notre dame?
not your game day, was it? I was stressed out yesterday, driving around doing errands, that i was missing the michigan/notre dame game. i finally got home and turned it on just as the second half was starting, then i sat down on the floor and laughed. as a very good fair weather fan, i need to break out that michigan flag and hang it from my balcony.
i've been up since 6:30, working and listening to itunes. it's funny, but a lot of these songs i listened to repeatedly (and compulsively) in college, and honestly never in a MILLION FUCKING YEARS would me at 19 have believe you if you'd told her that in 9 years she'd be listening to these songs while doing this shit. sorry, me at 19, i failed you (but i have a lot of nice stuff!)

long time
no talk.
I am unbelievably sad that Steve Irwin died. I feel a little sick about it. I don't know why, other than this vague idea that it's like the death of my prolonged adolesence (long story; it involves being in college and crocodile hunter t-shirts). RIP Steve.
I'm up revising a letter that will never actually be signed at 6 am tomorrow, but we're all supposed to pretend it will and not sleeping is part of the pretending. If only we got to dress up, too! And have cookies.
I yelled at someone on the phone today, and damn did it feel good. It had the fortunate side effect of impressing a partner who stopped by to talk to me (assuming yelling is still impressive. it might not be PC to yell anymore).
And now the dog downstairs is barking, and even though I'm not trying to fall asleep, I want to slap it. I'm also vaguely concerned that since I never hear him bark, this must mean there is an intruder in the building, but I'm too lazy to check. Plus I'm not wearing a bra, and I can't risk going braless into the hall.
Do you think when Thomas Alva Edison invented the light bulb he could have imagined it would have caused and allowed me, 100 some odd years later, to be sitting up at this hour trying to decide whether I should use "greater" or "exceeds" to decide what happens if the currency exchange to Euros leads to an overpayment? Hmm, Mr. Edison? Now there's a decision that's not electric.
I went to New York for the first time since I moved back to Chicago a year and a half ago. It was fine. It was odd. I was there for a little over a day. I miss some things about it, I don't miss others. But I do miss how it feels like you are in the center of the universe and like you are nothing, all at once.
