nevertheless, there is something to be said for leaving my apartment for reasons other than having to work or needing to replenish my nutella supply. and while i am not quite ready to commit to extended human interaction, i am willing to make the effort for the canine kind. yes. a puppy to be exact. i plan on getting a baby black lab at the beginning of march (from a rescue, of course). why wait so long to get him, you ask? because mama's got holiday plans and holiday presents and holiday plane tickets to buy. that means a lot of money saving, my friends. but it will be well worth it - i'm already marking x's on my obscenely large kitchen calendar, counting down the days to christmas in march. and you better believe that my adoration for my canine companion will be rivaled only by parker posey's brilliance in best in show. this dog is gonna be set!!!
in the meantime, i will do my best to broaden my horizons with my fellow mankind. for now, here's your found item of the day:

oh god.
