There are lots more out there, but these are my two favourites at the moment. I think you have to take from them what you think might work for you - they all seem to have a few suggestions for which I think 'nope' (and others might be fine with), but most of what they suggest I really like.

(I'm sure there is a better/cooler/or something url reducing service now, but I don't know what it is).

sticks, twigs, bark and pinecones

doro wat & kitfo are ultra classic

THink they should look good but am feeling daunted by not having my skill levels to quite that height yet.

Hoping to make initial dummy of first shirt I make this weekend which I had meant to get through last weekend but din't. BUt very into getting it done

That sounds awesome. Stevolende!

Hey ENBB, re the books I mentioned upthread, I retract the love for this one. The first half is good. The second half contains batshit.

Gardening, esp procuring really cool and unusual ferns for my fern and hosta bed
Fountain pens
Hanging with mom and dad

oh and Dole Dippers <<<<<< srsly you should seek these out because they are awesome

i did not know you have chickens, but that is fantastic

also i would like a good smoothie, but i probably wouldn't be able to eat it if it had too much sugar in it

sadly, my chickens are rented from rentacoop.com and they go back next week *cries but signs up for another rental period next Spring*

i'm not into anything now

well beans

i guess beans

which i own outright

except for my general indebtedness obv.

but i'd like to see those assholes try to get these beans out of me now

seltzer
particularly LaCroix grapefruit seltzer
learning HTML/CSS/web dev stuff
Microsoft SharePoint
Stiegl Radler (delicious sparkling grapefruit soda + beer shandy!)
Quilted Northern Ultra Plush
local punk bands & going to see them in houses
homemade coconut chili lime granola

right now i'd say i'm into running and kerrygold butter.

oh and kerrygold butter, me too, unsalted (bcz that is cultured whereas the salted is not)

Stevie I need to hear more about this granola.

Like, it makes me sad that anyone would be "in to" SharePoint, but obv the rest of the stuff makes up for that. Especially the granola. And butter.

Psychedelic frock coats cut from patterns based on 19th century garments.
Screaming Jay Hawkins
African Waxed cotton.
upcycling curtains & the fact that the last curtain I bought had round mock crenellations along the top of it. Fleur de lys pattern so I assume it was either somebody making a mock castle decoration for a child's room or some other home made interior design thing.
Kolchak the night stalker.
Free jazz
Psychedelia
redoing work on garments i made a few months ago now that my skill level has improved somewhat. Finally doing the seam finishes on my original floral western frock coat.

Julian cope's Copendium even if I did read a lot of it as his monthly review on Head Heritage
anticipating the new David Stubbs krautrock book

never knew what fresh eggs were like until i had some from the chickens at my ex's new place (an intentional community sorta)

fresh eggs are the best!!

One of the hens (Eugenie) lays these really elongated, pointy-tipped eggs--they are so weird but cool! Also tasty.

i love fresh eggs, my sister-in-law has a small family farm and her chickens' eggs are incredible

she has duck eggs too. they are fattier and more luscious than chickens eggs

i am into right now:

summer
eating dinner on our back porch with my 2-year-old son, we just started eating together as a family rather than eating after he goes to bed
rediscovering these two danny tenaglia mix cds i was really into when i was 18
"big neck police" / "dreadlocks in moonlight" / "bird in hand" by scratch perry/upsetters

i think i have to add "tessio" as well

my supermarket switched to a house brand for their cheap eggs and they're the shittiest damn eggs i've used in forever, the eggshells are like eggshells : /

I've never noticed any difference in egg taste or quality \o_O/

hold that innocence close, my carefree friend

fresh produce
stone fruits
eating outdoors
hiking (of course)
camping (of course)

Wondering what 'fearless style' means since my dickensian floral frockcoat was described that way.
Boojum burritos
since Indian takeaway not there today nor any foodstalls on the market.
Colourfast striped drill, not not colourfast but unfortunately seem to have latter.
The Punk45 protopunk set on Souljazz
Vimto squash, love the taste. Sarsaparila might be healthier though, less commercialised.

xxpost duck eggs are great for baking! i used to make a duck egg spongecake that was so fluffy it felt like it would float away
