Four Things


I kind of liked this tag that Cheryl, Martina and Fi did, so I’m going to have a go, feel free to join in too!

4 things I’m looking forward to:
*Seeing Handmade Nation on Saturday and visiting the Crafty exhibition
*My Diana Edelweiss arriving in the mail
*finding a new book to read – any suggestions?
*spring/summer (still months off I know, but I live in hope of some sunshine)

4 things I did yesterday:
* grocery shopping while listening to obscure radiohead tracks on my ipod (ie the bonus disc from the In Rainbows vinyl set – it’s really good)
* enjoyed some mint and green tea and an original glazed krispy kreme donut (purchased on the way back from Melbourne)
* had a little sleep in
* ironing (ugh yuk!)

4 things I wish I could do:
* stay on holidays for much much longer (while still getting paid of course!)
* play an instrument, maybe the drums! Something loud anyway.
* buy a house, but sadly not on the agenda for a while yet
* have a permanent job, being on a contract at a time like this is awful!

4 TV shows I watch:
* Masterchef – again I admit I am strangely hooked.
* Grand Designs
* Rage – on Saturday afternoons on abc2 when it’s the guest programmers (I no longer stay up till 3am watching as I once did). My favourite programmer was Malcolm McLaren, he played some fantastic stuff.
*Teachers – even though it is just repeats I still love it.

4 places I want to travel to:
* Tokyo
* Paris
*New York
*London – yep right now it’s the big four.

4 places I’ve lived – well I’ve only lived in the same state, so I’m changing this to 4 songs I love right now:
* Up on the Ladder - from above mentioned Radiohead cd
* The Trapeze Swinger – Iron and Wine
* Daniel – Bat for Lashes
* Back to the Start - Lily Allen

Fun to read. Happy you jumped in. I like how you switched up places for songs. I have been listening to Radiohead alot again after not having listened to this favorite band for awhile. Ironing is sucko! But I am always happy when it's done and away.

Runaway by Alice Munro is beautiful.

Like your 4 things Catherine! Have you read any Kate Atkinson? I would recommend any of her books. If you haven't read The Shadow of the Wind ...you must! By Carlos Ruiz Zafon - really good and I am reminded of it as, after a number of years, his second book has just been published and is coming on holidays with me! Hope your first week back flies by!

Fun to read. Regarding books, one of my all time favourites is The Time Traveller Wife by Nancy ? (sorry, can't remember!) Brilliant, brilliant book. I know Fullers have it.

Right now I am reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski which is quite different from anything I have read but it's really good. And I recently finished reading A Fraction of the Whole by Steve Toltz which was fantastic.
Also just finished finished the Wilco book - Learning how to Die by Greg Kot which was insightful!

Fun read! I'm jealous of your new Holga- can't wait to see what you come up with!

I've just read the Sweet Life in Paris - David Lebowitz, it's fantastic-you'd love it!

oh wow - can't wait to see photos from your new camera - i'd love to see how it goes as i've been considering purchasing one (i have WAY too many cameras tho).
my fave book from last year was A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole and I still can't get over how great it was!

Jac said...
