Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Due to a mean cold, I found myself mostly in a horizontal state the past few days. Lying around lethargically did have its benefits as it allowed me to finish up my latest Murakami novel and indulge in an infinite Netflix stream of 30 Rock.

If any of you are a fan of Japanese writer, Haruki Murakami, and his love story, Norwegian Wood, you might like this. Does anyone know if the film is coming to New York? I've searched, though only hastily, and have found zip!

{I Know Places}

Though such a rare occasion, I do love weekends spent eating mounds of ice cream and stemming floral headbands. A couple weeks back, a quick (quick for reasons not to be mentioned for fear of embarrassing my man-friend and his weak stomach for all slimy things contained in jars and human skin bound books: understandable!) visit to the Mütter Museum was preceded by a stroll through Old City.

After a jaunt to Art In The Age of Mechanical Production, I believe I was subconsciously led to The Franklin Fountain where I promptly found a spot at the counter (after a 20 minute wait) and probably, for the first time in my life, ordered the smallest sundae an ice cream parlor had to offer for fear and intimidation that Franklin and I were not on the same page when it came the definition of a double scoop. I, myself, did not want to explode and end up a spectacle at the human oddities museum.

Nothing could have ended this day on a more unusual note than to read Stiff nearly through to its entirety in one sitting. Have any of you ever read any of Mary Roach's books? And what's your favorite ice cream parlor?

P.S. I'll be sharing those floral headbands with you all shortly!
