shelter from the storm.

so the world's ending or whatever, but i'm shacking up in my cozy apartment with the boyfriend, the dvr, a kitchen full of foodstuffs, and two delightful cats. they're not mine, these creatures. they belong to a friend for whom i was cat-sitting in tribeca this week. she's stranded in new england, so seth and i staged "the great cat-rescue of 2011" last night. one in a carrier, one on a leash (?!) and the two of us bumbling through an interborough cab ride, laughing at what a bizarre adventure this weather is turning into. over the last 12 hours, i've turned into a crazy cat lady, having full-on conversations with my new friends.

but we're here now. we're making a feast for dinner, inviting a few friends over, and turning this into a board-games-and-wine kind of evening. so bring on the wind and the rain. i've got food, dranks, and a lantern. i'm sure we'll be fine.

and because we've been cooped up inside all day, here are some

current obsessions (the cabin fever edition):

- this video. ok go and THE MUPPETS? two objects of my affection beautifully entwined.

- the trailer for the rum diary is out!

i read this book when i was in london a few years ago, and i loved it. i'm a huge thompson fan, and no one will be able to do this sexy, crazy, disjointed story justice like johnny depp. it looks fantastic.
