When I'm lucky to get a seat next to Sam in class typography suddenly gets twice as interesting. Probably because I'm too busy looking over his shoulder than paying attention. He's a really fabulous illustrator. Worth checking out here and here.

There is just something about a guy in wash jeans and a black sweater. It makes my heart go pitter-pat. Of course, that's what consta was wearing yesterday. *sigh* i love him.

how fancy. i need one of these adorable helmets to go with my scooter. they have in other styles/colors at YAKKAY. :) whenever i get a scooter, of course.

I had a super fabulous birthday week. Seriously, a week.

It started the Sunday before when Consta's mom cooked me up a really yummy greek meal. Wednesday my friend Wendy took me to lunch at Chili's. Friday my parents took me to Sakura's and then followed by one of my favorites: pineapple upside dow cake. mmm, mmm.

Saturday mom took me to tea in Ellicott City. It was great. I've never been to a tea before. We had a large list of tea's to choose from. I got a vanilla chai latte. They call it "Latte da" there. :) It was great for a cool day. They brought out little tea sandwhiches, crackers, scones and desserts.

Saturday evening Alex, Consta's nephew, had his birthday party at Pump It Up. Despite the small battle wounds we suffered from skidding down the plastic moon slides it was tons of fun.

We finished the evening with drinks at Brewer's Art with some of our great friends.

Thanks to everyone for celebrating with me!

i saw this little gadget in real simple a few months back. if i took more photos i would feel the need to buy it right away. unfortunately i rarely remember to bring my camera anywhere so i'm thinking this little guy would be completely useless to me.

it's a wireless memory card, Eye-Fi, that fits right into your camera. if your house has wireless internet (which i think most would by this point) you would just walk into the front door after a day of shooting fabulous photos and they would automatically copy your pictures to your computer. or better yet, you can set the device to upload to whatever photo-sharing website you use.

buy it here.

Someday i'll find a print of this. *sigh* but for now, this small web image will do to make it a happy night. :)

i hate putting outfits together. actually, i love it, but i can never find things that go. i googled "fall clothes" and i found polyvore. you can put together your own finds or you can look through others. the site is filled with really talented people. the best part is every piece of the outfit is linked to the website it's from so it's purchase on demand. :) above are some examples of what you can find.

mmm these look scrumptious. i'd really love to learn to make them. from what i read, macarons are testy little cookies. i'll keep on the hunt for a good recipe. or..maybe i'll order some from paulette.

i ran across this rug tonight at the world market. it reminds me of fall..i love the colors. from what i imagine my future house to be i'd like to combine clean lines with comforting warm organic shapes. it would be perfect pretty much anywhere in my future house, haha. I'm not sure where'd i put it now though, and i'm thinking consta might think it's a little to feminine too. ;0)

i really can't get this baby off my mind. i want one so bad. you can check others out at genuine scooter.
