Seven Random Things
Seen at Why Not Blog?
1. I can’t figure out if I am a morning person or a night person by nature. The last week, I have stayed up until 1 a.m. and slept in until about 9 a.m. and felt pretty good. But during the regular semesters, I stay up until about 10 p.m. and get up around 5:45 a.m. and feel pretty good. Maybe I’m just a “must have a bare minimum of 8 hours of sleep” person.
2. Yesterday while organizing books, I found all sorts of slips of paper and bookmarks in books that T and I haven’t opened in years. I found bookmarks from bookstores around the country (I was hoping for a bookmark from our trips to Central America and Europe, but none turned up) , but mostly bookmarks from our two excellent independent local bookstores: The Tattered Cover and the Boulder Book Store. I also found a love letter I wrote T in 2001.
3. Lily put together the coolest outfit yesterday: turquoise and fuchsia plaid shorts, a light green and turquoise tank top, a light blue floppy hat, and fuchsia cowgirl boots.
4. One of my summer projects is to revamp my computer file naming protocol. I figure it will take me at least half a day to do this. I’ve been using google desktop instead of the Windows “find” feature to locate files the last year and google desktop is about a million times faster. But google desktop (or the Windows “find” feature, for that matter) only work if you know what you’re looking for to some degree. If I just want to peruse assignments I’ve given a class in the past, I want all those assignment files together. Thus, all assignment file titles will now begin with the word assignment.
5. I’ve been disappointed in the flavor and texture of the strawberries I’ve had in the last couple of years. I’ve had conventional and organic strawberries and always they were harder and less succulent than the strawberries I remember from a couple years ago. A few days ago, I bought strawberries and damn, these things are good. This is what strawberries used to taste like! I love strawberries again.
6. Lily starts theatre camp on Monday. The camp lasts for three weeks (four hours a day) and includes kids aged 5-8. On the last day of camp, the kids perform a musical rendition of 101 Dalmatians.
7. Paul Wolfowitz blames the media for his downfall. That’s a good one.
