In the Mood for Love. I could watch this beautiful movie over and over again. Especially when I can't sleep. Sigh.

I found the best carrot cake. After spending 5 hours at a salon to straighten my hair (yes, I know... it's already straight), I happened upon a cute little bakery called Pinisi. Nothing else I've tried there is really that great, but I'll refrain from saying bad things about small shops-- this carrot cake is amazing! It's got this delicious crumble on top with really moist cake and yummy cream cheese frosting, of course.

Another day at the hair salon

The things we do to look beautiful =)

Tonight I met up with a friend who I haven't seen since I was probably 10 years old. We used to be childhood pen pals and we recently reconnected through Facebook. We went to Grimaldi's in Brooklyn for some thin-crust pizza and soda. Then we decided to try Momofuku Bakery & Milk Bar, where we had crack pie, soft-serve ice cream, organic strawberry milkshake, and pistachio cake. Momofuku is getting some serious press-- we happened to see Padma of Top Chef grabbing some dessert to go. My new (old) plates from an Etsy seller arrived today!

There was a period of time about 4 years ago when I would watch episode after episode of Law & Orders. I couldn't stop because no matter what time it was, or what channel, there would always be an episode on. This morning I feel I have regressed. Currently on the third one. It's way past my bedtime.

I could eat carrot cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, especially if it's from the Little Cupcake Bakeshop. Thanks, Mandy! (and thanks Neil for the last one!) Watching Braveheart before I sleep. William Wallace has just won a battle, arms up in victory, YAAAHHHH!!!
