Eating: My weight in brownies from Jamie. Yum.
Making: Secret.Family.Craft.Project.
Reading: Still reading the same two books as last week: 1) at home: Dad’s and my challenge book for the month, “The New Granta Book of the American Short Story” edited by Richard Ford, and 2) in transit: “Absurdistan” by Gary Shteyngart . Close to finishing #2, which has been a hilarious ride so far, and definitely spending some time gazing at the bookshelves, pondering what’s on deck.
Watching: Summer TV kickoffs of Burn Notice, The Cleaner, The Closer, Saving Grace and the wonderful, truly awesome, so enjoyable Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. (I had more to say ova heah.) Also rewatching lots of old favorites. As well as (re)watching BSG season 4 so far. Wanting to see Wanted again…Sooooo good. (So good that I haven’t written it up? Slacker!)
Listening: Mostly to SModcasts. About five in the past four days or so? As my Dad says, “those two make great traveling companions.” Also (re)listening to the latest albums from Madonna, Gnarls Barkley, Coldplay, Meg Hutchinson and Missy Higgins. All as accompaniment to Secret.Family.Crafting. I have a bunch of new stuff I haven’t listened to yet. And there’s Pitchfork (with the Nipper! YAY! NIPPER VISIT!) over the weekend. So we’ll see.
