Hopefully, no one out there is actually reading this. I hope you're either at the beach, having a picnic or doing any number of other Memorial Day-type activities. My plans? Books, writing and spring cleaning. I live right on the edge, people!
It's also graduation weekend here in my hood, which means that the city is full of out-of-towners who can't navigate Providence's ridiculous streets and who were apparently never told that it's impossible to find parking. I almost got squished my a minivan from Maryland when I was biking home last night! In honor of these proud parents, here is a commencement address that Neil Gaiman made recently. It's a bit long (of course) but well, well worth listening to--twice.
Annabelle, over at Shopping Detox, has been systematically going through her lipstick collection and wearing a difference color for each day of May. While I think it's a bit insane that she has that much lipstick (not in a judgey way), I think this is a really good way to do a bit of inventory and figure out what you own that you don't really need. Now she knows what colors look good in the tube, but not on her, and now I have the idea that I should do this is my closet...
Since no one is reading this anyway, but if you are you clearly need a cocktail--here's a massive collection of drinks recipes from Food Network.
Happy memorial weekend!!

I read...I like cocktails...and thanks for posting the Neil Gaiman speech! I meant to watch it earlier and completely would have forgotten had you not reminded me about it.
