I really like to begin my day with a pot of espresso in mattress.
The espresso maker, it’s like a fundamental bitch, a Cuisinart espresso maker. We get this model referred to as Punk Bunny. That’s our favourite type of espresso. We did not too long ago attempt the darkish roast, however we each have determined it’s an excessive amount of for us. We’re going again right down to the medium darkish roast. And I simply put soy milk in it.
At any time when I’m touring for work and staying in these Airbnbs and flats and stuff, there’ll be a cappuccino maker, and we’ll all the time be like, ought to we get a kind of? after which we by no means find yourself doing it.

If we’re pondering of constructing an enormous salad or one thing, we’ll get salad stuff. However once more, we’re not these individuals, although we actually need to be these individuals.
Midday: Cease at Chevalier’s Books
Then I might stroll right down to Chevalier’s, our little native bookstore, and say hello to everybody who works there and wander round a bit. I’ve so many books and it’s an issue, however then there’s normally one thing there that simply got here out that I’m actually enthusiastic about, and so I’ll get it. I’ve currently been shopping for hardcovers as a result of it’s type of enjoyable to have a primary version of one thing that might probably win the Nobel Prize or Pulitzer.
My husband was like, “The thing about you is you buy a lot of books, but you do read them.” So I’m not simply randomly shopping for books. I’m studying a ebook by Barbara Kingsolver proper now referred to as “Unsheltered.” That one I believe I in all probability swiped out of somewhat library on a canine stroll as a result of it’s undoubtedly not model new. I simply completed “Martyr!” [by Kaveh Akbar] and I used to be so blown away that I nearly didn’t even need to learn one other ebook for some time.

Oh, I’ll present you one thing dorky. Maintain on. [Greer disappears and returns with a large Ziploc bag.] I normally sneak it in my tote bag.

I really like that large theater. It’s simply so stunning. There are such nice film theaters in L.A., such outdated theaters, and that one is so historic. I’ve been to a bunch of film premieres there too. However in all probability I want it once I’m similar to a citizen watching a film.
