Eating:<\/u> My weight in brownies from Jamie. Yum.
\n<\/u><\/p>\n

Making:<\/u> Secret.Family.Craft.Project.
\n<\/u><\/p>\n

Reading:<\/u> Still reading the same two books as last week: 1) at home: Dad’s and my challenge <\/a>book for the month, “The New Granta Book of the American Short Story” edited by Richard Ford<\/strong>, and 2) in transit: “Absurdistan” by Gary Shteyngart <\/strong>. Close to finishing #2, which has been a hilarious <\/em>ride so far, and definitely spending some time gazing at the bookshelves, pondering what’s on deck.
\n<\/u><\/p>\n

Watching:<\/u> Summer TV kickoffs of Burn Notice<\/strong>, The Cleaner<\/strong>, The Closer<\/strong>, Saving Grace <\/strong>and the wonderful, truly awesome, so enjoyable Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog<\/strong><\/a>. (I had more to say ova heah<\/a>.) Also rewatching lots of old favorites<\/a>. As well as (re)watching BSG <\/strong>season 4 so far. Wanting to see Wanted <\/strong>again…Sooooo good. (So good that I haven’t written it up? Slacker!)
\n<\/u><\/p>\n

Listening:<\/u> Mostly to SModcasts<\/strong>. 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<\/strong>, Gnarls Barkley<\/strong>, Coldplay<\/strong>, Meg Hutchinson <\/strong>and Missy Higgins<\/strong>. All as accompaniment to Secret.Family.Crafting. I have a bunch of new stuff I haven’t listened to yet. And there’s Pitchfork <\/a> (with the Nipper! YAY! NIPPER VISIT!) over the weekend. So we’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
