I've just set some potatoes to boil and I thought I'd jot a quick post. I'm making kielbasa, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes for dinner. This dinner makes me miss living with my brother. We had an eat-in kitchen and occassionally I'd make dinner for everyone and we'd sit, laughing, talking, eating, listening to good music. It was fun. Eating alone is no fun.
I'm pages from Wuthering Heights's end. Though the main characters have driven me mad through most of the book, it's rare that I sit forward on the L while reading, as if I'm trying to get as close as I can to the book. It kept me quite absorbed, though I doubt I'll read it again.
I'm planning on doing my Etsy recommendations next week. At least three days, touching on prints, jewelry and bags and other miscellaneous things. So tune in next week!
(Currently listening to my long-lost Motown Extravaganza mixtape I made circa end of high school. I love this tape and thought it was lost in the many moves I've had over the years. Before Elaine left for her travels through Asia, she asked if I had a cassette walkman to borrow. I did, in a box somewhere, from college. In it, forgotten, was my beloved mix! Happiness all around. Current song: "The Tracks of My Tears" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.)
Hooray for Motown! I love the Blues Brothers/Motown mix you made for me back in the day (I don't even remember what "day" it was, but it was certainly "back").
I have just finished reading Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov. If you like postmodern OMG-we-love-pretty-words! questionably-reliable-narrator kinda stuff, check it out. :) The vocabulary alone is astounding.
