Finished ‘The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing’ by Melissa Bank. It started out really well, but the last fifty pages or so were stilted and uneven. Kind of rushed through the ending because I stopped caring. I think I’m in a reading rut.
Not a very exciting day. Meeting at work about our new marketing strategies (company Facebook, Twitter and now a blog, all run by yours truly) and took care of a few errands.
Micaela and I are going to the Jenny Lewis concert on Thursday. I didn’t like three songs off Acid Tongue so I’m hoping she performs more from Rabbit Fur Coat.
Our wedding anniversary came and went (four years, woot woot) and we had a wonderful weekend. I highly recommend checking out Castello di Amorosa if you are in Napa Valley. It was beautiful, interesting and the tour was informative. And the wine is fantastic! We tasted 13 of their varietals and I fell in love with the Pinot Bianco, Gioia and La Fantasia. I liked everything so much, we bought two bottles and I decided to join the Wine Club. Two bottles every month…want to come over and help us drink it?
‘Veronica’ by Mary Gaitskill.
I finished it a few days ago and forgot to mention how BORING it was. Not only did I not care about a single character (including the narrator, Alison) but the story was convoluted, pointless and tried to hard.
FAIL. Do not recommend.
The anniversary of our first date was May 9th. We’ve been together for six years now. Thursday is our four-year wedding anniversary. We bought each other bikes as gifts. I am the proud owner of a pink cruiser.
The traditional gift is flowers. What?! Tim already gives me flowers.
Reading: ‘Skylight Confessions’ by Alice Hoffman
I’m on my second box of Kleenex (the kind with lotion). Its hard to be green when you have an allergy attack [insert obvious + disgusting joke here].
I have asthma (not the kind where I get random attacks, the kind that requires an inhalator twice a day, every day for the rest of my LIFE) so lacking the ability to breathe out of my nose is seriously inhibiting. Eating has become a challenge, but apparently one I am willing to overcome because I ate 4 pieces of chocolate AND a lemon bar today.
In other news, my boss decided to put me on the schedule more but neglected to check if I was actually available to work those days. I wasn’t. Now I can’t do anything about it. FML.
Reading ‘Contact’ by Carl Sagan for what is perhaps the thirtieth time (give or take).
BAD MONDAY.
I am, however, pretty excited for tonight’s episode of ‘House’. I am not happy that I will have to wait until September-October before Hugh Laurie graces my television with his presence.
On Saturday I did a photoshoot with my friends and their new baby, Belle. Here’s a few photos:
5. Under the Lemon Trees by Bhira Backhaus
4. The Witches of Eastwick by John Updike
3. The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie
2. Annette Vallon by James Tipton
1. The Object of My Affection by Stephen McCauley
Just started ‘Veronica’ by Mary Gaitskill… so far ok.
The Pierces “Turn On Billie”
I <3 those nutty girls. Wish they would come on tour in California!
Now if only I understood French…
Anyone know when this is coming to U.S. theatres?
