On this rainy Friday, I figured I'd take a moment to spout about the things that I find comforting. My current favorite things, if you will.
- Strawberry jam on Jewish rye for breakfast.
- Red wine, especially the Spanish or Argentine variety.
- The three ABs on TV: Anthony Bourdain, Alton Brown, and Alec Baldwin.
- Knitting... that scarf will be ready by summer. Dammit.
- Running with Bear. Moo runs. Moo staggers. Bear power-walks. It's sad that the dog's in better shape than me.
- Pho ga... there's nothing like good chicken noodle soup.
- Trying to cook Indian food. Yes, you just heard the collective horrified gasp of many Indian grandmothers.
- Pilates with J. You know it burns so good when it hurts to cough afterwards.
- Eating vegetables. I hate beets.
- Tinkering with my new espresso maker.
- Pondering what to do with the rest of my life. Eeek!
- Working through seven seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. In the 90's, I gave up on it after the original first season. I had no idea DS9 turned out to be so good. Second only to The Next Generation, methinks.
- American Gladiators. I would totally apply to be on that show if I wouldn't be smushed like an insect by the gladiators.
- The Other Boleyn Girl. Trashy, dramatic, riveting... wait, it's the English monarchy! The book was great and I expect the movie to be pretty good. Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, and Eric Bana are the icing on the cake.
