On a bland Sunday like today where nothing happens (and most Sundays are like this for me, and most days are like Sundays), I compile a list of recent things that have given me some pleasure (notice I didn't say happy, cuz that would just be overstating it):
- The O.C. Complete Series dvd set (California, here I come)
- Yamo's (Burmese joint at 18th Street & Mission) fish chowder noodle
- Matt G and Kris Allen on American Idol this season
- Mel & Mike on Amazing Race 14 (unfortunately they just got eliminated tonite)
- The return of Samantha Who? (I think this is the only sitcom I watch these days)
- The slight bounce-back of the stock market (hope, baby, hope)
- M Ward's Hold Time, follow-up to the magnificent Post War
- My mom's apartment building finally gets an elevator
- Trader Joe's frozen steel cut oatmeal
- Custom Burger's sweet potato fries (sweet potato fries are my latest obsession)
- The character of Midori Kobayashi from Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Woods (a girl who likes S&M porno and takes good care of her sick father - what more can you ask for?)
- Discovering for the first time Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea (see earlier post - one day we will die...but for now we are young)
They say life is about the little pleasures and not about the big strokes. No kidding, cuz there hasn't been any stroking lately...
