10 pear salads to make you forget about apples. For a while, at least.
This is some next level humidity up in here. 70%! Seven zero!
Surprisingly, the Bangkok I’ve seen on this trip looks very little like The Hangover 2.

The best thing about this movie is the characters are not black and white. The movie is shown through the eyes of a delinquent teenage girl named Mia. Michael Fassbender is brilliant as the charming boyfriend Mia’s neglectful Mother brings home one day. He shows Mia a kindness she has never received before and she struggles to understand it. There’s a voyeuristic quality as nothing feels rehearsed and the film doesn’t judge the characters for their actions.
If you are not yet on the Michael Fassbender is a genius and completely hot bandwagon, this movie will convert you. It is streaming on Netflix, so no excuses. You’ll thank me later.
Two previously unreleased tracks from Neutral Milk Hotel, my favorite band from the ’90s that I didn’t know about in the ’90s, are now available on walkingwallofwords.com. Very enjoyable, take a listen here.
The Muppets and OK Go do seem to go together like Gonzo and Camila the Chicken or Beaker and Dr. Honeydew or Dr. Teeth and his Electric Mayhem Band. It’s not a great video but at this point I’m happy for as much Muppet coverage as possible until the new movie comes out. [via nymag]

Very little happens in Brooklyn Heights. During Truman Capote’s years here, his friends would enquire, “But what do you do over there?” It was a fair question—and an eternal one. Mine wonder the same thing. One pleasure of America’s first suburb is that it is, to an extent unusual in an ever-churning city, impervious to change—economically, structurally, but also in a more fundamental sense: The question, Did anything happen in the Heights today? can almost always be answered with Not much.

Cute Girl outfit from last week. Behind the scenes fact: it was much too hot out when we took the picture for me to be wearing that jacket but the outfit worked better with it on. I’m wearing a H&M jacket, Madison Marcus blouse, J.Brand pants (so comfy!), J. Crew necklace and Barneys Co-Op shoes (70 percent off!).
