Being inspired
all of us: The Bauhaus show at Moma Two visits and two books later, we're all still talking and thinking about the show.
Reading
Me: The Pushcart War, by Jean Merrill: Remember this book? I'm enjoying re-reading it and catching the vocal inflections of the characters this time around. I keep thinking about the Essex Street Market in our neighborhood, which was apparently started when the pushcarts were moved to a permanent location to get them out of the way on the streets. It's still a great place to shop.
Tsia: Socks, the last of our lengthy Beverly Clearly list. Now that we've reached the end, can anyone suggest other books for us? We prefer non-scary books that a four-year-old can relate to.
Todd: catching up on old issues of The New Yorker, which is also next on my to-read list.
Listening
http://family-travel-magazine.blogspot.com/http://family-travel-magazine.blogspot.com/Tsia: They Might Be Giants, No! This is a fun CD, in part, because she can play it on our computer and enjoy little games while she listens. I keep singing the little ditties to myself, too.
Todd and me: Radiolab. So interesting and thought-provoking. But we're public-radio geeks, I guess. Musically, Miriam Makeba is currently at the top of my want-to-hear list. Can anyone suggest a favorite album to try?
Watching
Doc Martin on Hulu.com. We want to visit the little fishing town in Cornwall where this British TV series is filmed. Gorgeous. And a very funny show in that wonderful understated British manner. If there were more programs like this, we'd probably get a TV!
Helvetica documentary. I've been meaning to see this for quite a while.
Lots of questions (sewing-related and other) on formspring. Anything you want to know?
