awesome and awkward

[snow day]

awesome:

• over the weekend, T and i completely rearranged the living room. it's inspired several diy projects, and i am really excited about it. i'll post photos of it when it's finished but, i can already tell it's going to be my new favorite room in the house.
• jiro ono's description of umami: it is the sensation of "ahh", or when something is perfect in every way -- "the first taste of beer...the first dip into a bath"
• T and i have finally gotten into bob's burgers. it is every bit as hilarious as our friends promised. plus, tina is my favorite.  

awkward:

• for some time now, solo has started cuddling with all curtains in the house. it first started as a way for him to play hide and seek (i didn't have the heart to tell him i could see him), then he would drape it over his back like a cape, then just sitting behind them, and now cuddling under them when he sleeps. it's like his blankie, and it's pretty adorable. 
• not too long ago i was watching an old favorite and found myself empathizing with the parents in the movie...i know. it was probably the most adult moment i've ever had. is this adulting??
