WO: Weekly Obsessions

After one of the best long weekends I’ve ever had, it’s safe to say my motivation for anything is long gone. That won’t really do, though, when you have 300+ work emails, four freelance assignments and a blog to upkeep! Wah, woe is me.

1. Typhoon Relief: Take a moment to support the American Red Cross and its efforts to aid the thousands affected by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. It’s the least we can do, but it’s a little something to show support to those in need.
2. Bill de Blasio: My first election season here was nothing if not memorable. Voters selected de Blasio, the first Democratic NYC mayor in 24 years, and I look forward to seeing what craziness will come.
3. S’mores: First you take the graham; you stick the chocolate on the graham. Then you roast the ‘mallow. When the ‘mallow’s flaming, you stick it on the chocolate. Is there anything better than this childhood classic? My recent food choices would say, NO.
4. “Applause” – Lady Gaga: I really didn’t want to like this song, but the reigning queen of quirky just pumps out those earwigs. Of course, the ridiculous Kia Soul commercial helps, too.
