1) TV: If you aren’t watching Community, uh you should. I’ll give you two reasons. First up the social justice reason: the cast is super-diverse. On Community the Spanish teacher is Chinese and a lunatic, as spanish teachers should be. Second reason: Turns out that Joel McHale is not only surprisingly hot but shirtless far more than seems necessary.  I need some shirtless hotness to replace the gaping hole that LOST will leave when it goes off the air in a few weeks. :)

2) Food:  For Mother’s Day my Aunt Carole sent me a FRUIT bouquet.  Arnold called me as I was coming home last Friday and said “Uh, I think we are having fruit for dinner because there is a fruit explosion here!”  I can’t describe how psyched I was when I got home.  It was so pretty and edible and healthy and FULL OF CHOCOLATE covered apples.  I’ve always wondered if they were good and now I can testify.  Yum.

3) Design:  This is the closet of J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons.  A closet like that and unlimited access to J. Crew clothes?  Sign me up!  I love her whole Brownstown which was featured on the cover of Domino and was the inspiration for the striped ceiling in our hallway. You can see more pics here.

I love the settee. I like to imagine that I am some chic Parisian girl. Never been to Paris but I hear they are pretty chic over there...

4) Blog Love:  I Suwannee.  Jamie Meares runs such a funny, cool design blog.  She uses so few words and yet manages to provide both helpful information and sassy commentary on the good, bad and the ridiculous of the interior design world.  I also like the big fuss she makes about her own birthday every year because I like to do the same thing too. And super-nerd that I am I lurve her “Bookcase of the Day” feature.

5) Books:  I’m still literate and putting this superpower to good use.  Last week I read Chelsea Handler’s new book.  She is so foul and so wrong but I love her.  I can’t explain why, I just do.
