i could be brown, i could be blue....

Mood is a funny thing, it can be affected by so many factors. Today I was in a good mood for quite a few reasons. First, the weather. SERIOUSLY Michigan, you are out of your goddamned gourd with all this temperature changing, but I like a week where I can snowboard and a few days later wear a light jacket to class... so no complaints. The new Shins cd is bringing untold amounts of joy into life, as is 3hive.com. Seriously. Music is love.

I had a conversation today with the girl I drive to Honors x Two every week, in which we both discovered we love catchy songs. Groundbreaking, I know, who the hell likes catchy songs?! However, it was the SAME TYPE. I love making mix cds (and by love, I mean seriously, really obsessed), and she's totally getting a good one. Nothing made me happier than the day she told me she looks forward to our car rides because I'm always playing awesome music. I think being told you have good taste is pretty much universally a fantastic compliment.

Honors x Two is actually going really well. I though I would be a terrible mentor, and not have enough to say to the kid about whatever we're working on, or she would think my project ideas were lame, but we are making great progress. She's writing a story about Hawaii, and her use of visual imagery and varied sentence structure is phenomenal at this point. Kids are great.

I got a new orange jacket, and as I wore it today with my zebra shoes and white sunglasses, I realized I looked like a reject extra from a bad Japanese motorcycle movie. Liiife. I think I might just have to stick to my usual wardrobe of black. And more black.

For my Dark Side class I'm doing an analysis of dark side topics as portrayed in the O.C. This solidifies the widely-held belief that I am in fact, not a real student at MSU, and just make my own curriculum based on my everchanging whims. See: the trout dance.

As usual, I have digressed.

Final advice: Listen to 'Australia' by the Shins. La fin.

Addendum: I believe I could eat Lucky Charms with Rice Dream for every meal and be completely happy. <3
