As I write this post, a steady April shower is falling on New York.
Reading: MaddAddam by Margaret Atwood
Video: The new (and final?) season of Mad Men. I also finally got around to watching Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel.
Audio: For some reason I’ve been on an Elliott Smith kick lately.
Eats & Treats: KIND bars, especially Dark Chocolate, Sea Salt & Nuts and Dark Chocolate, Cherry & Cashew
Drinks: Ginger tea
Reading: I just started the young adult novel Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell, loaned to me by my friend T.
Video: Over the past week, Mr. TC and I watched the one-season series “The Top of the Lake.”
Audio: Fiona Apple, all four albums.
Eats & Treats: Irish soda bread!
Drinks: I wanted a Guinness on St. Patrick’s Day, but I ended up drinking ginger tea because I had a cold.
Beauty Products: It’s not spring yet, but I’ve been wearing pretty pink lip glosses, including Pop Beauty’s Peony Petal and Buxom’s Dolly.
I’ve had the “mean reds” for much of the past month, which may be why I almost forgot to write this post!
Reading: I finished The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, and I’m trying to make a dent in my pile of unread New Yorkers.
Video: Downton Abbey and Sherlock, of course… and now they’re both over!
Audio: Beck’s “Morning Phase”
Brrrrr!
Reading: Palisades Park by Alan Brennert, a novel set in a famous New Jersey amusement part in the 1930s-40s; it was a Christmas gift from Mr. TC.
Video: New seasons of Downton Abbey and Sherlock, obviously! I also just saw Spike Jones’s Her at the movies.
Eats & Treats: Mostaccioli, Italian chocolate-coated ginger-spice cookies that our local Italian grocer only stocks around Christmastime!
Beauty Products: Laura Mercier Stick Gloss in Peony (I’m on a Laura Mercier kick)
Garb: Little fur scarves. I know, I know, there are reasons not to wear fur. But these were gifts, and I do love them so much in the winter.
