Weekend coffee #103.
So, to follow up on my recent peppermint bark purchase, I’d like to say, I’m never allowed to buy it again, having already consumed more than half of all three tins in about a week. I don’t even like the dark chocolate one that much (but I don’t hate it?). Here for the salted and milk chocolate versions, though, for sure. If I could mix and match and stack as I please, I’d have a real problem. Hopefully, Williams-Sonoma takes note of this for next year. Anyway, my birthday was yesterday, and for anyone wondering, I’m in my thirties. That’s all you need to know. Just kidding, pretty sure you can figure out my age from a quick Google if anyone even cares at this point. Otherwise, here’s some of what I’m thinking about this week:
The world’s first 3D-printed neighborhood now has its first houses. What a fascinating concept, especially if the homes can withstand heavy rain. I haven’t read up too much on 3-D printing, but it seems like an incredibly useful technology (unlike a few others out there).
A Decade in Slang: 13 Trendy Words, Reviewed. This list feels a bit skewed towards the second half of the decade. I would also nominate some of the other late aughts/early 2010s favorites like “totes.” An old friend and I used to joke around and say, “I’m obvi hella jeal.”
Four Guys Asked Their Neighbor If They Could Walk Her Dog. They Got A Letter Back From The Dog. This is the heartwarming content I’m here for around the holidays, and something I’d like to see way more of throughout 2020.
Speaking of the New Year, I really like this grid by Mari Andrew. In the past, I’ve taken the "word to define the year" versus resolutions, though neither works for me. The guiding word plus associated place feels like a more actionable approach.
Check out David Harbour’s ridiculously beautiful NYC loft. I’m usually not a fan of the perfectly calculated celebrity living space, but there’s something about this one that feels alive — also, that shower.
That’s all for now — time for holiday partying and lots of family. Until next time — thanks for following along (and happy holidays!).
