I am hanging out on a particularly rainy Alaskan morning, eating a piece of toast, drinking a cup of coffee and listening to this album. Yes, I know that I am a wee bit late in falling in love with it- but you are all used to my pop-culture deficiencies by now. Anywho, in listening, I realized that the time had come for an August version of obsessions confessions!
Mahjong- thank you Sami Bruce- has taken over my life. Seriously. It's a little ridiculous. I could spend hours looking at those little tiles. I may go blind staring at my computer screen. I need to get a real kit and play in the soft, natural light of the real world.
I have become utterly obsessed with counting down the days until I fly away. In case curiosity has gotten to you- September 22. After that I know that I will have another countdown going- fly to Costa Rica? Get a dog? Get a real job? Who knows.
Also, speaking of cultural deficiencies, how could I possibly NOT have known about Buena Vista Social Club before now? And why did it take Alaska for them to really hit home??
The Glades. Has anyone seen this? Because I am officially obsessed with it- especially on rainy mornings like today... :).
Okay. That's all for now. It's time to be marginally productive. AKA... Mahjong.
Much love to all.
I love the opening scene in BVSC where they are driving into the streets of Havana with the great music. It sets up the whole movie.
