i love this photo, which was taken by this adorable girl cecilie over at bakerby. her blog is so great, and also on my "this makes me irrationally happy!" list. also, she totally makes me want to book a trip to copenhagen so i can check out all the amazing cafes and streets she talks about. go check her out!
things that make me irrationally happy:
+ terry's chocolate oranges. i just made dinner, and now i'm drinking a glass of malbec and savoring the last "slices" of the last of my chocolate oranges that i brought back from the UK in early december. this is my favorite candy ever. too bad they don't have them readily available all year! (actually, my waistline is very grateful that they're not readily available all year...)
+ impromptu saturday day dates. jen, aka one of my absolute favorite people aka jen of fantastic boston band static of the gods, and i opted to try zumba this morning. we had a BLAST and the class was a fantastic workout and i would absolutely recommend it to any and everyone who likes to shake it in any capacity. after the gym, jen and i hit diesel for a caffeine boost [not that we needed it after zumba, but it was pretty necessary for the taste buds], and then we opted to go on a bit of a domestic adventure. jen's got the band van, see, so we drove up mass ave to arlington to penzey's spices and spent a good while sniffing jars of vietnamese cinnamon and chipotle pepper blends and cardamon and coriander. afterwards, we continued on to wilson's farm in lexington and i was NOOOT ready for the hugeness that's wilson's. i always went t wilson's as a kid in the fall only, for haunted houses and caramel apples and the like, so to go in as a hungry grown-up in need of groceries... yeah it was pretty awesome. i came home with the makings of a proper feast and ate grilled chicken, portobello mushrooms and eggplant either grown on the premises or procured from local farms. delicious and good for the local first movement, woooo!
+ the brattle theatre is showing la dolce vita tonight at 8. james and i are going and i've never seen a fellini film, ever, so i'm pretty stoked for it. we had originally decided on avatar, seeing as we're the only two friggin' people on the planet who haven't seen it yet, but fellini on a saturday night on the big screen? perfect? yes. i think so.
+ iiiiiiiiiiii could not be more excited to go see freelance whales at great scott on tuesday night with jess and amanda. "generator ^ first floor" is my favorite song of 2010 thus far and i'll put money down early that they're gonna be the talk of SXSW.
+ today felt like spring. i know that it isn't even february yet, but we're through the worst of winter! (watch me jinx this by merely typing this and then i'll be dressed like an eskimo from here on out 'til april. ohhh new england.)
yeah. today was such a beautiful, wonderful day. i don't think my happiness is so irrational after all :)
