Things...Today

I am having a weird day already; I got up early and managed to plow through the million things that seem to need to be done before work in the morning, but am still a bit out of it, whatever "it" is. Some random things for today:


1.) Things I'm reading today:

• Chapters from the Book of Luke
• Poems from all the National Poetry Month e-mail lists (namely Poetry Daily, Knopf, and the Academy of American Poets)
• The Undomestic Goddess - Sophie Kinsella (Given to me by Jane--my best friend since eighth grade--as a present)
  

2.) Things I can't stop singing today:

• Homecoming - Kanye West ft. Chris Martin (from Coldplay)
• Feels Good - Rahsaan Patterson (Thanks to Dr. Campbell, who reminded me what a soulful voice Rahsaan has)

3.) Things I want my parents to get to do today:

• Capital Jazz Fest Cruise
• All-inclusive trip to the Big Island
• Any kind of vacation this year

4.) Things I'm looking forward to today:

• Jon Pineda's reading/book release party this Thursday
• Finally seeing the Alvin Ailey Dance Company (While Ms. Jamison is still director...)
• Salsa Bootcamp (or some dance class) with the Road Dawgs

5.) Things I've browsed on the internet today:

• We seem to even prefer dieting in the womb, girls.
• You think you know Big Will, but you have no idea...
• The Bluecast Variations on Funk Reading sponsored by Indiana Review. Take a listen.
