HOW do you get rid of gnats? our house, specifically the kitchen and surrounding areas, has been overtaken and it’s bad. really bad. like if you make any sudden movement, seven gnats will fly away. i know they are there because: 1. it’s hot. 2. it’s a damp kitchen. 3. our window in the kitchen doesn’t seal properly. and hot + damp + air = gnat infestation, but they’re starting to slowly make appearances in my room and it’s troubling.
this summer will surely be remembered as the summer of gnats. summer o-gnine. no? (gno.) too far? ok. ok!

this has been a momentous weekend: i bought a blender AND a vacuum cleaner. i thought not having a debit card (long story!) would hinder my spending, but it seems to have only expedited it. also, in a happy accident i just now discovered slow- cooked scrambled eggs. changing my LIFE.

from ages 15-18, jenny lewis could do no wrong in my eyes. i would willingly wait in the july heat to see her for 4+ hours. i was that fan. embarrassing. now, the honeymoon has ended and i’m sadly a little bit over jenny, but i still kind of wish i loved her as much as i used to. rilo kiley was the first band that i remember actively loving (forgetting the death cab for cutie incident of ‘04). plus she’s so darn precious. i’m still going to her show tonight.
jenny lewis@ stubbs, tickets are $20. see you there!

in lieu of trying to make this blog a juxtoposition of random photos, which, in my opinion, seems unnecessarily complicated via wordpress, i’ve created a tumblr account, mostly for my own satisfaction. also, i lost all of my pictures in the great harddrive crash of ‘09, so this will be a backup of sorts. i secretly covet all sorts of stylish tumblr pages (hey brad barry) and wish mine the same good fortune. it may be viewed here, if you’re interested. furthermore, i’ve decided that this blog might take on some more regular form of posting, since i’ve started feeling like i ought to supplement my free time with some sort of consistency.
this is the summer of david foster wallace. i know i know, i’m way behind. ”discovering” d.f.w. is so 1997 but give me a break, i was 8. this essay, o.m.g.

last night i finally got around to watching gonzo. i’ve decided that i do like hunter s. thompson (averaging out from the brief love affair i had with him circa ‘06 that turned into hate and then, most recently, back into love), but i find myself very frustrated by hollywood’s decision to ostensibly turn thompson into johnny depp. now, i unconsciously combine both of them, so that when i’m trying to think of thompson, i picture depp as thompson in fear and loathing in las vegas. i’ve yet to play this game while watching pirates of the caribbean to see if it works in reverse. i probably won’t ever play this game. i also just have really bad name-face recall. c’est la vie! also, how precious were those tom wolfe interviews in gonzo?!
edited on 06.25. to add: case in point – july 2009 vanity fair cover story. thank you.
in other news, i’m actually quite pleased with myself for doing a lot more cooking lately as a result of the cooking column i’m being forced to write for the paper. turning lemons into (watermelon) lemonade. this week’s recipe (spoiler alert!) is blueberry crumb bars, via smitten k.
