  • ice cream sandwiches
  • not going to any events and finally watching ex machina and eating a whole avocado, half a cucumber, and tomato toast for dinner (plus two ice cream courses) (ahem)
  • ordering popcorn from here ~on a whim~ “for fun”
  • ordering new jeans!
  • cleaning up the house a little bit
  • this detail about composer jerome kern from wikipedia/the guide to musical theatre:
    he [kern’s father] insisted the 16-year-old [jerome] join him in his retail business. There an obedient Jerome might have remained, had he not spectacularly flunked one of his first tasks – the purchase of two pianos from a factory for the store. Over a long and drunken lunch with the factory owner, he somehow managed to sign an order for 200! In later years, Kern often dined out on this story: ‘You’ve no idea what that many pianos coming off a truck look like!’ he quipped.” 200 pianos! instead of 2!
  • 200 pianos!!!!
