Making:<\/u> Shower gifts. Self portraits (damn you, 365 flickr project, you are killing me).<\/p>\n
Reading:<\/u> After reading the same two books for the first three weeks of the month (“Tree of Smoke” by Denis Johnson <\/strong> and “The Oxford Book of English Short Stories” edited by A.S. Byatt <\/strong>), I’m now in a flurry of finishing, those plus some others thrown in. I haven’t written any January reads up yet, but you can always view the current year’s list <\/a>to know what’s going on. Just finished the Johnson on my way to work today so tonight it’ll be pick out a new book time. Yay! (Either that, or wait until tomorrow when I have time to go to the bookstore and pick up the new Pat Barker<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Watching:<\/u> I finished “catching up” with How I Met Your Mother <\/strong>on my majorly delayed in every direction <\/em>plane rides this weekend, whipping through the end of season 2 and all that’s been shown of season 3 so far (this strike cannot end soon enough!). While Barney cracks me the fuck up (and damn, nice abs, boy), I think Marshall is my favorite character. And I haven’t seen ANY new movies because instead I just keep going with people to see Juno <\/a><\/strong> (their first times, my second, and third, and fourth) again and again.<\/p>\n Listening:<\/u> Over and over again to Sea Wolf “Leaves in the River”<\/strong>, as I have been since mid-December. Also Matt Costa “Unfamiliar Faces”<\/strong>; he has a real sense of fun and joy (and quirkiness) in his tunes. Cat Power “Jukebox”<\/strong> although I like the first three-four songs the best and I usually move on after that. Bought some new stuff in San Fran but haven’t listened yet…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Making: Shower gifts. Self portraits (damn you, 365 flickr project, you are killing me).
