• Hey guys! I started a Tumblr. I have no idea what I’m doing and there’s not much on it right now but it will be an extension of this blog… an image dump of pretty things.
• My little apartment suits me just fine but, I would love a spare bedroom, a half bath and this:

• So, what kind of eyes do you have? Apparently, I have “hooded eyes”. Who knew? Well, I always knew that I couldn’t do the bold shaded crease with shadow because my crease is really low as opposed to being right under the brow bone but I never knew there was a term for that. It’s more prominent in Asian people and when I brought it up to my bf, he was like “Oh yeah, it’s one of the first things I noticed about you!” Hilarious.

• I do most of my baking from scratch but one of my favorite super quick mixes is Krusteaz Cinnamon Crumb Cake. It is a no-brainer. All you need is a square glass pan, 2/3 cup of water and 1 egg + 40 minutes in the oven. It’s great hot or room temp and the crumb part has a touch of salt. We polish off a pan of this in a day. Perfect for unexpected guests!

• Next Wednesday is my 32nd birthday. I still have to take care of my mom so, we’ll have lunch and she of course let me pick out a few things (3 tops, those sandals, and I got super-exciting dental stuff: Waterpik, new heads for my Sonicare, and a 1-hour whitening kit. Actually, I’m really excited about that stuff!) I’ve been begging the bf for a low-key evening – no presents from him, a casual dinner and crème brûlée at Can Can… maybe a movie on the couch when we get home. Sounds perfect!

• I’ve been so consumed with recovering from this damned cold and absorbing all that’s going on in Japan that I don’t have much to talk about this week. I will comment on people’s opportunism in light of a tragedy. I’m not particularly bothered by people selling art prints and the like with proceeds going to relief efforts. I mean, people are just doing what they do and taking a hit on their own profit – but where’s the proof the money actually gets donated? What really bothers me is the “like” this on Facebook and we’ll donate money, reblog on Tumblr, RT on Twitter. It’s all based on an online identity getting more exposure. The money is already there. Just donate it and be done with it. Do you really need 100,000 pats on the back before you’ll give?
