2. The bed and bedroom.
3. The view from the bed of the gallery of tiny art in my staircase.
4. I saw Kat Bjelland driving a maroon Plymouth Voyager minivan on Park Avenue on my way to work. I am not sure why this is a good thing. Maybe just because it amused me a lot.
5. Shoebox only took about nine minutes to deinstall. Seriously bonked my head, though.
6. Milky Way Midnight.
7. Lucy Lippard's lecture at the U of M.
8. Stars.

5. Good podcasts.
6. Some beautiful painted-over graffiti on East Lake Street.
7. A nice chat with Karin and Heather after DBT.
8. Delicious Bongard's white cheddar cheese. Where did I buy that? I want more.
9. A new DVD of "Curb."
10. Falling asleep while watching it. I'm really trying to observe the 12-12:30 bedtime the doctor recommended, but I think I should have crashed earlier last night!
