I'm slightly obsessed with this gorgeous typographic print designed and {letterpress} printed by Justin Van Genderen. I'm oh so tempted to get and hang it in my office. 

Oh, Don Draper. I've only watched the first two episodes of this season of Mad Men--I just haven't had time to keep up. Next rainy weekend, I'm catching up on some episodes. 

I need my Don Draper fix. I mean, come on y'all.

Back to the blog.

Looks like I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. Bad, bad blogger. 

But now that I'm almost unpacked and settled I can get back into a regular schedule. 

Austin is huge and different and overwhelming and entertaining all at once. I've found a favorite spot for bubble tea, but I'm still on the lookout for a favorite coffee spot--working at Strange Brew spoiled me.

I don't have much of an update tonight, but recently I read an article about Kelly Clarkson. Now y'all don't hate me for it, but I've always liked her. I have every album she's released since then and I've seen her perform live. Her voice is ridiculous. I guess it's the part of me that's always wanted to be able to perform like that. Anyway, the point is that she's almost constantly been judged for her body by the media and she always comes back in a kick-ass way. Homegirl is looking fierce these days. I want her trainer.

Also, Kelly Clarkson + Jennifer Nettles + John Legend makes for great tv. I'm hooked.

Catching Up on Shows.

Thanks to spending the last couple of weeks staying with my friend Tiffany, I've found a couple more television shows to be addicted to. Typical. Again. 

One of them is Scandal. Y'all. That show is ridiculously addicting. I watched the entire season on Monday and Tuesday while I was working. Plus, the actor who played Desmond in Lost is there. Score.

And the second is Revenge. This show is also ridiculously twisted and addicting. I'm still catching up on it, but the season finale was tonight, so I can't wait to get to the end of it. 

Today I got the technical stuff (you know, electricity and such) set up for the new apartment. I picked out a paint color for the living room and picked up the supplies for the painting of the living room. And tomorrow it's on to Sherwin Williams to buy the pretty paint I have picked out. I can't wait for Friday when I'll be able to get to work on the living room--maybe I'll even decide on a color for the bedroom. I keep going back and forth between a marigold-yellow or a nice cool gray.
