Liz From St. Louis

Chip Kidd. ‘Nuff said, right?

The Cheese Monkeys was a book I read at a professor’s suggestion a little over a year ago. Being a busy/stressed/over-worked/walking zombie of an art student I didn’t have time to read books for lesiure, but I found spare minutes and read Monkeys and fell in love. A book about a fellow stressed/etc… design student? Um, of course I loved it. And hello, the writing was just as fantastic as the book design.

I didn’t know there was a new book out until last week, I immediately reserved a copy at Borders while I was at work and picked it up on my way home that evening. I’m still reading The Learners and thus far I really like it, surprise surprise, HAHA. It’s about the same design student that Monkeys was about, now post-collegiate and attaining/starting at his first job. How apropos!

A few drops of this stuff, Pineapple Orchid oil from Bath & Body Works, in a little round pink ceramic warmer makes my entire apartment smell so fresh and lovely for hours. The fragrance is longer lasting that any candle and the perfect spring scent to boot!

Gimme that Scion booty, baby!

Mine is the Blackberry Crush xB on the left, I was at the post office and found a little twin and just had to park beside it. Okay, so the other car had some sweet customizations, including some chromed out blingin’ wheels that had me all kinds of jealous. My Frankenberry may have a sweet Sirius satellite radio and Mizzou Alumni sticker but he’s lacking that shine of chrome. Some upgrades are in order!

No matter, my car still got the invite from Scion to participate in the Scion United event in Las Vegas in two weeks. I’m beyond excited to go, not only is it going to be a nice long road trip but Scion knows how to treat it’s owners (Last event: Miami. Rainn Wilson. Ludacris. Scion Luggage.) and I’m sure there’s one hell of a weekend in store for the other lucky owners and I when we get there. Yeah, my car’s going to be famous (hello tv commercial, print ad, web use!) Being put up in Vegas for 3 days isn’t too bad, either

Work’s going well, but man, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m looking forward to this weekend.
My Chemical Romance in St. Louis! – After a more than 2-year absence from the ‘Lou!

The birthday was Friday & boy did I get quite a surprise.
The parents came down to visit, brought me pink roses & took me out for dinner and drinks. Pineapple upside-down cake, the best birthday cake ever!

Twenty three is too old for me.
Methinks it’s time to start lying about my age.
