some current events

A sampling of small things that have happened since last we spoke:

* I worked 20 hours in one 24-hour period. And that was directly following an ugly 12-hour day of recapping, So, after much typing and very little sleep (maybe three hours?), I headed off to the big dog show at the Palace of the Cows (by way of Tartine, where Laura and I waited in an unbearably long line that was so very worth the payoff: sticky, chewy, cinnamon-orange morning buns and gigantor lattes, pow!). But because I was hardly awake enough to dress myself (when I arrived at Laura’s house, she pointed out that my zipper was wide open), I forgot to bring my camera. No endless dog pics! Such a disappointment. So all I can do for you is paint this little word picture: three black-and-white cow-spotted great danes perched atop matching cow-spotted pillows, all lined up on a matching cow-spotted ledge.

* And then yesterday I worked-worked-worked, with only a brief pause to drop $135 on sweet items from the sure-to-sell-out “Proenza Schouler for Target” collection, which isn’t officially out yet, but which is for some reason being secretly, sneakily sold on Amazon, huh?

Just one of the resplendent items from the upcoming Proenza Schouler “Go International” collection for Target, hot, hot hurray!

* And then at 5:30 Marco and I screeched down to San Jose, where we witnessed the Stars beat the Sharks nice and up close. Marco is a fan of both teams, so it was a very conflicted time. For me, too: Should I get the blue cotton candy or the giant cookie ice cream sandwich? (Answer: BOTH.) My favorite part: When a bloody fight broke out on the ice, and the sound people blared “We Will Rock You,” as in, “You got blood on your face, ya big disgrace, kicking your can all over the place.” Also great: The Sharks fans booing whenever the word “star” came up in the national anthem. It was all just so very thorough.
