december gloom

i’m glad the month is coming to an end. december somehow lost its aura of enchantment and magic. maybe it’s the looking forward towards the end of january, maybe it’s the looking forward to shanghai, a bit of all i guess. it seems that life is so focused on the future that right now, no events are particularly meaningful, we’re just killing time.

still, a couple of things that caught my attention, these last few days:

* scarlett johansson sings summertime. i love this song, and its successive versions and covers, and plus she’s not at all bad at it.
* the holiday party excuse generator: a cute snowman guides you through the process of chosing what type of excuse you’d like (they have it for all tastes and kinds of party) to avoid that special event you’re so (not) looking forward to.
* i tryied yorkshire pudding for the first time yesterday. apparently, it’s a british classic, but i had never heard of it before. and i must learn how to do it, that was delicious.
