the virgin suicides (the book, although the movie is pretty good too). i read middlesex a couple years ago, and i liked it ok, but this book just blew me away. i can't even talk about it academically. it's just really, really good.

i'm going to see the drive-by truckers in may!!!

i'm getting my great-grandmother's kitchen table next weekend.

cross stitching is fun. especially when used for evil! (or, you know, hipster-ish purposes).

i like learning about cajun country. hooray for books.
