Spaghetti with pesto, arugula salad

Monday. Raining. Blah. Tonight was definitely a pasta night; i.e., I had no ideas for dinner, and no gumption. Well, at least it's pesto. That's pretty exciting.

Even today, I continue to want this jacket. Instead I bought a cool blazer at Esprit yesterday. And then had some Red Mango frozen yogurt in Koreatown.

I've been wanting to do an officially timed NYRR race since the Coney Island 5k.This race is a definite possibility. The Central Park Conservancy Run. 4 miles. 8am. Saturday, July 16. Well that's early. I could do that, right? And it would be in Central Park, which would be totally iconic! I am guessing there will be some hills. And some heat.

The route:

Start on East Drive at 68th Street, head north to make a left/west turn onto the 102nd Transverse. Continue until West Drive for a left/south turn onto the west Drive. Race concludes with a left/east turn to finish on the 72nd Street Transverse.

I'm signing up.

Foil Pocket T in gunmetal, $25 on sale from the Gap

I don't know. This top looks very "designer" on the hanger, even though it's only from the Gap. Very drapey. Potentially flattering. Or not so very. I'll have to try it on.

Fabric, really good. Cut, really bad. Pocket, very strange.

Bookmarc. Catchy, isn't it? [image via Racked]

Did you hear that Marc Jacobs is in the book business? Yes, Bookmarc on Bleecker. He took over the lease of an existing bookstore. So I asked the sales person, "Do you have any Hemingway?" "Yes! Of course," he said and went over to look. "Oh, we're fresh out." (Yeah sure. Like you ever carried Hemingway.)

I suggested, "Maybe if Gristedes goes out of business, he could take over their lease, and call it 'Marctedes.' In the produce section, he could sell Andy Warhol-style bananas instead of real ones. You know, they would have zippers, because they're actually change purses."
