What Amy Is...

Reading: Tess D'Ubervilles, Penguin Classic edition.
I'm a sucker for a pretty book, and the rereleased Penguin series are a serious level two contender in my collection of pretty books. (Level one is the leather bound gilded editions, Level two is pretty covers, Level 3 is unusual normal editions, like my autographed Terry Prachett books.) I'm finding James slow going, but the premise is interesting.

Watching: The Olympic Games
I've always enjoyed the figure skating, but this year, I'm drawn to sports that I've never watched before. I loved watching the moguls, and I have a hunch that snowboarding will be fun too.

Hearing: The Glee Soundtrack, Volume 1
Beej got me the soundtrack as part of my Valentine's Day gift, and it's been enough to knock me back into listening to music after my recent podcast kick.

Smelling: Macaroni and Cheese
There's someone in my vicinity of the office who eats lunch at 10:30-10:45. It's usually just enough of a smell to make the last hour before lunch crawl.

Loving: Real Simple Magazine
The only magazine that I've ever really loved just gave me a recipe for chicken parmesan AND had an entire spread on trench coats.

Hating: Best Buy's coupon.
We have a ten percent off coupon from Best Buy, and as we are planning to purchase a new tv in a matter of days, we'd been seriously considering using their store. Of course, the fine print excludes tvs in our price range and just about anything else that we'd want (video games/accessories, the tv stand...). The coupon is a tease.
