random list... b/c apparently this is the only way i know how to blog

i've lost the ability to dedicate an entire post to a single subject.
frankly, i live my life in pathetic snippets throughout the day (sleep, shit, eat, work, eat, work, eat, tv, sleep) and none of these moments add up to a worthy blog post.

so the only way i can really blog is to make random lists of the precious little events that occur in my life, with said list embellished with a smattering of thoughts other than "oh my god, i'm so exhausted." that float into my head once and again.

so here i go:
1. i learned all about nick jr. and noggin shows from anthony bourdain's blog today. i know it doesn't sound right when you say it out loud, but give it a try anyway and read it. it's good stuff. his thoughts on dora and diego, i thought, were especially insightful. and i also found out that if you let your kids watch tv enough, they'll learn how to speak mandarin!

2. the ny times just featured a website called www.justbento.com. i'm totally hooked. it's fascinating! i must go make little vegetable bunnies to include in my lunch bento!!!! i'm seriously considering buying some triangular rice molds and a plastic hello kitty bento box... god, my inner korean girl is SCREAMING to be let out.

3. i read julie & julia, decided i must have a copy of julia child's cookbook, bought said cookbook, and determined that julie powell really must have been nuts to make every single recipe in the book. meat jelly? really? that sounded like a good idea to you? i have, however, flagged a nice handful of dishes that i'd like to try out in my lifetime. i'm starting with the chocolate mousse. my mini-bundt pan is ready to go. come on by. the other 5 mini-bundt-shaped-mousse-molds would love to be eaten. by you, even!

4. at 2:25 in the morning, making a random list seems like a huge chore. which is the reason why my blog posts are infrequent, as i tend to blog when insomnia kicks in, and why the posts are getting shorter by the minute.

okay, my brain's checking out. that's all.

(5. making a list at 2:25 in the morning leads to many mistakes in a blog post, which then requires subsequent editing along with self-chastising for my inability to proofread/plan ahead. it's a vicious cycle.)
