Just go read What Would Yellow Ranger Do? again.
Oh. I should say more things. Should I? Okay.
I think the advice was pretty solid this week! Also, Bus Rides I Have Had, and the COMPLETE VERSION of Bend It Like Beckham: A Celebration.
I also really enjoyed talking about my favourite posts from our first six months.
The triumphant return of Jessica Valenti’s Eat Me!
I continue to be impressed and relieved that our Middlemarch discussions are so sprightly, and I love getting emails from Real Journalist Rebecca Mead that say things like “oh, my God, the Rosamond gif choices.”
Watching Downton Abbey With AN HISTORIAN. AN. AN. AN. AN. AN.
And, finally, always into Gabbin’ About God.
When is the next middlemarch book club?
I have a post next week with more event details and that question will be answered! Keep reading, in the meantime.
Enjoy the new episode on Sunday, Nicole. I’m afraid to watch it, based on what I’ve read (not spoilers, just general reactions) but I probably will give in. I hope my emotional health can take it; I’ve been depressed.
You got my goat with the first AN. I consider the subsequent 5 as a personal insult.
Friends! I bought the beautiful West Elm bed! http://www.westelm.com/products/vonnegut-kraft-be…
Thanks for the encouragement to just make decisions with my money like a boss. Now I get to make more decisions that I think are fun because they are cheaper, like buying sheets, and maybe a nightstand.
AHHH that’s wonderful! I just bought their everett loveseat to replace my current horrible horrible free futon that feels like a bag of plywood and has weird stains from the previous owner all over it. I’m very excited, it’s the perfect size (maybe a touch big but that’s fine) for my apartment and it’s soofffft and also solid (so the cushions wont crumple over time) and very pretty.
Plus, I got 25% off (instead of the 20% it was supposed to be) thanks to the kindness of one of the top 5 most attractive people I’ve ever seen. NYC Toasties, run to the Brooklyn West Elm (the one near the York St F stop) and gaze at him for he is magic. I definitely spent time taking a moment to think about the couch so I could linger longer and admire him. He helped me choose fabrics. It was glorious.
Congrats on the purchase!!
Oh, that is a truly beautiful bed! Congrats!
Hey Nicole, I’m sorry if I violated the site’s rules by posting hidden codes. I was just trying to collect some flags for a game. I didn’t want to do anything wrong. So, I hope you can forgive me. I won’t do it again.
I forgive you.
Thanks. Your site is very good and a lot of people visit it.
omg I can’t believe this was a real person! Nicole, you posted warnings SO MANY TIMES.
Yes, I know. But I really didn’t see any of her warnings. I usually don’t check for replies. Sorry to you too, Mallory.
Oh, that is a truly beautiful bed! Congrats!
