Notes To Self

-incorporate the phrase “my little shrugging Atlases” (tm Stephen Colbert) into everyday speech, somewhere

-find a way to quote Atlas Shrugged in my thesis, just for the hell of it

-the chronic ear infections I’ve gotten since sophomore year of college are likely being caused by my wisdom teeth, which came in at around the same time. I currently have no dental insurance, so this will have to wait

-I have really, really realistic, but completely boring dreams. Like I used to dream my way through a full shift at B&N cafe and wake up feeling as if I’d been at work for a full 8 hours. Now I dream my way through LRS, among other things.

-I need to stop putting off buying a humidifier. My apartment is killing me.

-I’ve had the Dixie Chicks song “Not Ready to Make Nice” in my head for like a week now.

-Do I want to take a class on Terrorism OR Strategy next quarter? Or, do I REALLY want to say screw political theory and take both? Either way, I will have no Thursday or Friday classes. This will be either very good or very bad for my productivity.

-Yesterday, I had to walk to what is the last building on 53rd street before Lake Shore Drive. It was very, very, very windy and near impossible to walk. It was rather insane.

-Saratoga is, I think, getting hit by a lot of snow right now, worse than Chicago for sure. But there they actually know how to clean up snow, whereas Hyde Park is just a mess.

-Chocolate Macademian Nut coffee, while an outrage to coffee, is rather delicious

-I’ve been craving a bagel for weeks now. Today I finally gave in and got one. They are shaped bread here, nothing more. I am such a New York metro area snob about food.
