Friday - Things That Amuse Me
Jimmy Tingle's Graduate address at Harvard's Commencement yesterday. After standing for two hours in three inch heels to process in, battling the seating volunteers snapping at us (while simultaneously standing directly in the way) and sitting in uncomfortable seats for a while listening to speeches with the distinction of being dull in English AND Latin, his marvelous address was the best part of the morning exercises. If I can find a video or transcript, I will post it later.

- walking to work in it
- having heavy, long hair in it

Spring
and here's Blossom Dearie singing about it...
(I think this is just under the wire, as it's supposed to be 90 tomorrow)

Friday - Things That Make the Heart Beat Faster
Deciding that you'll sing Nina Simone for karaoke because with your cold you only have about a 6 note range, only to remember that there is a 63 second instrumental after the first verse. Drat.
Here's some Nina to start off your Friday.

Thursday - Things That Amuse Me
My camera battery ran down, so you'll have to take my word on these:
- my hair in the morning - which ranges between country music star and gorgon
- my cat sleeping in my bottom dresser drawer

Tuesday - Things That Displease Me
- This miserable cough that has officially returned after a three week hiatus
- Barfy Cat's 4 am hair ball
- The idea of leaving my nice warm bed when I am underslept and feeling terrible.
I may reconsider that last one.

Monday - Things That Please Me
JSP has a book of pin-ups from the 50s and 60s. Within said book are actual pages from these magazines. On one of these pages was this:
Yes, dear readers - while flipping through pictures of ladies whose skirts had miraculously blown up, or were caught in the bath, or had a crab pulling off their beach towel, you could have found an add to purchase Boccaccio's Decameron.
Maybe it's been a while since I opened a Playboy, but I don't think Heff is selling fourteenth century literature in there. Though maybe I'm making assumptions...

That a friend from my graduate program has asked me to help her with her thesis formatting.
It reminds me of all the people who asked me for relationship advice after my divorce - is this a learn from my mistakes situation?

Here's the always amazing Dave White on movies that need to be musicals
And here's NPH's eleven o'clock number from last year's Tony's
