things couldn't be cozier right now (special hurricane irene edition)



not to worry, mom and dad.

apparently there is an impending hurricane making a beeline for nyc right now, but i want you to know that inside this little room of mine, things are seriously cozy.

the lighting is dim, the blankets are soft, and there is a cat lazily stretched out a few feet away from my torso, sleeping so contentedly right now i can only imagine she's dreaming of dining on the finest meats and sweet milks that money can buy. so far this mandatory stay-cation is all right.

i've armed myself with a couple good bottles of wine, some salted chocolate and a full queue of tv shows i've been meaning to catch up on. provisions are key in any time of crisis.

some good finds i've discovered while cocooning:

these amazingly ethereal photos of europe, documenting one photographer's fictional journey around the world in a hot air balloon.

this beautiful blog just chockfull of lovely inspirational things.

these hauntingly serene oil paintings done of actual dioramas the artist creates and uses as still-life subjects.

the delicious vault of recipes on this food blog. i love a lady who's not afraid to use her herbs!

so,

Irene good night Irene good night
Good night Irene Good night Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

i plan on having sweet dreams tonight, and hope that when i wake, my city is still standing strong.
