Today was a day for materialism. Got a haircut. Went to Barnes and Noble and bought a book (Italo Calvino), a magazine (the New Yorker) and a CD (Shins- Chutes Too Narrow). Found some appropriate pants for working in the office at the GAP (two pairs for $36!) and learned that they don't make shorts for the height-challenged. Then I went to my ( Read more... )

Murmur (their first album) is just about perfect, and Life's Rich Pageant is pretty damn good (although not as good as Murmur). But I seem to have lost my copy of Fables of the Reconstruction, which ( Read more... )

Catty Corner (referring to something diagonal from you) is the most delicious colloquialism/Midwesternism I've ever heard. Also chocolate and American Football and the possibility of maybe going on a date this week make me happy. A little fun is what I need, this entire semester has been spent studying and running. Can't wait for this weekend, ( Read more... )
