At the moment

1.
Don't know much about history... I really am fuzzy for most of it, so I bought this book and took Friday evening off (no housework, no thesis edits) to read it. It has been far too long since I last started a book. This one is great and I love it. I recommend it highly.

B and I are looking for a new place to live. He would like a condo, but condos here generally cost more than houses, at least in the neighbourhoods we'd like to live in, and the nice ones have outrageous fees. I like the density of most condos but they are all geared to that hip, young, professional demographic - which is totally us! Unfortunately, there is a limit to my appetite for stainless steel appliances. We'd both like to live in a co-op but they are rare. I wrote a list entitled 'My Ideal House' which has built-in flexibility regarding form of housing tenure.

3.
I have been trying to watch more TV. I'm fussy about TV. I like it to be interesting but not too interesting. Excessive plot twists will do to a show what excessive condiments will do to food. Not necessary. Right now, I'm into this. I look forward to it, but I'm not changing my desktop picture or anything.

4.
We have a plot at the community garden again. It is bigger than last year's, and closer to the road, so we will have to be very strategic about our choice of crops. No bright red tomatoes screaming, Steal me! I'm thinking, cabbage.

This week's breakfast music was this album. Man. It is good. The whole thing.
