I have just learned how to add a poll to my site. In honor of us seeing "No Country For Old Men" last night, the first poll will be Oscar-related (we are striving to see each of the nominations for Best Picture before the big night, at which time I will vote).
Wonder why I have posted so much today? Because I have been at work with Dirk, keeping him company while he finishes off his fabulous Super Bowl commercial! The secret is that I can't say what the spot is until it finishes (OK - I've told a few of you in private already, but you are sworn to secrecy). If I can I'll post the finished product here after next Sunday.......
When I first moved to New York, I felt like I was constantly discovering new and interesting places, but had no way of telling everyone - so this is a great forum to do so! Dirk and I love eating out, so I will try to start sharing some of our favorite places (great for you out-of-towners as well, to get ideas of where you want to go the next time you visit)
As usual, Dirk finds the coolest things on the internet and has turned me onto Google Reader, on which you can see which of your favorite sites have been updated and just read the updates as opposed to wasting time logging onto each one individually and checking them. I don't have a ton of websites I check, but it is a helpful tool. Maybe you can use it to see if my blog has been updated (hint, hint).
I've always liked the idea of collecting things and displaying them as groups (i.e. matchbooks, teacups, pictures) - Dirk and I often fantasize about a new apartment with giant walls to display our art on. Just yesterday I was at a flea market and saw some vintage luggage stickers like the ones above and thought "those would be great to frame and display, but alas we are maxxed out on wallspace so what's the point?" Then I saw this post on Poppytalk and am totally inspired (some of her pictures are below) - looks like I'll be back next weekend to get those stickers after all.......
