Things I Love Thursday: Juneuary edition
Jun. 2nd, 2011 12:10 pmThings i Love Thursday:
*Cowboy boots They are helping me feel happier about all this rain, because it means wearing them is not only badass but practical. They are super comfy and warm, and when I wear them with my denim skirt I feel like Amy Pond. Speaking of Amy Pond…
*Doctor Who Obviously. This season has me seriously concerned—so many things are happening! So many questions are raised! So many of them will not get answers! So many cliffhangers will be left… hanging! Damnit, Moffat. I’m really trusting you here, and you better round out S6 with the same amount of heart and flair that S5 had. Of course we have a ridiculous cliffhanger this week (I do like how Moffat et al are not being at all coy about this though), and then all summer to wait for the second half. Oh lord. I’ve also just gotten to S5 in my rewatch with the Gentleman Caller, and oh I love that season. Amy and the Doctor are so beautiful, and Rory is so bumbling, and the Soldier-Daleks are so cute.
* Designing for Theater I feel like…a cool designer, which I never got to do for real before (and by for real, I mean not-for-class) and it’s quite fun. I’ve got groundplans and sketches for the set for Hedda Gabler, which is going to be simple and abstract but hopefully work quite well. And it’ll get painted and pulled together in a frenzy because it’s a BE show, and they always do. (If anyone wants to help me paint, let me know.) And I went to Goodwill and scoured the kitchenware section and got saucepans and colanders and strange wibbly metal implements to bash together and solder into knight helmets for Balagan! Plus papier mache to the max, starting next week. And paint. And getting messy in the name of art. Yes!
* Train trips & travel The weekend before last the Gentleman and I took the train to Portland to visit ma cherie Anna and the city itself, and it was fabulous to travel, especially on a train, which makes me feel tres sophistique, and to have a day of exploring. Portland is wonderful—feels cozy, easy to get around, generally a great atmosphere. I could stand to live there, for sure. Plus I got to see Anna and cavort in a rainy rose garden (sans roses) and introduce the Gentleman to the wonder that is Powell’s, and eat delicious food from food carts, and…and…yes.
&etc:
exhausting myself with Folklife this weekend; my fun new bracelets; waking up to sweet texts at seven am; frozen thin mint cookies; jasper fforde’s newest book; layering nail polish to make new colors; late-night picnics in bed; doctor who novels from powell’s; those sunbreaks we occasionally get.
What do you love?
