rainy seattle friday

as an escape from an oh so typical rainy seattle friday, i am reminiscing about istanbul's spice market. where it is hot and spicy, and i was tan. you know what sounds amazing right now? that sweet apple tea the shopkeepers all serve while trying to sell you carpets.

or should we move to spokane and buy this house?

how could you not laugh to yourself at the sheer audacity of it every time you walked in your own front door?

Hello, Calacatta Gold, are you out there?

Word on the street is that a high profile project in Dubai has bought up 10 million square feet of calacatta gold marble, effectively shutting off the supply from the one mountain in italy to the rest of the world. I dont think it's good form to use profantities on a blog. But Fuck.
This is what I call a design crisis. I need 2o slabs. Stat. If you see any, you know, laying around, please send them my way.

something new

This one's for you cheffy.

I'm not in the holiday spirit much this year, and as a result, the christmas music that the ladies in my office have blaring is either:

a. making me grumpier

b. putting me to sleep (this is happening as i type)

or maybe c, "both".

Favorite thing of the holiday season so far: Sonna's mom's Russian Tea.

cheffy- this is a combo of Tang, sugar, instant tea, and cinamon. it's magic.
