This blog will be boring only for the next two and a half weeks. Then my semester is over.

In the meantime, a great girlyman article.

Normally I don't use my Ipod shuffle function because my audio files are just too diverse. It normally ends up being a broadway show tune, then David Sedaris reading a chapter, then a 30 second introduction to a song from a live folk show, then a clip from a really bad appellate hearing, followed up by a gospel tune (I sometimes like listening to songs from my childhood-- so catchy).

But yesterday the old shuffle played "By Way of Sorrow" by Cry Cry Cry then "After All" by Dar Williams-- perfect.

boring

sorry for the lack of posts-- been incredibly busy. i've been surprisingly mellow about the elections-- happy about the first female speaker of the house, excited about the impending influx of new democratic staffers, etc, but mostly just taking it in and focusing on otherwise distracting life stuff.

i apparently slept with a clenched fist-- i woke up with my right pinkie swollen and painful-- hmm.
