Eating: Potbelly turkey on skinny wheat, no cheese, just a little mayo. How can a plain turkey sandwich be so stinkin’ good? Also chocolates from Moonstruck in Portland (thanks to Melanie) and Charles Chocolates in San Fran (thanks to Silvia). Because it’s everyone’s goal that I be the fattest girl in the world.
Making: Very very weak attempts at the daisy-stitch handwarmers I told Amanda I’d make her. Ugh, what an annoying pattern, the K3tog, yo, K3tog into the same 3 stitches was way too annoying on wooden needles — talk about hand cramps! Will try again with addis. Lots of THINKING about the quilting I want to get done in the next few weeks, but given I was just out of town for a few days, nothing done on that front.
Reading: Dad’s and my February challenge book “The Good Soldier Svejk” by Jaroslav Hasek (Svejk pronounced Shvayk). It’s hilarious. Total farce. Along the lines of Tristam Shandy. With a few random other things thrown in here and there, particularly in airports, but those are all finished now.
Watching: The same movies over and over (hello Juno, I’ve seen you before. A few times.) with yay! a few fresh episodes of TV (Bros&Sis, Terminator, Jericho, Lost, Eli Stone) thrown in. It’s almost like a season in full swing. Almost!
Listening: For several weeks, all I listened to were the new albums from Nada Surf, Missy Higgins and Clare Bowditch and the Feeding Set. Now I’ve got a few others thrown in including the beautiful Bon Iver (oh did you just hear my heart break?) released yesterday, just for me I like to pretend; a new Mike Doughty, because you can never go wrong with Mike Doughty; the Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, based in Chicago, not Britain; live sneak peeks of tunes off the upcoming Counting Crows double album… There’s a lot going on all of a sudden.

Making: Mix CDs. I had ideas of quilting I would do this week, but so far I haven’t done any. So there you go.

Reading: I just finished a book today; I think tomorrow I’m going to start reading “Ludmila’s Broken English” by DBC Pierre (who won the Booker for Vernon God Little a few years back, which I did enjoy). Somehow three books in this month, everything I read had a red spine. So I decided to keep the trend going for the rest of the month. Oh the crazy ways the reading list evolves.

Watching: This week’s K-Ville I enjoyed. Also loved Juno on the big screen. Maybe Beowulf tomorrow? We’ll see.

Listening: I’ve listened to many many things today as I’ve been running around in iTunes listening to samples of lots and lots of stuff. Plus the new Lupe Fiasco that came out yesterday (“The Cool”). Yay! Love Lupe: : Love it. Also bought Kid SimpleSimple Kid (sounds like Beck’s little brother with some Elliott Smith thrown in) and Nick Light (another melancholy boy, singer, songwriter type), and old Siobhan Donaghy since I can’t find the new one yet (Reckless ordered it for me), which is very girly girly pop. Girly pop! Yay! I have to fill the iPod up for the long ride…

Making: A second Curious George quilt as well as another stripe-y baby quilt. Yadda yadda.
Reading: Short stories by infamous blogger Tod Golberg: “Simplify”. They’re good. As witty and sarcastic as you would have guessed, but more tender than I expected.
Watching: Catching up on TV I was too lazy to watch last week (you know, the ones I don’t HAVE to watch that night when I get home: DS$, Reaper, Gossip Girl), season two of How I Met Your Mother after Michelle got me totally addicted and we whipped through all of Season 1 while she was here, and re(re)watching earlier episodes from the current seasons of Bones and FNL. New (random) episode of The Closer on tonight! Yay! Really want to see both August Rush and Juno (opens tomorrow!) this week.
Listening: To the new Radiohead “In Rainbows”. Yes, I broke down and bought it after Paul said it’s all he’s listened to in two weeks and then it started popping up on everyone’s year-end lists. I haven’t listened to Radiohead in YEARS but I do find this “listenable” which is more than I could say for their last few albums. Also finally bought Augie March “Moo, You Bloody Choir” (it was out in Australia when we went but I had bought an older album instead at the time) and Brother Ali “The Undisputed Truth” (yay! needed some new rap).
