Time flies...

Seriously how have three weeks gone by without a post? Probably because being out of town for three weeks makes me three weeks behind on everything else.

Here's a peek at what I've been reading. And such.

Like this incredibly wonderful issue of Spirit that I read on my flight home to Seattle from Chicago on St. Pats:

And some wonderful goodies I found at the Greenwood branch of the Seattle Public Library, which is completely my new weekend hangout since I FINALLY got a Seattle library card: { P.S. SPL totally lets you choose what photo you want on your card. Clearly, I had to choose the greatest mountain of all time. }

Date nights with John at my favorite local brewery: 

A little Best American Nonrequired Reading during a space store volunteer shift: 

A lovely valentine from my friend Megan: 

So, what has everyone else been up to?

winter weekend

It is a really beautiful, sunny winter Saturday here in Chicago. I've spent the morning catching up on reading, being attacked by my cat Zooey and sipping some freshly french-pressed coffee... and procrastinating doing anything that's actually on my to do list.

Here's something I read this morning in Rabbit is Rich that I really enjoyed:

Stepping out between the monumental pillars into the winter daylight blinking, Janice and Harry owned a house, and the day after tomorrow would fy into summer. For years nothing happens; then everything happens. Water boils, the cactus blooms, cancer declares itself. 

I hope everyone else is having an equally lazy and enjoyable weekend.

Currently reading

I just started two new books: "Dune" and "Killing Yourself to Live".

Cole brought me "Dune" when he visited and said it is a must-read but it is just too big and bulky to read on the train, so Klosterman is my new CTA read.
