Read, Watch, Listen

Looking for something to do this holiday Monday? Try the following:

  1. Do you have about two hours? I suggest you read Calvin Trillin’s lovely book, About Alice. Originally a piece for the New Yorker (in a shorter form), it speaks of Trillin’s love and adoration for his wife, Alice. Loved it.
  2. Only have 92 minutes? Watch Saved! Released in 2004, featured on Oxygen over the weekend (where I watched it again), this is definitely worth a spot in your Netflix queue. It’s a teenage movie fit for grownups.
  3. Really crunched for time? Then a song from Saved!, “Flowers in the Window” by Travis, is what I recommend. Only three minutes and 41 seconds of your time, not including the download time from iTunes.

Happy Monday! Oh, and if you find yourself with oodles of spare time tonight, may I suggest the voyeuristic delight knowon as the Golden Globes ….
