LISTENING to the Philip Glass and Album Leaf Spotify radio stations, since I can't write (or read) to music with words. Explosions in the Sky was my go-to lyric-less music for ages, but I've been finding it brings out A LOT of melodramatic and nostalgic feelings, which isn't always what I'm going for.
READING Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl, Bittersweet by Shauna Niequist, and The Goldfinch by Donna Tarte. The Goldfinch is so good, but man, I feel like I've been reading it forever without much progress.
EATING salad, salad, salad and more salad. My body is craving raw veggies in what I believe is a desperate longing for spring.
WATCHING the Before Sunrise trilogy (for the first time!). I was lucky to come across all three at the library last week, and Mark and I watched the first last night. We both loved it so much, and it made us want to travel more together (not that we really needed a movie to inspire those feelings).
LOOKING at snow outside my window. Both covering the ground and falling from the sky. On March 25. This graphic about the seasons has never seemed more true.
WORKING on two albums with our photos from Ireland and Europe, which I plan to order through Artifact Uprising.
COVETING some Everlane t-shirts, a pair of boyfriend jeans, these triangle rings, and this necklace.
JUST FINISHED WATCHING True Detective and GIRLS. True Dectective was getting so much buzz that we had to watch it. It was a bit cliched, creepy at times, and had a slower pace than I expected, but Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey have great chemistry together. And GIRLS was fun and maddening and self-involved, as expected.
SLEEPING so well. We finally hung curtains in our bedroom (six years after moving in), and the cat isn't waking us up three times every night anymore, so we're actually sleeping the whole night through. Combine that with a good vitamin regimen and I'm feeling like an actual human.
THINKING about how-- as a creative person-- I can better use my skills to serve a wider good instead of just creating for pleasure.
Haha that graphic was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteCurrently I'm…
*Listening to the Book Riot podcasts - I am hooked and that's thanks to you my friend!
*Looking forward to a trip to NYC this weekend.
*Sleeping not enough - it's like my body can't rest as much as it needs (hopefully this changes soon).
*Thinking about the year ahead and getting overwhelmed. One step at a time.
You have good taste. I like Philip Glass too. Love the Before Sunset trilogy, even if my husband hates them :) The last one was so bittersweet but true to life. I'm also in Chicago so I am utterly sick of the winter too. I only just moved here in November so it has not been a great welcome :)
