Even after deleting 100's of angsty teenage posts, and dooming many moodier ones to the "saved drafts" folder, I hit 888 posts yesterday, on 11/1/11. :)

 I slept 11 hours last night to ward off a flu that might still be imminent (all my coworkers have been getting sick) and this morning watched TV and went to the gym, and now I'm making some of my reserve stash of Iowa coffee to sit and eat Reese's PB cups with.   The smell of Friedrich's coffee brings me straight back to Des Moines, and I can close my eyes and believe I'm in Judy's living room and we're watching E! News or Gilmore Girls, or some other worthless TV show. Sounds ridiculous, but it hurts so much to live in Utah, sometimes.

ALTHOUGH. God did make a pretty awesome, angry sunset last night. And I thought, only here can you get this. It wasn't colorful or anything, but the way the dark clouds and mist and snow had sprinkled the valley and mountains all day and cleaned the air....it was breathtaking.

I finally gave DCFC's new album another listen and was wondering how Ben and Zooey were still doing. I thought, how could that marriage work when they are both touring all the time, and she's making a TV show now, and he's so cerebral, and she seems material.
Well I guess they just broke up, so that's weird that I was thinking about it.

Now, if only Jenny would break up with Johnny so that the right musical pair could finally happen. Ben and Jenny would be perfect together. Just sayin'.
