July 23

Honestly, am all about listening to Giants games, watching J play basketball, playing tennis, and driving kids to their camps, classes, and sports. Not much along the lines of Cultcha. But that's summer for you. I'll lock myself into dark theatres soon enough, I promise.

Seeing:
Cherry Orchard--NT Live. I have yet to see a production of Cherry Orchard that actual moves me. I'm sure it's in my future, somehow. Lopahin in this one was fantastic. But overall, I mainly admired the gorgeous design (especially lighting) and pretty much forgot the show by the time I got to my car.
I managed to skip JAW entirely. Felt like a good year to take off.

Reading:
Just started Random Harvest by James Hilton. Love it.
Read two pages of Hip Hop Matters. Slow going.
Re-reading How I Paid for College on the treadmill. Love it.
Read Interred With Their Bones, as per recommendation of young Hamlet!

Movies:
Horrible Bosses. Hilarious.
Watched the Moneyball trailer 10 or 20 times.

Books on CD:
Re-listened to Bossypants and Steering by Starlight. Starting The Nanny Diaries.

TV:
The Franchise, Episode 1!
