1. I love Rufus Wainwright.
2. My "grades" are due to be e-mailed to me either today or tomorrow. This is bad. It means that I will be obsessively (more than usual) checking my e-mail all day -- likely both days. If my school gives a window, they're going to push the very outer edge of it. I'll likely get an e-mail upon arriving HOME from work tomorrow. Either that, or I'll find a posting on my school bulletin board at 4:45 tomorrow saying that something went wrong with the software, and it won't be until next week. Yet, today, I start being obsessive. I started wondering if it could be done alphabetically, and so perhaps I *will* get mine today.
3. Work is still busy, but I'm down to less than a month here. Which means my brain is starting to transition, and I am less excited by things.
4. After months of a 50-70 degree winter, we were plunged into single digits for 2 or 3 days. Today, we're climbing out, and it may snow. But climbing out of the single digits means it's time to go back to the 40s, so our snow will melt as of 9 a.m. tomorrow, when we're back out of the freezing range. Frizzum Frazzum.
5. I CANNOT WAIT FOR FOOTBALL THIS WEEKEND. I officially declared myself a Patriots fan this year, being in the region and all. However, I've always been partial to the Colts, I am a fan of Peyton Manning (which apparently, from what I read this week on Boston.com, is akin to saying, "oh, the Yankees are a really strong team!"), and I can really get behind the Saints. So I like 3/4 of the remaining teams. Perhaps it would be MORE fun if I hated the teams (like, the Raiders, or the Cowboys, or one of the Florida teams with UGLY jerseys), but I think this seems like fun.
   
6. I am getting excited about going to Europe with my Beloved. It is hard not to be disappointed that circumstances make it so that we have to go at a bad time - August. It'll be hot, expensive, and crowded. But the bar exam is when it is, and my new job starts when it starts, and the girls are with their father for very small and infrequent windows. We truly have no choice, and I believe we will have a great time.
7. Beloved told me there's a way to keep my digital holiday music without having it pop up on shuffle on my pod -- I need to figure that out TONIGHT. I love the way Aimee Mann sings God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, but honestly - it's 1/18. I'm done with the Merriment and the Gentlemen.
8. "Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me" is stuck in my head. Now everyone reading this knows what I did last night.
