various, etc

Listening to: Ani
Reading: Gaiman's Stardust; Staffords' Queens, Concubines and Dowagers
Writing: Another story about sad southern men
Cooking: Red-wine pot roast with grilled polenta, brown-sugar shortbread cookies
Recently acquired: A French press, a book on Hebrew, three books of short stories that generally make me feel talentless, a feeling of impending finality, a boyfriend of limitless empathy, a drought of words, an obsession with showering and lotion, and a book of Anglo-Saxon poetry that is surprisingly poignant.
Recently desired: A vintage leather jacket (only 60 quid!), a few more hours, deep dish pizza, new highlighters, a cat, a fish, another cactus (mine is flowering), someone to read me to sleep
