Reading: Currently reading: "Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward" by Gemma Hartley. Almost finished; review to come. :) I've already reached my Goodreads 2018 Reading Challenge goal of 24 books! (this would be #25).
Recent purchases:
- "Becoming" by Michelle Obama
- "The Library Book" by Susan Orlean
Listening: To Christmas music. I have a lot of Christmas CDs, but some of our favourites to listen to while we're decorating include A Charlie Brown Christmas (of course), Blue Rodeo's A Merrie Christmas to You, Pink Martini, and Bing Crosby.
Following: After seeing the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" recently, I looked up Queen on social media. One thing led to another and I'm now following both Brian May & Roger Taylor (guitarist & drummer), as well as the actors who played them & the other band members in the film. Judging from their Instagram posts (and their comments on each other's posts), they seem to have had a great time filming and promoting the movie together. Among the gems I found: a Lego version of the movie trailer (Brian May loved it), a "Wayne's World"-inspired deviation from the original "Bohemian Rhapsody" music video that didn't make it into the movie ;) and a lifesized cardboard cutout version of the actor Ben Hardy (who played Roger Taylor in the movie), which accompanied the other celluloid band members on a promotional tour (you have to see the posts!).
Drinking/Eating: Still haven't had a Starbucks gingerbread latte yet. :) I like to have at least one during the season. :)
Wearing: My winter jackets again. :( So far, though, I haven't had to pull out my boots!
Buying (besides books, lol): Christmas presents! :) Not done yet, but I've made a good dent in the list.
Trying: To get used to LED light bulbs. There are only two 60-watt incandescent bulbs left in the house, being used in our living room lamps. :( They are no longer being sold in Canada, and I've exhausted my stash. (Previous blog whine about the incandescent phase-out here.)
Wanting: To get to the nearby art gallery where I have a membership before one of the exhibits closes soon.
Loving: My Christmas tree, now up and decorated. :)
Feeling: Christmas-y. :)
