Recent Snaps - A Photo Post

Occasionally, when particularly jazzed about something I see in my travels (or, perhaps more accurately, daily commute or trip to Dunkin Donuts), I'll covertly whip out my cell phone to snap a photo. Or at least I think it's covert. "I'll blog about this later!" I'll exclaim to myself. Well, that later is now. Here are some recent images straight from my easily distracted brain and camera phone.

My sister moved into her freshman dorm this week (tear!) and has clearly sworn to be the classiest girl in her building. Frankly, I don't doubt that she probably is. Beyond the painstaking arrangement choices made (she ordered her posters weeks in advance), what freshman actually makes the frames for her (very distinctly themed) posters?

... or crafts her own pillow?

I've mentioned this before but here's the photo of the bedding from Anthropologie on the day we first met. Love at first sight. Someone, please. Decorate my room. I'm quickly tiring of the teal paint chips that I Scotch-taped up on my fading buttercup wall three months ago.



Ever since seventh grade Italian class, I've had a soft spot in my heart for cannoli. My will power did not stay strong against this peanut butter one I found in the cafe at work this week (or, excuse me, The Caf). Unfortunately, I give it a "meh" rating on the very analytical Lauren Food Scale. With its tastes-like-little-more-than-Skippy filling, Giada "MasssCahrponeh Scheese" De Laurentiis would not have approved.

It's shame I couldn't get a better shot of this. Each morning on the train we pass over a bridge overlooking some sort of body of water (a bay? the ocean? some other sort of inlet?) and there are always tonssss of tiny boats hanging out a little ways from the train. They always look abandoned to me, like toy boats someone grew out of then just sent down the Nile, or like lost little ducklings who have nothing better to do but hang. But - really - they must be doing something out there. What is it?



This one is my favorite of the week. I'm attending a wedding this coming weekend with the bf (yay!) and while perusing wedding cards this evening, we came across ones for gay weddings! I don't know why, but I think they're the greatest thing. Maybe the rainbow hearts are a bit cliche, but look at the other. Two tuxedos! So great! And, I'm sorry, but so cute! Although, no lesbian cards - gay or straight it appears that women will continue to be slighted. ... And I'll put my soapbox away now. Someone invite me to your same-sex wedding so I can buy you a justice wedding card!

What's the coolest thing you've seen this week?
