the two songs that got me through the last 15 minutes of my 2.5 miles outside, in the 97 degree heat index?

mmmbop by hansen and all these things that i have done by the killers.

i cannot think of two more different songs, but they still penetrated the ipod noise (you know what i mean...you hear the song, and it helps you move, but it doesn't get you going) and made me feel less like i wanted to die.

in other news, the dissertation made it through first submission, which means I.AM.GOLDEN.

in other other news, lady audley's secret is surprisingly good so far. i am one hundred pages into the four hundred page sensation novel. i said i would not read classics, but i ran out of books and it was on the shelf. and i am pleasantly surprised so far.

laundry day today.  i will read and feel ZERO guilt.  happy friday, all!
