Advance the clocks.

1. I am emotionally involved with Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Have you seen this??? It's sexy and incredible. It makes me want to wear lingerie all day long. Come to think of it, I should have done that today. Instead I wore oversized Colorado sweatpants and a camoflage Lucero t-shirt. Almost as sexy. Almost.

2. In celebration of Saving the Daylight, I bought a pretty flowery dress with buttons and a coral colored ribbon that ties into a bow (a major deviation from my typical achromatic attire). It makes me feel a little Pollyanna-ish, but I like it. Life is pretty great right now, so why not? It's kinda nice to reflect some light from time to time. (Did I really just write that??? Who am I...?) Actually, I should have known this life up-swing was coming. A couple weeks ago, I was walking in Philly and I desperately had to pee so I ran into a Borders and saw this in the bathroom stall:



At that precise moment, I happened to be walking back to my friend's place after finishing my final grad school interview. I was a little weighed down by some major/stressful life decisions, so it was comforting to see this little graffiti omen. Btw, I'm really glad my New Year's resolution was to start listening to the universe, it really seems to be paying off.

3. I've been telling anyone and everyone that I'm getting my Ph.D. See, I'm doing it again. Seriously though, I find ways to inject it into conversation as early as possible. I've even taken to saying it in an overly-modest-non-bragging-because-I'm-such-an-outstanding-human-being type of tone ("What do I do? Oh, you know, nothing much, I just got into grad school and I'm going to get my Ph.D...that sort of thing."). It's incredibly obnoxious and it needs to stop immediately. :)
