Claiming the good

Some of the happy things from today. (To keep my most recent post from being depressing and to cheer me up before bed.)

• Wearing short sleeves, summer skirt, hot pink tights, and my boots with magnets in them.
• Tasting some of B's Mustard Girl mustard at lunch.
• Walking by the lake with A.
• Phone calls with both of my grandmothers (and no political discussions).
• Homemade frozen pizza with rosemary from my plant.
• Receiving my new favorite tote bag. (Yes, it's NPR. Judge or be jealous. Whichever fits you.) And water bottle too.
• Warm enough to be outside without a coat.
• Sunshine and blue sky.
• Plans to be done writing papers for finals tomorrow (though editing through Friday), go out to a play tomorrow night, and H's visit this weekend.
• Being able to use my university connections to download an article and e-mail it to a teacher friend who wanted read it.
• Oh, and this video.
  

Growing cooler, not older

In middle school I thought it would be a sign of how out of it I was when I learned about new music from NPR. I'm choosing to think NPR is that much cooler now and submit the new All Songs 24/7 stream as evidence.

(Also, ever in love with the Current. Which, let's face it, has been a major source of new music for me since it was founded my sophomore year of college. [Is that right?] )
