Okay this may be a little bit of a cop out for this week since I am doing very little due to insufficient funds. I will come back with a full list next week but for now here's the things I will be watching/listening/reading this week. Warning not all of these will be current, I will try to shield you from my nostalgia trip of emo music from when I was 15 though!
Reading
Hannah and I are trying to read the same books while she's away, we just finished The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga - which despite not holding much hope for it, I really enjoyed and it kind of reminded me of Crime and Punishment which I also love.
Next book on our list is A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood.
Oh and Hannah's blog of course - http://365daysoftokyo.posterous.com/
Listening
Joanna Newsom - She's getting more popular attention with this latest album. It's quite different to the previous two, which in my opinion isn't a great thing I loved them and I loved her voice. With this latest one I get the feeling some people think she has now 'learned to sing'. This album sounds a little like Joanna has been taking singing lessons from Kate Bush and Frida Hyvonen... again great things but I guess I miss Joanna's unique voice. Further listening needed I guess.
Watching
TV:
- Lost - Still loving it, we're now on episode 7 of the final series and it is better than ever!
- On recommendation from Slice Magazine I am just starting 30 Rock too. I'll let you know how it goes.
Film:
There's a few films that I shamefully haven't seen yet that are just coming out on DVD
- Fantastic Mr Fox
- A Serious Man
- An Education
When I have nothing else to do there is nothing better than just going through video after video from TED. The one below is from James Cameron.
