currently obsessed with: heirloom tomatoes
and corn on the cob.
cooking, baking, reading, crosswords, decorating, shopping, farmers markets, wearing uncomfortable shoes, reading maps, thai food, making up silly dances and songs, just ask erik.
"oh my god, sociability is just a big smile and a big smile is nothing but teeth, i wish i could just stay up here and rest and be kind."

right now: nothing. absolutely nothing.
continuing: entourage. ugly betty. monarch of the glen. good eats. oh, and mourning the loss of gilmore girls.
right now:
madame bovary
otherwise i'm obsessed with historical fiction, cookbooks that read like novels and reference books about words.
