As of 8pm last night...hiiiii, guys, did you miss me?!
Making: time to write - finally - after several weeks of choosing to pursue other things instead (oops).
Cooking: a giant batch of shredded pesto chicken from this recipe, which I can't wait to use to throw together a perfect Caprese...on Wednesday, once the madness of work and classes slows down for the week.
Drinking: the last of today's 100 oz of water, out of a Notre Dame Band pint glass, naturally.
Reading: Aziz Ansari's "Modern Romance" (which I borrowed from Dave, and can't stop laughing at), Marina Keegan's "The Opposite of Loneliness," and "Riches, Rivals and Radicals: 100 Years of Museums in America" (for my museum class!). Also just finished "Commonwealth" by Ann Patchett and it is remarkable.
Wanting: tickets to Joshua Henry's revue in downtown San Francisco next Monday night. Alas, class!
Looking: at the palm trees outside my bedroom window and still marveling over the fact that I live here.
Playing: with the New York Times crossword puzzle app, daily (Dave and I are addicted).
Listening: to La Cenerentola in advance of the Merola Program's performance on August 5th!
Wishing: that this past weekend's Schwegfam reunion here could have lasted like...five more weekends in a row. Too much fun, campers.
Enjoying: Laura's shared affinity for candles (you should see how many we've got hoarded in our extremely girly apartment, oh dear).
Waiting: for next month's trip home and October's NYC trip to see "Dear Evan Hansen" and "Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812!"
Liking: HAIM's new album, quite a lot.
Wondering: what area to explore this weekend. I'm leaning toward the Presidio...
Hoping: that tonight's opera class midterm went as well as I thought it did.
Marveling: at NorCal sunsets. Can you get over that sky up top?!
Needing: to find the perfect blackout drapes and hang my double curtain rod (can't wait for better sleep in a pitch-black room!).
Smelling: my bedside Lilac Blossoms candle, which is olfactory crack in its best, most deliciously floral form.
Wearing: this nightshirt from J.Crew, which I had monogrammed (because, duh, I've never met a monogram I didn't loooove.).
Following: a handful of awesome new literature-centric Instagram accounts (Reese Witherspoon Book Club, Hot Dudes Reading, Books and Abe, The Shelf, and Subway Book Review).
Noticing: how heavenly-cool it gets here after dark. I'm coming to love sleeping with my window open.
Knowing: that I really should set my alarm for ten minutes earlier tomorrow morning. Also knowing that, realistically, I'm not going to do that.
Thinking: about my own mortality, but not in a morbid way, in a healthy way that's largely inspired by recent reading material and class discussions and my conversation about goals(z) with my boss earlier.
Bookmarking: options for wall-hanging wine racks for our kitchen - the "join four wine clubs in a month" choice might've been a tiiiiiny bit excessive.
Giggling: over this hilarious analysis of which past American president would win in a mass knife fight - a longer read, but it's hilarious and well worth it!
Feeling: pretty damn good about things.
