Hannah's Famous!

...by association. Look at this NYT slideshow of Logan Square, the newest, hippest spot in North America... no, the world!

9 paar sneakers

We were merely freshmen...

One million years ago, we became friends. Then this transpired...

It's Like I'm Not Alone In the World

Guess what Judd Apatow (Director of Knocked Up and other similar "bromances") is doing? Producing a new HBO show along with Lena Dunham of Tiny Furniture (which I want to see but don't know how I will) about QUOTE: "A group of women [...] in their mid-twenties, in those years after college when you're not really sure what you're going to do, and you make an enormous amount of mistakes."

It sounds just like me!

I can't wait!

Article c/o Jezebel

so, ive never seen a theses before, so i thought id stop by the lib and check one out. low and behold, the first mph thesis i pick off the shelf from 2009 is by an Earlham biology grad!!! in 1981, but still! How cool is that!

All Hallow's Eve

I miss all of you regularly, but Halloween compounds these feelings.

I wonder to myself why that is.

Then, I remember.

Everyone will enjoy and get great use out of this NYT article on sinless cupcakes. I think I may try out the Orange Cardamom Cupcakes with Orange Yogurt Frosting first...

New Fun Game!

Let's play What Wine are You Drinking???

Over the summer I was really enjoying vinho verdes (apparently there are both white AND red varieties, but only the whites are imported to the USA because our palettes aren't refined enough for the reds). A nice amount of sweetness, very bubbly, tangy... perfect for a hot summer afternoon! I like a lot of different labels. There was one I bought in Maine a lot with blue vines on the label... unfortunately I can't remember the name.

Of course, now I'm looking for something a bit hardier... any suggestions?

(I'd ask about beers too, but I assume we're all drinking our own delicious local specialties.)

Save the wildebeest

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wildlife/8014941/Tanzanias-Serengeti-National-Park-facing-collapse-due-to-highway-plans.html

This is terrible. If earlham taught me anything, it's to value the quiet majesty and subtle beauty of the wildebeest. This has got to stop!

Top Chef

Umm... Top Chef All Stars? Featuring Fabio and Carla?

I'm heartbroken we won't be together to indulge in this.

I got new rims!

Surprise

Did you know that Katie Carter (of Edwards House) is writing a really amazing food blog? I did not know until today! And now, I am very impressed! And ready to cook!

Thyme and Reason

New Music?

Friends!

I feel like I'm stuck in a musical rut. I've been listening to the same 8 songs on repeat every morning when I get ready for school (some old favorites, some new) and I need some freshening up. Here's my AM playlist, in case you're curious.

The King of Carrot Flowers pt. 1- Neutral Milk Hotel (reminds me of you)
Honey I Been Thinking About You- Jackie Greene
Remember the Mountain Bed- Billy Bragg and Wilco
The Temptation of Adam- Josh Ritter
Home- She & Him
CHBB- Speechwriters Ltd.
Gives You Hell- Glee
Bad Romance- Lady Gaga

(Clearly, the mix wakes up as I do).


Thoughts, suggestions? Throw a little love on it!

Oh Yes Please!

New Season of DWTS!!!!!!!

This should be VERY interesting...

People we went to college with...

This website reminds me of them

Hipster Dinosaurs

Also

For those of you planning my (never to happen) Commitment Ceremony:

IF this ceremony were to happen (which it is definitely NOT), "Let's Stay Together" by the One & Only Mr. Al Green would have to be a main player in said ceremony.

Perhaps it could just play on repeat throughout the ceremony, so as to drown out whatever "vow" rubbish must be said?

Suggestions

So I just finished watching the first season of Nurse Jackie with Hester, and I liked it quite a lot. If you are in the mood for a fun half hour dramady (surprisingly and refreshingly light on the medical stories) I would recommend this. There's only one season out on DVD, but I bet you could find the second online.

Also, I heard about this new book "Barefoot in Baghdad" on NPR the other day. It's a memoir written by a woman who worked to restore women's rights in Iraq after the US invasion. I haven't had a chance to get it yet, but it sounds great and I would love to read it with whoever will join me!
