Reading: The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles

Audio: I’m on a Rasputina kick again, for some reason, and I’m already sorry I’m going to miss their upcoming April NYC show.

Video: Black Mirror, Season 4

Art: I need to see the Grant Wood show at the Whitney, but I probably won’t get there for a few more weeks…

Drink: Lavazza coffee in a tiny French press that works well for the office

Eats & Treats: Irish soda bread

Garb: David Bowie t-shirts at various unexpected moments of the day

Beauty Products: I’m testing a new (to me) foundation. It’s Dior Forever Perfect etc. etc. liquid foundation in shade #10. I switch foundations about once per decade, so we’ll see…

Pleasure: Having my article about perfume Ann Haviland nominated for a Perfumed Plume award

Worry: The usual…deadlines, my still-healing ankle (it’s fine, just slow), the need for spring cleaning of all kinds!
