I have a friend who has been obsessed with Michael Jordan for his entire life. Actually I have two friends like that. Weird. Anyway, this one friend used to memorize number sequences for combinations or phone digits based on their correlation to the famed basketball hero. To this day, I struggle to remember my own phone number, yet I can still remember “Michael Jordan—double Michael Jordan—Michael Jordan in the Olympics—six-Michael Jordan!” Though I have no clue what 23469623 means. Probably the codex to something sneaky.
- Green Apricot Tea from Adagio - I’ve had a fair amount of teas in my life. But this is the perfect green, in my opinion. Light and healthy, fresh without tasting like freshly cut grass soaked in water. Yea!
- Sea Change, album by Beck - If there was one album that I could be stuck with, alone on a desert island (one that had USB power) or in a dark room after a breakup, it would be this one. Far and above the biggest departure for him artistically, this mellowed-out, acoustic album sounds like Air-meets-The Mountain Goats. Beautifully chill disc.
- Kong toys - Not much satiates Jonas. Well, besides horse tranquillizers. But one day this week I stuffed a few Pupperoni sticks inside this rubber wonder toy and capped it off with peanut butter. I guarantee you he spent the entire day occupied by getting it licked bone-clean. You would have thought he won the doggy lottery.
- Alpha (A-M) t-shirt - I love me some shirts (but not like Andy though). This shirt screams “bored on the phone or at a meeting doodling.” In blue, please.
- Design Observer’s redesign - I typically don’t go gah-gah over flipping a site. But seeing as how much of a dramatic improvement it was, and how gorgeous the new layout is, I’m loving it this week.
That’s it for FTILFF-Michael Jordan. Time to start June Michael Jordan in the Olympics+5, 2006!
I suck.
