Desires

I don't have much to say at the moment. Life's quiet, midterms have concluded, I've had two days of guest speakers, the weather is near perfect, and I sent three more applications out. This is not to suggest that life is perfect, but it is at the very least even-keeled.

And so, in light of this, I'll offer my list of desires that would push these things closer to perfect to the Universe for consideration.

• it wouldn't be so bad to have backing singers and a surf drummer to accompany me (or someone around me) at appropriate moments throughout the day
• one week where there wasn't some sort of IT or university organizational snafu
• the books I need to choose from for next term to arrive
• more visits from friends with funny wedding stories (okay, the wedding stories thing isn't a deal breaker)
• the cost of the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins to return to their normal prices
• one more week of weather like today's
• a clear sign about whether to attend a costume party over the weekend or not (and if the sign says yes, it would be really helpful if it also pointed me to a costume)
• two days of comfort that I'm not an academic fraud for failing to publish more
• for someone to understand my fixation on "Art Star" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
  

Universe, do with these things what you will.
