Things that make me happy:

1. My dad is away in Dallas for about a week. I get to park in the driveway, and not put up with any bullshit.

2. I have a preliminary list of places to investigate for grad school. They are, mostly in the order in which I remembered to write them down:

-Cornell
-Loyola Uninversity, Chicago
-SUNY Stonybrook
-Boston College
-Duquesne
-SUNY Binghamton
-Yale
-Oxford
-U. Toronto
-Fordham
-Notre Dame
-UCLA
-UC Boulder

I imagine some will be dropped pretty quick, like UCLA; I don't have much desire to live in Southern California.

Things that don't:

1. Burger King. They need to fire their ad people. Because the "I am man" thing is shit. Pure, angry-making shit. And the creepy king makes the baby Jesus cry.

2. I seem to have lost a bookmark. It's probably in a book, but which book? I've flipped through all the likely ones, but alas, no bookmark. And it was a really cool one, too.
