Sunday, January 2

Read: Patti LuPone's memoir. Very dishy and oddly fascinating. I complain a lot about the narcissists in my life, but from a distance they are often very entertaining.

Started Finishing the Hat. It is terrific. I'm maybe 25% of the way through.

Took a book called Mystery Muses on vacation, but was disappointed to find not much substance there--very short blurbs--but the idea was great! Also started and set aside a couple of others that just didn't grab me.

Started: The Blind Side. It is going much, much faster than Moneyball for some reason.

CD: finished A Family Affair (***, great ending, overall a little rushed). Started Sense and Sensibility. Aaaaah!

Movies: watched Despicable Me and The Blind Side with the guys. Both very good!

TV: Leverage, Lie to Me--a couple episodes of each.
