List 81

Love:  The Cindy Sherman exhibit that just opened at SFMOMA. She has created such an amazing and wide-ranging body of work,spanning three decades. Rarely have I gone through an exhibit and fantasized about stealing so many pieces.

Like: My new everyday breakfast: 1 packed cup of kale,  1 packed cup of spinach, 1 cup of light vanilla soy milk, 1 frozen banana, 1/2 a granny smith apple and  tsp honey.  The fruit masks the greens, but it's not overly sweet.  It keeps you full until lunch. And by 8 am you've already knocked off 4 servings of fruit and vegetables.

Discovery: What I've been missing in my recent detour into dystopian YA novels: good writing, well-developed characters, thoughtful story telling.  This lesson was driven home by my welcome return to critically-acclaimed adult fiction via The Art of Fielding, which reads like an instantly classic American novel.

Obsession: Buns, for some reason.

Complaint: Newsroom haters.  It may be more like a top-flight Big Three Network show than an HBO (or AMC) series - especially this past week's episode, what with all the hanky panky - but Aaron Sorkin does that thing he does, and it's working for me.
