I went out shopping this afternoon and purchased, among other things:

— the new Ani
— the new Sleater Kinney
— the most recent Mountain Goats

I also bought jeans that fit in what I think is my new size — two sizes down from the old one. Gulp.

I shall be well dressed, happily listening and school working later tonight.

Just got the mail.

There is an ad in Utne Reader this month for a school that is offering an online course in animal massage.

My friends, the floor is yours. You may begin at any time.
