if i ever get stranded on an island for the rest of my life and could bring only one book, it'd be pride and prejudice. it's an endlessly fascinating story that i can live again and again. every time i finish reading the book, i sigh contentedly but always lament, why aren't there so many other genuinely smart and clever romantic novels out there ( Read more... )

deciding to forego my usual dose of quasi-depressing news during the morning commute when it turned really depressing, i switched over to K-Mozart b/c i left my CDs at home and LA radio sucks (w/ the rare gem of KCRW). and every morning at 7:15, KMZT plays a John Phillip Sousa march!!! they call it a Sousa-larm! what a great way to start the day ( Read more... )
