Last weekend was full of edgy cultural events, early rising, and a little cooking. This weekend has so far been all about a latke-laden Hanukkah feast with friends, sleeping late, and trying my hand at Christmas shopping. The shopping was my least successful venture. I’m feeling out of it and not particularly inspired, so I gave up on that fairly quickly. Maybe again tomorrow?

UPDATE 12/09/07: Success. Gifts are all bought, and all at independently owned shops in my neighborhood. Hurray for Brooklyn!
