I'm using a very old thermos that works fantastically, keeping my water cold. It belonged to my grandmother, who passed away, so it makes me happy thinking of how pleased she'd be that I'm using it. I determined it was one of my great small joys in the world, so I named it Joy.

I also got a Moleskine journal thing that has maps in it, which I love, I named it Vincent, because Vincent Van Gogh used Moleskine journals too.

I got another book by my favorite author, Augusten Burroughs, it's his first one Sellevision.

:]
