Typing for typing's sake.

Life is sort of settling into a routine.

Work is slow in the mornings, then typically picks up in the afternoons. My holiday weekends have been threatened by work but the work was always delayed so I've had most holidays/weekends to myself. Need to get out of the apartment more, but I'm enjoying catching up on TV shows I've missed during law school - in the last few weeks I've watched Damages, Weeds, Dexter, and a bunch of other stuff. Getting my money's worth from Netflix, after having a disc from The Wire sitting in our various homes collecting dust for forever - we first got it from Netflix before we sold our house, and didn't actually sent it back until maybe October. Oops.

Survived my first big snow storm, though still need to figure out boots to wear to work. I have some cute rainboots I like that I may just use for this winter then sort it out for real next winter. (They have a grey/black spotted animal print pattern thing on them that is good with jeans but I think I want something a little more professional to wear with suits.) I have now started a collection of shoes at work (1 pair for now) so I have something to change into and don't have to carry shoes in my purse (though my huge purse I am still in love with fits them no problem).

Today I went walking and realized 20 minutes away from home that I had forgotten my phones--both my iPhone and my work BlackBerry. Debated whether I needed to go back but decided that if I didn't go back I'd wonder if something urgent had come in from work. It's very cold out and teeny little snowflakes were falling. I was wearing a thermal underwear top and bottoms but was still a little chilly (have been pleased I am getting use out of the thermal undergarments; I bought them for my trip to Switzerland during winter break of 2L year when I went to a negotiation at WIPO for a treaty I was writing a paper on -- best excuse ever to go to Europe). Returned something for the boy at a fancy J Crew store on Madison ( J Crew Collection) that was camouflaged so I walked right by it, then kept seeing people with J Crew bags passing me on the street, taunting me. So I pulled out the trusty iPhone to help me find it, but it started getting sketchy and turning off, probably because it was so cold. Then I had a big decision to make: Whitney or the Met. Had joined both, but decided on the Whitney since I hadn't seen their Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit yet. It was crowded, so spent more time at the Roni Horn exhibit, and really liked it. That exhibit was on two floors and I only saw one, so I have more goodness waiting for me. As I was walking home, I saw that the steps of the Met were packed - guess going to warm museums on cold days isn't such a bad idea.

Went to Williams-Sonoma to get a Zoku but I didn't see any in the store. I want one but it was a little hard to get too excited about getting a frozen pop maker *right now* given the weather.

Battling a headache now. Got a variety pack of Magic Hat beers delivered from FreshDirect this AM, along with a free tub of frozen chocolate chip cookie dough, so perhaps that will chase my headache away. Also have a huge amount of rice pudding I made yesterday with rice left over from disappointing Chinese food - it turned out really good but there's sooo much of it it's kind of overwhelming.
