let's get down2business.
last night, i changed my alarm clock ringtone to ‘the entertainer.’ it was, needless to say, a very lively wake-up call. other ringtones i might try out as alarms: down2business, eurotrance and maybe coolrunnins.

day two. day two.
it’s day two of sinead o’connor’s ‘nothing compares 2 u.’ the song just doesn’t get old. in my head, last night preparing to give this speech, the only thing i could think was one of the lyrics: ‘i can eat dinner in a fancy restaurant.’

“really, we would love to see you with just that tie clip”
– a very inappropriate pass

exhausted
today, when i woke, i thought to myself: ‘well graham, you are exhausted.’ and i was. i was totally exhausted. not exhausted like when people are like ‘oh my, i am so busy’ or like the other day when someone came to my desk and asked for my help and i said ‘oh my, i am so busy.’ in my head i finished the sentence: ‘oh my, i am so busy… uploading new...

true color
this morning, i listened to ‘true colors’ by cyndi lauper. staring into the mirror, i saw my dramatic tan lines… oh, the bronzed skin of summer next to white, white skin. the song has never resonated as strongly as it did at that very moment.
