What’s everybody up to this “holiday” weekend? Quotes around “holiday” because it’s just a regular weekend for me and it’s only a holiday in the U.S. Ben is working tomorrow and my house is in desperate need of a good cleaning. So, yay?

On with the Friday Fives!

What I’m Watching: 

Still finishing up 90210 (I’m on season 10!), but I also just noticed that the book I just finished, Theater by W. Somerset Maugham, is also a movie starring Annette Bening. I will be watching it tonight (may have to start it on my lunch hour though!). Now that I see the dvd cover, it does kind of ring a bell. Looks like Bening won a best actress award for it too.

What I’m Reading: 

I’ve started Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde. I’m on, like, page 10, so I haven’t committed yet, but it’s pretty good so far. Good in that it’s a very dramatic story that holds my attention. Sad in that it starts off with the terrible murder of a young police officer.

What I’m Listening to:

Still Crime Junkie for now, but I also discovered the Allah-Las the other day, and contemporary psychedelic surf rock might actually become my thing this summer.

An ATC for a swap group I’m in.

What I’m Making: 

Some collage. Other than that, not much, honestly. I need to get back to my craft table, but I think I’m back in “consumption” vs. “production” mode. (Explanation here.)

What I’m Loving: 

Nothing earth-shattering lately. I’ve been buying fresh flowers for myself lately and it improves my mood every time I look at them. Highly recommend if you can swing it.

Happy weekend!
