A Post of Absolutely No Consequence

I'm itching to write something today, but nothing brilliant is coming to mind. So instead you will get a list of "Haphazard and Odd Thoughts Which Have Recently Flittered Through My Brain."

So. Let the arbitrariness begin!

• It is difficult to get used to a 60 watt light bulb after basking in the glory of a 100 watt light bulb.
• But it makes the adjustment from night to morning a little less startling.
• My front walk is slippery.
• Even though I am a recent and whole-heartedly devoted fan of Emily Kimbrough, I don't think I'll finish the most recent book of hers I picked up (We Followed Our Hearts to Hollywood). It just isn't captivating me like her others have.
• And there is nothing wrong with not finishing a book.
• But what to read next?
• Because I'm still on the waiting list for our next book club book (Freakonomics).
• The Office is on tonight. And it's not a rerun. This makes me happy.
• I'm well on my way to drinking my daily water quota. Go me!
  
• There are 92 counties in Indiana. Is it just me, or does this seems like a lot?
  
• I made the bed this morning, like I do every morning. Only this morning I was very tempted to just forget about it.
• I secretly like quite a few Alanis Morissette songs. I'm openly crazy about Natalie Merchant's music.
• When I was in junior high and high school, I was one of those nerds who knew nothing about contemporary music, so when people asked me what genre I liked, I faked it and told them Alternative. Only it took me a few years to realize that Alternative is actually the kind of music I typically don't like.
  
• I've learned today that when people are given the opportunity to complain, they usually take it and run all the way up Mt. Everest with it.
• Ball State's botany pond is frozen over, in case you were wondering.
• I am the founder and coordinator of an online poetry club. February's theme is "poems by a poet laureate."
• The plural of poet laureate is poets laureate.
  
• Handwritten correspondence is a dying art form, and that makes me sad. Maybe I'll pick up the practice again.
• Which reminds me...I need to buy postage stamps this weekend.
• You'd be surprised at how many well-educated adults think a lot is one word.
• This picture is hanging on my office wall. Can you guess which one is my PhotoShop-loving brother?

• Would somebody please stop me before this erratic list gets too out of hand and ----------

(Thanks.)
