8:23pm

apparently, lists are all the rage these days. so, superlist of this exact moment, right here and now:

1. i LOVE my fancy headphones - they transform listening to music from something my ears to to something my whole body experiences. and they make me remember how much i love music. and the breadth of emotion it conjures. fanfuckingtastic.

2. the book "elements of journalism" is winking at me, taunting me to read it. but that would be too easy. and then i'd be prepared for class on wednesday...and really, what fun is that? instead i'm blogging and drinking, ahem, cognac.

3. a dear friend of r is in the midst of heartbreak, life upheaval, very very very sad. she's in our living room right now, where r is trying to comfort her...but really, there is nothing to do in the middle of a breakup but to be sad and heartbroken. which is absolutely no fun at all. negative fun. i wish there was a magic pill to take, to jump right on over all that feeling horrible crap. i would take it from time to time myself. but there isn't. so, in the mean time, we have yummy dinner, a spare bed, and compassionate ears to offer.

4. we (me and r) are approaching our 5th anniversary. it blows my mind.

the end.
