A half year of bad hair days

Bah. I miss my old haircut. And my life in Budapest. And my fabulous friends there.

Just blog-surfed my way to Ingrid Michaelson. Like the sound. I really do love most of the music on Grey's Anatomy, so that caught my attention, when I noticed that her songs been featured there. (It's hilarious, too, how many people seem to be devoted to documenting who's being played there It's proven handy to me, though, because it's ultimately what got me hooked on fabulous, fabulous Regina Spektor.) Ingrid Michaelson has a really freaky clown video though. Clown romance. Eep.



My head-fog is very slow in clearing the past couple days. My students yesterday raked me over the coals with questions about their papers, and I still felt rather bewildered at 3:00.

Interesting and appropriate, my tarot card of the day according to Facebook:

(The Fool desires to achieve great things in life, but does not always anticipate the hard work required. Full of curiosity and searching for answers, the Fool symbolizes a new beginning and endless optimism. He must be careful in the decisions he makes, as his lack of experience is often a hindrance. While others may avoid taking on insurmountable odds, The Fool will attempt to accomplish near impossible goals with almost reckless abandon.)

Windy!

Super windy, very cold day on the lake today. The trees look barer day by day. I was struck with the sense of barrenness of the landscape as I drove down the highway yesterday, navigating the wind blowing my little pickup around the road.

I'm hiding out this morning to take care of personal business and writing, since it's the week of AAAs and we're just showing a film in Anthropology 101. So, back to that paper on my colleague in Social Work for Qual Methods. :)

I'm cranking up the heat and putting on some coffee. And thinking it's about time to explore the possibility of weatherproofing my windows. Brr!
