I don’t know what I’d do without music. I really don’t.
Pure fluff, none of the fake stuff.
I can’t think of anything nice to say, because it is STILL winter and I’m in the heart of midterms. So, here is a picture of my cat.
Cat in a box!
No more hair! :)
I no longer have pneumonia. It makes me feel like this!
We also got tickets (upper-level, but still) to Kentucky v. Auburn and Kentucky v. Vanderbilt!
Excitement overload!
So, this week was… meh. I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia and the heart murmur is still murmuring away, and as per doctor’s orders, I had to nix the fitness training program that I had been looking forward to.
Why have I been so awfully sick? Well, we suspect hidden mold in our apartment. So, we bought a swanky air purifier (holy crap! I woke up feeling so refreshed this morning thanks to clean air!) and today we are bleaching every inch of the bathroom and kitchen. We just have to stay here five more months and then it’s off to the next great adventure!
Also, we found fleas on one of the cats. So, we had to interrupt the mid-week rush to give them flea baths.
But what excellent things happened this week?
- The dude and I celebrated one year of pretty much perfect happiness!
- Last night while making a post-break-up inspirational mix for a friend, I stumbled a crossed The Lumineers. I’m sure I’m late on this, but holy crap… they are amazing.
- My fine folks bailed me out of a jam, because they are awesome.
- My brother and his girlfriend set a date. I’m really happy for them, but I’m also really looking forward to the reception!
Okay… back to cleaning!
So, now that I’m finally finishing up my undergrad degree, I’ve got a little more time.
What spurred my interest in updating? Well, the other day someone actually tried to argue in a class on civil liberties that we didn’t need affirmative action anymore, because we’re no longer controlled by white, anglo-saxon protestants (WASPs).
My hand frantically shot-up. But alas, I guess the professor knew I would not have something nice to say.
But seriously, had this fellow never taken a cursory glance at Congress? Because that’s exactly the group we’re controlled by! In fact, the WASPs have created such a wonderful institutionalized system of discrimination and racism that even though they are increasingly becoming a minority in the U.S., they still hold a majority of the positions of power and money.
For the most part, this is what goes through my head when I’m on my bike. A few were just added for humor. Song #1, is what’s stuck in my head a good 90% of the time.
