things i am thinking about

Wimbledon! May Venus plow the competition.

Millennium Development Goals courtesy of upcoming symposium.

The New Yorker: The Epitome of everything smart, chic and smart. (First issue of my subscription arrived today ... whee!)

Furniture for my room (as it is, I lay in bed all day due to the lack of upright seating objects to plant my butt on): here, here and here . God, I hope I don't get carpal tunnel syndrome or whatever it is you get from reclining uncomfortably all day.

I don't yet own a pair of chopsticks. My ancestors are rolling in their graves.

Grad school in New York. I will apply to this program.

I have not left the house in 24 hours.

California and London.

Wine (I'm almost done with a Riesling and I have a bottle of Pinot Grigio. I should go out to get some Chardonnay tomorrow, if only for the exercise. So pretentious.)

Movies I have watched in the past week: Junebug; Me, You and Everyone We Know; Capote; Breakfast on Pluto; Corpse Bride; and Prozac Nation.

Zadie Smith's On Beauty, which I finished today. Last third of the book was much easier to get through than the first two thirds.

I'm hungry.
