If I Could Have A Picnic With Any 3 People...

Stephen Colbert

lulz...

Eyes and Ears...

I started watching

One Mississippi

on Amazon and I looooove it! Disclaimer:  I'm a ride or die for

Tig Notaro

. I also started watching

RuPaul's Drag Race

because it's on Hulu. I can't believe I've lived so long without this show. I've been finding ways to work "Condragulations" into conversations all week. I found a new podcast,

Politically Re-Active

, with W. Kamau Bell and Hari Kondabolu. It's real good. Add it to your list. I went and saw/heard

Colson Whitehead

speak at Parnassus Books this week about his new book,

Underground Railroad

. Man, aside from Ann Patchett, this may be the most I've fangirled over an author.

Thrifting...

I noted in my

fall thrifting post

that I was on the look-out for a "fancy sweatshirt". Nailed it.

I Endorse...
