I'm reading Heat...and can't wait to start reading I Saw Two Englands by HV Morton. I'm watching Project Runway again! Tim Gunn is on my television again and I'm delerious with joy! I'm listening to Nashville Sputnik (who could resist a song like Dance of the Living Dead Chickens?). I'm wanting The Sims3...but my computer won't handle it. Sigh. I'm loving Ben & Jerry's Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream. I'm smelling delicious ripe tomatoes. Ah Plummy, again I find a point of fabulous agreement between us: a mutual hatred of Grease!

Listening: Abney Park, because that's all I've had time to re-load on my iPod after my parents' second virus attack this year.

It's dense, expressionistic, sublimely written, and dream-like. Smelling: Vanilla-scented essential oil, as ever. Cost me about $NZ13 and has lasted forever (3 years+), I get loads of compliments for it, too. Loving: Sister Spit - performing in London this weekend, dropping science worldwide http://www.sisterspit.com/ Hating: the media treatment of Caster Semenya. Grrr. Your gender is one person's business: yours. Reading: Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man – it was one of the 5 must-reads I planned for my (nerd alert, y’all) 50 books challenge this year.
