The things I've been doing which I shouldn't because I have 2 papers due on Monday:

I listen to a little bit of music.... I subscribe to KCRW's Today's Top Tune podcast and got this yesterday Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On) First thought: so bizarre! Second: so cool! Who woulda thunk? And then came across this piece of news today. T Bone Burnett produced the album. Genius. This reminds me of Radiohead making a score for a dance company. Or Ira Glass (of This American Life) collaborating with Chris Ware (comic artist). Shouldn't there be more unexpected crisscrossing off stuff out there! Which two unlikely artists you think would churn out great art together?

Okay, maybe a bit more music...

• NPR All Songs Considered podcast - Stars in concert, Spoon in concert. Can one say enough good about NPR? No, probably not. And I'm becoming a big fan of Stars.
  
• Stephen Marley. A friend promised me goosebumps because he sounds like the true heir of Bob's. And truly.
  

I stumble onto cafes and restaurants. Today, found Little Cupcakes, a quaint, teeny, cute, place that sells coffee and yep, cupcakes! on Degraves. Angelenos, their cupcakes remind me of Sprinkles, smaller, but tasty frosting. I had the dark chocolate and SG had the cheesecake. The decor and presentation were really lovely, too. They just opened a month ago. Must go back.

I log on to Facebook. Darn that thing. More old friends have been showing up to it so it's been fun to check out. I've come to appreciate how FB, unlike the other social networks, have a higher default privacy setting. Not only is that admirable, it sets it apart from the rest. Clean design and good UI help make it more enjoyable. But people, please, stop with the add-ons.
