#252; Friday I’m in Love | online edition
Do you remember how when the internet was beginning to be a big thing to the average consumer, there was always an “online edition”? Like, seminars and educational courses had someone interactive components (that usually came with a CD!) that were labeled the “online edition”? I’ve been enjoying a bit of nostalgia lately (apparently 90′s nostalgia has been a thing for a while now) and so, I bring you, the online edition of Friday I’m in Love.
→ Web Design! At work we’re completely updating/re-doing/content overhauling one of our major web pages. I have had the joy of coding until my eyes were crossed for the last 70 hours or so. It’s been an incredibly high! In what little free time I’ve had, I’ve also finally settled on a theme (with original design and touches by myself, of course) that I’m completely in love with right here at theluckiest. What do you think?
#251; Taste of the Week (Nº10) People’s Choice Awards edition
In honor of her two wins at last night’s People’s Choice Awards (for Favorite Actress and Favorite Comedic Actress), this week’s Tasty choice is Emma Stone, proving that you can be young, smart, gorgeous, and completely hilarious at nearly all times. She’s even got a raunchy sense of humor that I totally admire in a woman.
I first noticed her way back in The House Bunny, when she was clearly dressing down and playing against her ability to sell sex (well, at the beginning of the movie, anyway), but then she stole the show in Zombieland and stole Penn Badgley‘s heart in Easy A (face it, that movie is today’s Clueless, in all good ways). She’s also gone on to make some really smart movies; The Help and Crazy Stupid Love coming to mind first. What’s there not to like?
Check out after the jump for more of the redheaded bombshell.
#250; the year of doing things
Last week I wrote about my ‘sort of Resolution’ to cut toxic people out of my life. Later that I night I had a few drinks with those friends who enrich my life in ways I can’t even count and who are helping me through a rough time here in Boston. After the first round of Jäger bombs, we labeled such friends “Crayolas” (beause they’re like the non-toxic crayons, which made a lot more sense to me when we came up with it), and the title’s stuck. And so, with the Crayolas (I really want to start a band called that, btw), I’ve resolved to have an awesome year. I’ve resolved to try something Boston-based best friend Kat is called the Game Plan of Conversion. Because neither of us make New Years resolutions, we’ve got the Game Plan. Mine involves taking advantage of Boston and spending as much time with the Crayolas (and Boyfriend Piece, of course) as possible.
