Making: Fucking nothing. That’s right, NOTHING.

Reading: So my dad and I had this conversation about how we both just lovelovelove Slightly Foxed but we were both falling behind in reading it because every time you read it, you spend half the time you’re reading it running around looking for books in your “library” you’ve forgotten about and figuring out if you have that book by that author or some other book and going and buying more books because now it’s reminded you of a book…. Yeah and our ultimate conclusion to this long conversation was that sometimes you just have to read them to enjoy reading what they’re saying about things and NOT let yourself get into a frenzy of adding more and more things to your to-be-read pile. So last week I read the last four issues. And then I was at loose ends. OH NO. What to do. Then the Miracle Man came to visit from Hong Kong yesterday and we wandered by a bookstore and Holy Shit, Haven Kimmel has a new book out! Why didn’t anyone tell me??? So yeah. Now I’m reading “The Used World” by Haven Kimmel.

Watching: Fucking boatloads of fresh fall TV. Boatfuckingloads, I tell you.

Listening: New albums from bands I have loved awhile now: Athlete, The Thrills, Rogue Wave. The awesomely atmospheric Eddie Vedder soundtrack. New albums from James Blunt and Kanye (I like this one more and more the more I listen to, although I still agree with my initial thoughts that it’s not as joyful)… Of course, Ben Harper hasn’t left the rotation. New boys like Jeremy Fisher. New (to me) girls like Meiko, and Maria Taylor, and Sara Bareille…
