wow it's been a while....

three days, in fact. i forgot my power cord at home and my computer ran out of battery sunday night. i was unable to blog even though i had other access to computers for the following reasons:

1) i started a post on ryan's mac but i felt guilty blogging on a mac...like i was cheating on my little thinkpad, and that's never good.
2) the atmosphere in columbia computer labs simply did not provide me with enough intimacy with my work that my laptop does.

anyway, i'm back. but while i have you feeling bad for me, i'd like to review what a tough tough semester i've had:

1) my computer battery was recalled in september...leaving me relying solely on my powercord for weeks...WEEKS.
2) my cell phone broke in half not long after...i had to ROLM people for a WEEK. pathetic.
3) i lost my wallet on halloween...and haven't had my ATM card since.
4) this whole power cord incident left me "technologically distant" for....a day.
5) that's it.

in other news, my only class was cancelled today so i did a bit of shopping...shiny red shoes, cream puffs, and finally ryan's birthday present.


and in other OTHER news:

1) i was on the today show yesterday: click here to watch
2) this is what i wore: (click to enlarge)

3) do you like ashley's new hair?

4) and here's me dishing out my MK face:

5) also, lindsay lohan is dumb...watch this. and then this.

the art of the cupcake

little mini cupcake papers are the cutest

perfectly rounded big ones

notice the three shades of icing that contribute to the sea-life theme

my thanksgiving was better than yours

my thanksgiving was a 60 person family reunion in a fire house.

"i mean, just write me a plane note that i'll read when i get home"

dear nilio,

hope your flight went well...any more UFO sightings?* how is nils?** have you cuddled with shera yet?*** when i got home rufus ran around in circles for like ten minutes, it was amazing...kind of. ry and i had to sit next to someone on the train cause it was so crowded and i spilled water all over my bag and all down my shirt; it was cute. ryan brought a whole bag filled with snack foods for the hour long train ride...what a fat ass! here's what was in the bag: a loaf of pumpkin bread, yogurt covered pretzels, goomy bears****, mini bananas, a hunk of cheese and some wheat thins, trail mix, chocolate teddy grahams, and halloween pretzels. out of control.

when i got home my mom said "look at the nightlight barry bought for you in the bathroom!"...it was this little light up santa on a sleigh and i love it. i also love that my mom still has little pumpkin lights up around our fireplace.

in like every issue of teen vogue there's some story about girls who "raid mom's closets for really cool vintage dresses and cute clutches." but they always "mix it up a bit...like add a chunky belt or pair the shirt with skinny jeans." so i kind of want to raid my mom's closet and end up wearing floral dresses and long jean skirts and have teen vogue write about me. honestly, who has a mom so fashionable that they steal clothes from her? you should steal clothes from veena's***** closet, i think you'd look cute.

anyway, i'm in my bed at home and getting a little sleepy so i'm going to head to bed. hope you have an AMAZING time in vancouver...see you wednesday! (just kidding...you're SO funny.) love your brown guts.

xoxoxo, MK

me: what's the difference between a snake and a lizard?
robbie: well...snakes have their babies out their mouths...

ren: mom's got those birthing hips that you can wrap your legs around...
(i have the exact quote written down so this may be edited SLIGHTLY)

robbie also made me an amazing shirt with penguins on it...pictures are coming. my dad told me that robbie cried himself to sleep last night cause he missed me so much...so cute. here are three pictures:
