If we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.

Sorry I haven't updated, I can't really write about what I am feeling. Three people that I know have died in the 10 days. The economy is crashing. I can't breath.

Things that make me happy: Avocados, covers*, Edith Wharton, pictures of Barack Obama holding the babies, getting my absentee ballot, eating my weight in smoked salmon at a break fast (not a breakfast), the blooming jacaranda and oleander trees, my impending un-birthday

* current favorites
Electric Feel- Katy Perry (MGMT)
California- The Kooks (Mason Jennings)
I Can't Make You Love Me- Denison Witmer (Bonnie Raitt)
