“I’m kind of just figuring out the themes now of the record, so there’s a lot of — I feel like every word I say is gonna sound super-cliche, but there’s a lot of inner conflict going on.”

—Neko Case on entering the studio to make her new record. Morning Edition will document the process over the coming months. In the first installment, we listen to a song that’s not quite finished, not quite recorded, not even quite written.

My favorite singer, person, and kale-enthusiast is recording a new album. WORD.

So This Happened of the Day: Narcissist chef Anthony Bourdain swung by the Great GoogaMooga Festival in Brooklyn over the weekend for a little Q&A — at which a little girl asked Bourdain how he’d cook a unicorn:

He would roast the loin, grill the legs, braise the forequarter and use the horn to pick your teeth with after the meal. For the record, unicorn marrow is delicious, he says.

Well, she asked. Not sure which is more creepy, though: Bourdain’s answer or a little girl who wants to cook a unicorn.

Katie…..

Stacey….. :/ I was out of town this weekend, so I missed the whole thing. Tony, Cookin’ with Coolio, the steel pig-thing everyone posted on Facebook, the unicorn osso bucco (?), all of it.

Shark Attack brand freezeable margarita tubes are surprisingly good. $2.99 at your local Maryland Fishpaws liquor store.

When my friend Ross, who listens almost exclusively to Willie Nelson, Woody Guthrie, and Johnny Cash, and doesn’t own a television, has become a Jep-friend, we should all just give up.

Freddy’s is the kind of bar that understands you might forget where you are while you’re there. I appreciate that.

Like everyone else in Park Slope tonight, I made kale chips.

Put a little cumin on them. Mmm. Yum.

Um my friend saved this cat from a box and I’ve never ever seen an animal this small. He fits in my hand. Oliver.

Waiting for a new connection at Heathrow, in a line moving at the pace of 2 out of 6 line segments per hour. But I still have half a Coca Light, and my lower back is not yet completely numb. Will keep you posted.

Lunch at one of Jamie Oliver’s ten thousand restaurants, because why not. Happy London Marathon Day!

Do you want to hear something else random about England?

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 17:49:24 -0400

The UK version of that weird, offensive/confusing, unfunny show ‘The IT Crowd’ is actually not bad. It stars the cop from Bridesmaids as sort of a bumbling IT guy at a company, and has nothing to do with xenophobia.

Love,

Katie

I love this tumblr as much as I don’t understand Pinterest.

Can I survive for 10 days in 2 countries with only:

Sun, 15 Apr 2012 17:53:13 -0400

4 pairs of pants
2 dresses
1 skirt
2 sweaters
1 long cardigan
3 skinny belts
4 pairs of shoes (2 heels, 2 flats)
5 shirts
2 scarves
2 blazers
7 necklaces?

Hope so! Because my suitcase will barely close.

Check it out: I’m in Hoboken. There are Path trains hidden all over New York City like an ‘underground railroad’, if you know where to look.

Quick Movie Recommendation: The 5-Year Engagement

I got to see this last night with Caitlin, and enjoyed it more than any movie I’ve seen in a long time (although, to be fair, I’ve been seeing a lot of great, somber, downer movies lately). You should see it just for the sweaters that Chris Parnell’s character knits alone.

Comes out April 27. I’ll go again with you.

“Just follow your intuition, and be smart, and be brave, and tell the truth. And don’t take any shit…. That’s the best advice I can give you.”
