Saturday Special + Autumn is here

It's been a very, very long week, and I definitely have the bruises (both literal and figurative) to show for it. I hope this weekend lasts for a while longer.

RIP Neil Armstrong. Have a great weekend everyone.

Sunday Special + An amazing week ahead

So my best and worst suspicions are confirmed: law school is definitely an adventure. More on this later when I can be coherent about this, but I'm glad it's lazy Sunday after such an eventful week.

I have succumbed to the culture around here and got a bike to get to class! It has a cute basket for my heavy casebooks. And on the way, I saw these cool-looking domes. Davis hippies. (via Davis Wiki)

Piñatas + Presents

via Carmichael Collective

I've been making piñatas this past year to give as presents because they're personalized, doable while watching a movie, cost-effective, delicious, and somehow still enjoyable to destroy every single time. That's why I totally laughed when I saw this picture. How gruesome. And accurate.

This Santa Monica deal sounds great too: $10 for 60 minutes of margarita, an additional drink, and a $30 credit for car service. (via Thrillist Rewards)

I don't usually read Fox News, but I was sent this article about what minor skin conditions on the face mean, and it actually makes a lot of sense. (via Fox)

Wisdom teeth + Yelp parties

I was in the middle of getting a cavity filled yesterday (TMI, I know) when my dentist suddenly declared that I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out before it got any worse. As a result, I haven't eaten since 9AM yesterday and desperately want to take a bite out of these toothy-looking cupcakes.

via Pinterest

There's also a big yelp event tonight I've been looking forward to. How will I take full advantage of all the free food now? The problems I am plagued with are no joke.

Ice cream + Drinks

As you may know, I am an ardent fan of ice cream and therefore find these recipes irresistible. I'm definitely trying a couple of these soon.

The artist behind these recipes, Lili Chin, has more delicious creations on her tumblr.

Cheese + Lobster

Hello hello! I said I would write about my experiences visiting schools in the Midwest and East Coast around a month ago and completely...did not. As a weak substitute, here are some pictures taken on my phone from the last couple of months. Several highlights for me include the unexpected beauty of Madison, the lobster in Boston, visiting Rhode Island for the first time, partying with a friend in New York City, and always, always, enjoying the creations of culinary artists all over. I also hope you noticed the cupcakes that my good friend from roxpaperscissors made. What a whoopensocker.
