Good form, Microsoft!

You can add me to the clichéd January gym club. Where dreams float overhead and self-loathing simmers below. At least I’m able to walk and read again, even though Belle never did it on a treadmill. But now that I have written about this, I promise I will not post about working out (unless it’s really important like I broke myself via improper usage of a weight machine) because we all know those posts are almost as interesting as people complaining about work.

Now I really feel bad for not scoring tickets.

And sorry, mom, for the profanity. I just thought Jordan would really enjoy this.

Nathalie, tonight you deserve a little love. Yep. You deserve it. Sincerely, Self

My welcome to the apartment succulent pot was looking pretty sad so I finally went to Home Depot to remedy the situation. It’s amazing what $12 can do.

I must stop killing all my plants. I must stop killing all my plants. I must stop killing all my plants…   

Other offline excuse: seeking and eating at an assortment of trendy gastropubs with wooden ceilings, cement floors and mason jar table decor that serve braised dishes.

It’s been a crazy couple of weekends and it feels weird to be sitting at my computer blogging when I should really be outside enjoying the January sun. But real quickly I want to say, if you haven’t been to the flea market at the Rose Bowl you need to go. Have in mind what you are looking for, otherwise you might got lost in the stacks and stacks of WWII military jackets. Some gems we found included the OJ Simpson trial trading cards and the Hitler-looking mad scientists/doctor (as shown above). On another note, you should be jealous because the M83 concert was amazing. 

Crafting is such a fun and inexpensive way to tell people how much you care about them (or how weird you think they are). I’m a little behind in my gifting but I figure I’ll dish them out eventually. Cross stitching is also a great way to pass the time while your friend is playing Skyrim.

*Anna, guess which one is yours!

It’s been a crazy week but nobody likes a complainer unless it comes in the form of Cathy or Garfield, I am told. Luckily I have this guy - the panda above - to keep me company.

Besides work it’s pretty much NATHALIE time, which means my feet are up somewhere and my pants are fastened with elastic. I am on track with my vague goal of reading a book or two or three a month. I finished Mindy Kaling’s comedic biography - quick read if anybody wants something fast and easy. So there you have it. Working and reading. Oh and catching up with Amy Chase! And buying new records. Yes, yes, I think that pretty much covers it.

You know it was a good Christmas break when you haven’t blogged in a week or so and then realize that you haven’t mentioned how good Christmas break was and that you haven’t blogged in a week or so.

Here’s to a good 2012. Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra!

Decorated the planners’ department at the agency - complete with a record player, reindeer cookies and a naughty or nice chart.

You’re welcome again, co-workers. :)

It’s that time of the year! You’re welcome, co-workers.

Merry Christmas from the Nerdplex.

scott auckerman’s instagrams from the comedy bang bang nativity pageant

Comedy Bang Bang Nativity Pageant was so much fun last night. Over 20 comedians came and entertained us with over four hours of delightfully inappropriate jokes. And I can’t believe Adam Scott and Jon Hamm made surprise visits to the stage. NO WORDS except, “remember the day we ran into Beyonce and Jay Z?”

I’m so excited to put today to rest. I hate almost everything that comes with being an adult.
