Geek Love

Have you ever said out loud "I love geeks"? Or perhaps caught yourself making googly eyes at an awkward character in a Judd Apatow movie or tv show (excluding Paul Rudd, he is too classically good looking to be a true geek)? Well, chances are if you've ever worn leggings after 2006 or have ever watched "The OC", then have I got the book for you: geeky dreamboats: a celebration. A perfect way to fuse your ironic nature with your geek crushes. I particularly like how the title of the book is in all lower case letters - it makes it look even more adolescent than if they had just gone with the fake lip print.

Silly T-Shirts

I was sent a Delia's catalog in the mail recently. I'm going to claim ignorance as to why. Regardless, I browsed said catalog and found this shirt which is ADORABLE. The question I pose to you is this: is it ridiculous for a mid 20 something to wear such a shirt? Is it less acceptable b/c it came from Delia's? Is it too self aware to wear this shirt while eating toast and jam in public?

Now I can eat like Liz Lemon

I am a huge "30 Rock" fan. I'm also a huge food fan. So when there was an episode where sandwiches played a pivotal role, I was really intrigued. I'm not going to bother explaining the episode for you, you can read about it below but I will say that I always figured the sandwich shop either a) never existed or b) was a real place in Queens that I would never find (b/c I seem to recall the teamsters got the sandwiches from Queens in the context of the episode). Regardless, I was using my Google Reader today and I came upon this gem on "Serious Eats"! The source of the infamous roast beef sandwich with dipping sauce that led Liz to declare that she could have it all while clearly kind of choosing a sandwich over love? Fiore's in Hoboken! And I live in Hoboken! And I once considered going to get a sandwich there! This is truly kismet. I will follow up this posting with an in-depth review of said sandwich but I was just so excited to find this information out after basically giving up all hope of finding out the source of this sandwich.

Best Sweater Ever

For those on your Christmas list who have everything, why not get them the coolest sweater on the history of this planet Earth? I'm referring of course to the country club chic animal sweater that T.I. wore this week on SNL. It's hysterical and sexy and any man that can pull off this look deserves props.
