love letter

Friday, May 9th, 2008

I miss my old neighborhood in Chelsea, and sending David Horvitz to the mailbox on my former street corner to take a photo, then using the mailbox to send the photo is somehow comforting, in a very circuitous way.

And for $10, a whole lot cheaper than plane fare to New York.

slanket.jpgI really like the Slanket, probably because I often pad around our house with a blanket on my shoulders, shawl-style. (Pull the blanket over your head and imagine how you can scare the kids when you peep in their rooms at night!)

Bonus: use it to indulge your adult monk fantasies, then retire comfortably to your couch, no changing required.

ninjasocks.jpgI confess that I don’t understand the logic of ninja socks, beyond the fact that they are designed to fit into ninja boots. But if they propel me through the spider walk to Ninja Warrior heaven, then I’ll rock them everyday.

*Note: also useful for wearing with flip-flops to tourist destinations.

daskapitalbank.jpgYes, Karl Marx, a Das Kapital bank is being sold at Target.

To quote Whipple: “Irony is an insult in the form of a compliment.” Or something like that.

modernartcoloringbook.jpgHaving a kid gives you the opportunity to reclaim certain primordial pleasures, chief among them Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, rubber ducks, and coloring books. Inspired by yesterday’s Everywhere Daily Candy, I present to you the ultimate in cheap fun: color your own Modern Art Masterpieces and Human Anatomy. Throw in a Classic Crayola 64-Pack and a bottle of Two Buck Chuck, and a hot Friday night (after the kids go to sleep, of course) is all yours for under $15. Staying inside the lines optional.
