magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

A late brunch at the Life Cafe in Manhattan with Ellen. I do kind of miss living three blocks from the one in Brooklyn.

Then back to the kitchen thing. West Elm, to look at shelving, which was much cheaper looking in person than I would have suspected from the price tag. It looks like I might be making my own shelving. They did have a couch that I really liked, but am not going to pay $1k for.

The Container Store, for coat hangers, a laundry bag, and a bicycle storage hook, none of which are for my kitchen, but are all little things that will make life in my apartment work a little better.

And Bed, Bath, and Beyond, to fawn over small appliances, find a set of flatware that I like but which they were out of stock of, and buy glasses, sixteen glasses, eight pint glasses and eight rocks glasses, with a nice modern shape, and a nice heavy bottom, for an amazingly low price.
