Tennis shoes over tights and a copy of the Express
This morning I got up, got dressed, looked in the mirror and decided my shoes didn’t look right with my outfit, changed my shoes, liked them, then took them off and put them in my backpack. On the way out the door, I grabbed my tennis shoes and laced them on over my tights ( Read more... ) -
Government actually being effective!
As I usually find NPR to be the most pleasant morning listening station, and I have a bad habit of driving to work more often than I have to (Metro, I love you, I swear! But my car is just so cheap and easy!), I stay fairly up-to-date on the kind of news that NPR reports between 8:30 and 9:00am, EST. A few months ago they reported on some credit ( Read more... ) -
SNOW!!!

Seriously HATE this whole week
On top of everything else that has sucked about this week, I just realized that I left my cell phone at work. In Virginia. Where I will have to drive to go get it.

Sick
I am Sick. The kind of sick where I take four hour naps in the middle of the day.* The kind of sick where spending three days (and counting) in my bedroom isn't make me stir crazy.** The kind of sick where taking my book outside to the porch to read for an hour is pleasant but exhausting. More specifically, it is the kind of sick where I have had a ( Read more... ) -
The National Equality March
Sunday morning I woke up in a bit of a funk, as sometimes happens when one is stressed out and tired and in the early stages of a nasty cold caught from one's girlfriend. As I was brooding over an uninspiring bowl of oatmeal, roommate Kate suggested, "You know what would make you feel better? Thousands of gay people with rainbows ( Read more... )
