These are things that are big in my life right now, every day or most days:
Bok choy! The crunchiest, crispest, tastiest greens to stir-fry. The crunchiness of watercress with the flavor of a nice green onion. I've been trying to learn how to cook one new vegetable per week, and this is the best one so far. Kohlrabi, on the other hand...not a great success.
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I just finished this, after reading it on and off for a year. This is like the LOST of books, am I right? Glad to have finished it, but now I want to scour all the fan blogs and theory pages (assuming they exist) just cuz I'm curious about what other people think.
Venus flytraps. Half of my apartment is technically a basement, and all of it is in an old house in the woods. I got lots of insects lurking just outside my door, and sometimes they sneak in; plants and non-chemical repellents (lots of candles and lemons at my place too) are my favorite weapons in this war, and the VFT is the most fun one.
Sunscreen. Doesn't need explaining!
Water. See above!
Fundamentals of Database Systems textbook. Bo-ring but true. My summer class is rough going but important for my career (maybe). Half.com screwed up my order so I'm borrowing from a friend. Still does not hurt the sting of Databases 1.
Preschoolgems twitter feed: Really helps during Databases lectures. Really, really, really helps.
