Place ...at my kitchen desk, under the ceiling fan. Have I shown you my kitchen desk yet? Here it is...
Drinking Water. I drank an iced Americano and an iced tea at Starbucks this morning, so I’m a little overcaffeinated right now.
Reading I also left my in-progress book on my desk at the office on Friday, so I started something else from the small stack of “books that aren’t in boxes because they’ve just shown up in the last few weeks.” I don't know: In Praise of Admitting Ignorance (Except When You Shouldn't) by Leah Hager Cohen is an odd little book--it feels a bit like a very expanded journal article--but I’m marking a bunch of passages in it, and I could potentially finish it before I get my other book back on Monday. Depends what else I end up doing with the rest of this weekend, I suppose...and I do have a big project underway, so we’ll see.
Watching Not all that much right now besides BBC America, where Copper and Broadchurch are approaching the end of their seasons, but starting to get psyched for the end of rerun season (which we’ve actually used in the old-school catch-up fashion to get Spencer into Arrow). Oh, and Jon Stewart is back!
Listening Even though today wasn’t a commuting day, I actually spent some time reading an audiobook--I was so close to finishing Beautiful Ruins that I didn’t want to drag out the last hour till Monday morning. I hope to get the review written soon, but I’ll say this now: I think I’m ready to start on those Italian lessons my husband’s been telling me he wants me to take!
Pondering What to expect from an online writing workshop I’ll be starting at the end of the month. Just because I’ve been exposing my writing here for over six years doesn’t mean I’m not nervous about exposing it to structured critique from people who know what they're doing!
Blogging I thought I’d post more than I did this past week, but I think I may be right back in the three-post-a-week habit. I’d still like to get up to four, though. With two book reviews to write and some photoblogging, that might happen this week. Or not. I may decide to hold something over till next week. I’m working on balancing consistency with looseness.
Hating The heat. My iPhone says it’s 95 degrees out right now. It’s been like this for a couple of weeks, although the forecast says we’ll cool down to the upper 80s by later next week. I’m not sure I believe it. Summer in Southern California tends to run several weeks behind the rest of the country, so when your leaves are turning, we may still be burning (because Fire Season tends to last into November).
Anticipating Spending much of the rest of this weekend unpacking the book boxes and setting up the new shelves, which arrived this weekend! I’m planning to document the process in pictures, but here’s what I’ll be working with.

How’s your weekend going?
