I was all set to post a list of Things That Are Bugging Me Right now, but then I decided, psh, forget that. Instead here's a list of Things That Are Making Me Happy Right Now.
-Radiolab. Guys, I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO IT. Jad/Robert are the BFFs of all BFFs. I love that they're always disagreeing with each other. I love that they're always disagreeing with the experts they interview. I love that at least half of the time they don't come to any steadfast conclusions about whatever topic they're looking at. I love that half of the people that read the credits mispronounce Jad's last name, despite the fact that they've already met him. I even love the music and effects that used to bug the heck out of me. I still love you, This American Life! I love all of the episodes, but I just listened to the one about
War of the Worlds, and it totally blew my mind.
-I figured out how to get my hair out of my eyes using only two hair clips instead of 1-2 hair ties and 900 hairpins. There was much rejoicing.
-I keep getting e-mails from the Lit department saying that the deadline to apply for the Creative Writing major is approaching, and I'm just like, "I GOT INTO THE MAJOR TWO YEARS AGO ON MY FIRST TRY, WHAT."
-My mom thinks the way B2 brushes his hair makes him look like Justin Bieber. I don't know how she knows what Justin Bieber looks like. I barely know what he looks like. But hahaha. Ha.
-The Decemberists. The end.
-Going to the gym! I love waking up early and getting in my 35 minutes on the cross-trainer and then doing my push-ups and sit-ups and leg-lifts and the day hasn't even started yet and I can do ANYTHING. Plus going to the gym means I get to listen to more Radiolab. And podfic.
-So I made these things called "moon rocks" the other day, and they're basically chocolate donuts masquerading as chocolate cupcakes. And they're really good. Really, really good.
-Wow, I just almost fell out of my chair. And that's my cue to exit!
