because I rather like lists

Yesterday, my first-ever grad school presentation almost didn't happen when I slept through one alarm and the one plain didn't go off. Fortunately, there were plenty of things to cheer me up today. First of all, the folks in my program are awesome. Then I came home and took great joy in my Reader.

Oh, doors! 25 new posts from Portes et Fenetres!

Pretty, pretty things at the Shiny Squirrel (and how did I not know it existed before today?)

How did that fellow get in there? (ongoing, please!)

I listened to this wonderful, wonderful playlist put together by the folks at Modcloth while I was making dinner and it made me smile and smile (because who can listen to ELO with a frown?)
