Why hello, HEAVEN.

Deep Fried Cupcake With Chocolate Syrup And Sprinkles

Ahh, sighs of relief.

Ahh, I finally feel like I can take a deep, stress-free breath of air. The bulk of my work — forgotten midterm on tuesday, presentation, paper, take home midterm, problemset, graduate school applications — is finished. I feel like I’ve been all wound up in a ball of stress for the past several days, and tonight I let myself take a deep breath, and relax. Spring Break! You are only one day away!

Inner/Outer Beltline Confusion to be clarified!

Thank You President Obama! A direct impact of the stimulus money the Triangle is to receive will be, among other small road improvement projects, to replace the inner/outer beltline signs:

“New signs around Raleigh’s Beltline, $2 million. A small part of this expense, but a big difference for drivers, will be the removal of Inner Beltline and Outer Beltline signs. Instead, the Beltline will be divided into two routes: on the south side I-40 and on the rest I-440, with all travel directions marked east or west.” [ N&O ]

I’ll be a little confused for a while because I’ve finally gotten the hang of the inner/outer beltline directions, after only six years of driving in Raleigh, but hallelujah!

Helen! What are you doing there?

I have shortcuts of my frequently visited websites up below my address bar, and sometimes the facebook icon gets replaced with the icon of a website I just visited. This was for sure my favorite icon mix-up!

I went to click facebook, AND THERE WAS HELEN!

Blog block (???)

I just really want to blog right now, but have nooothin’ to write aboutttt. Let’s see, what can I come up with?

I bought some pink headphones today because, like magattacksyou, I lose/break/destroy/devour headphones frequently. And these pink ones were on sale at target so I was really compelled to purchase them.

I learned, or attempted to learn rather, the Stanky Leg today. It’s pretty amazing.

I’m a big Hot Chip fan right now. Actually, let’s just do a little playlist of the songs I’ve been addicted to this week:

SeeqPod – Playable Search

Judge me all you want with that mix. I don’t care. I love allll those songs. Especially Love Story with a lil fist pumpin.

Hey! That was a pretty successful post!

I want to eat this.

I want to eat this. Thank you This is Why You’re Fat.

Bad lede.

I am by no means a journalist, but I feel like I know enough to hate this lede in the N&O today:

“The Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh is starting a new ministry to gays and lesbians. Yet those who have embraced that identity may not like it.” [ Full Article ]

Embraced that identity? Really?

Oh, and Happy Valentines Day! I had a great valentines weekend, I hope everyone else did too!
