A List of 5

1. I started out the fall with an addiction to national politics and the election, and have ended up with an addiction to Rachel Maddow and the Colbert Report. This means that I now feel like I need to stream at least two TV shows a day, which is at least one more than strictly necessary.

2. I am in the midst of grad school applications. It makes me wish that I had more time to read and write, instead of write about reading and writing.

3. For those who are keeping romantic tabs, I'm in a relationship again. SB is wonderful and ornery. In fact, given only two adjectives for him, those might be ones I would choose.

4. My roommates and I have yet to turn on the heat for the winter, our incentive is that we can turn on the heat as soon as we finish shrinkwrapping our windows. The upshot is that my room is not drafty, but the heat isn't on.

5. I have a cold. I'm drinking tea. Lots of tea. Breathe Deep tea that is supposed to, well, help me breathe.


P.S. I found my template.
P.P.S. Still trying to figure out what this space is for me. I'll get back to you.

Economics ...

Love this post. Totally lovely and hilarious and true.

P.S. I can't find my template, where did it go? I wants to edit it. Where is it? Help. Blogger? Anyone? Help?

Infrastructure Projects Take Forever. It's Just Their Way

Dear Interwebs,
I don't know how I feel about you either, but I'm in another moment of crossing wide deep waters in my life, and wonder whether this bridge has been repaired. I'm taking over from my alter-ego Corinne, now I will be blogging as my ego (let's be honest). I'm making no commitments; I'd like us to have a casual relationship. I fully intend to have a relationship with other media while spending time with you. Cool? Readers, you say? Yeah, I don't know if any of the old folks will show up again, or if new folks will stumble upon this, and I don't know what my 'subject matter' will be. I'm a little high maintenance that way, or, perhaps, refreshing. Let's say I'm refreshing.
Love,
Andra
