Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Etc.

+ Kat

Listening: Cyndi Lauper, She's So Unusual; Unwound, Fake Train; Goldfrapp, Seventh Tree (Alison Goldfrapp has one of my favorite voices of all time); and the new Beach House record, Devotion, which is so goddamn lovely and soothing during the mid-winter doldrums
Watching: In Bruges, which is both amusing and tiresome (I mean, really, how many midget jokes can one movie have?); Persepolis, which j'adore, but read the books, too; Come Early Morning (I really liked this movie even though not a lot happens; it's a nice character sketch and made me wish that Ashley Judd did more roles like this)
Reading: Essays and Poems by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wearing: Edun black funnel neck tunic, J Brand skinny jeans, black vintage riding boots
Wanting: I really want to be a morning person. I'm trying really hard!

+ Liz

Listening: my favorite song right now = "I Love L.A." by Rilo Kiley, which is not a Randy Newman cover. Actually, that might not even be the real title of the song. If you too love L.A., you can listen/watch here and download an mp3 here.
Watching: waaaay too much Sex & The City, but it's really the only thing for my severely cold/flu-addled brain.
Reading: the issue of New York with Lindsay Lohan on the cover and the new Nylon and "The Lies and Follies of Laura Albert, aka JT Leroy" from L.A. Weekly
Wearing: pajamas all the time!
Wanting: to not be sick anymore, please. And to see Be Kind Rewind. And for that Olga Kapustina empire mini dress to stop taunting me from the racks of The Kids Are Alright and magically make its way into my closet.

+ Laura

Listening: Sam and the Plants; Salt-n-Pepa's throbbing and rhapsodic Heaven or Hell, one of the most substantial and important songs that has ever been put to tape; oh yeah, and VER SACRUM
Watching: Whit Stillman's Metropolitan, which is charming, restrained and entirely not annoying which is surprising since the whole movie consists primarily of dialogue from snooty New York U.H.Bs (Urban Haute Bourgeoisies) AKA the thing in the world that I tend to find most obviously grating
Reading: Just finished The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster- normally I dislike Auster's novels-- he seems like he would be a crotchety jerk-off in real life, I am mega-resentful of his daughter, and also, he doesn't seem to love words very much (considering he's a novelist and all). But this book is captivating and also heart-warming. I sincerely recommend it.
Wearing: Keep Company Junipers!- I've wanted these forever and finally they are mine all mine. Unfortunately my wearing of them is presently confined to indoor spaces as there are ten inches of snow on the ground outside my door.
Wanting: Until winter is officially over, it is hard for me not to fill out this portion of my snapshot with: For winter to be officially over! There is no material good on the planet that could possibly compensate for how badly I want it to be shorts weather-- except for maybe a theremin. But that's it. So: summer and a theremin.
