many ask what i've been up to, because all i seem to be doing is work these days. i ponder and arrive at the conclusion that i really haven't been up to much at all. i don't go out as much, i don't travel, friends are all busy with their lives, and i simply have the strongest desire to be quiet. instead of letting it out, i'm starting to take it all in.

so i read.

current reading list:

1) The Travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy: An Economist Examines the Markets, Power, and Politics of World Trade--Pietra Rivoli.

2) The Plot Against America--Philip Roth
3) Newsweek (May 14, 2007) Travel 2007 Snow is Beautiful: Why Moving Less and Seeing More Is the Mantra for Today's Traveler
4) Elle Deco Italia: Edizione Speiciale Milano Design Week

am also continuing with the endless and eternal task of cleaning my room and throwing things out.
