in lieu of the entry i've been composing in my brain, late at night when i lay down to sleep, regarding the differences i see between myself and other so-called loners; i present you with 3 technically 4 things i am recently enamored with:

Jennifer Michael Hecht- specifically the book "The Happiness Myth."  Seriously, she's a historian, philosopher, and poet.  She could probably write an interpretation of the phone book and i would love it, but this book is super lovely.

Sweet Home Alabama, performed as a soundcheck by Sigur Ros.  Surreal, yet amazing.  You should (right-click, save as) listen.

Flickr's what's on my desk pool.  also, Flickr's what's in my bag cluster.  i could (and have, and do) spend hours looking through these.
