget.  It would make for a nice Valentines gift...

Miscellanies of 12.2.08

Chocolate covered pretzels are very good.

Thermals are a God-send particularly when you go home to a house that is not heated due to a general cost cutting strategy.

"Hunt and Peck" - I recently read a short story in the New Yorker (dated 12/1/08, page 65 'In Other Rooms, Other Wonders").  The witty descriptive number was used to describe character Husna's method in using the typewriter.

Prodigious - I heard someone use this word at work - I certainly do not remember the context of it.  "remarkably or impressively great in extent, size or degree: the stove consumed a prodigious amount of fuel."  Yes, my vocabulary is lackluster.

For New Year's Eve, I want to wear a modestly made paper crown at a dinner party and sing 'Auld Lang Syne' at the stroke of 12.  Small excerpt:

"Should old acquaintances be forgotten,

And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And days of long ago !"

Why is it that I always get extremely tired at 11pm and after taking a 5 minute nap find myself ready to have fun in the wee hours?
