Tuesday the 20th

Morning Commute:
  • Culturetopia podcast. I started listening to this because of Linda Holmes, who now edits the Monkey See blog for NPR and who I first became aware of as Miss Alli on TWOP. Her recaps of Survivor and TAR were hilarious, on-point, and thought-provoking. She made me feel better about being a tv-ophile. Kaela and I went to see The Frames at the Great American Music Hall just bc Miss Alli said she liked them, and I actually even sent her a fan email when she left TWOP.

Nighttime:

  • Sons of Anarchy. They could probably bait me with Juice, too. Feels a little strange how immersed Tara is in her acceptance of the club now, and seeing her go all mean girl with Gemma seems kind of out of place. I suppose it's a good bonding mechanism for them, though.

Nightstand:

  • Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City by Greg Grandin. South America has been a recurring theme in my reading over the past year or so - I read about Teddy Roosevelt and the River of Doubt and The Lost City of Z, both of which were mentioned in the introductory chapter of this book. Doesn't make me actually want to go to the Amazon, but it's good reading.
