-Becoming obsessed with Fun. Aside from having a dreamy lead singer, I love their sound. My friend Erika described them as Queen meets a Broadway Musical, which is accurate, but I'd also add in some Muse kind of sounds too. Also, as you know, I love Janelle Monae too!
I like that a top comment is about how white Janelle Monae's teeth are and asks "what toothpaste does she uses."
-Dealing with all kinds of crazy shit that isn't directly happening to me; okay some of it kind of it, but not really. In the past few weeks, I've had difficult (but necessary and ultimately wonderful) conversations with my parents (perhaps something I'll blog about in greater detail later), found out one of my dear friends in my department has breast cancer, found out ANOTHER dear friend in my department is having some very serious problems in her marriage, and a student told me about something horrible that happened to him recently that I was legally obligated to tell an authority figure about. It has been rough going around me as of late, and the pessimist in me is trying to figure out when the anvil will be dropped on my head instead of those around me? I hope the optimist in me wins out.
-Making decisions about my future. I'm 100% sure now that I will be pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing in the near future. Now to figure out where I'm going and how on earth I'll be paying for it.
-Not sleeping enough. I've been waking up at 5:15 to go run, which is good, but I haven't quite actually started going to bed early to compensate. BUT- I was lying in bed recently and, while stretching, discovered that I have thigh muscles for the first time in my life. It was honest to God amazing. It was a surprise, too. I put my hand on it and said, out loud, 'Shit! That's muscle!' So... good I guess?
And what have YOU been up to? :)
