A Morning in the Life

The morning started off well... awake at 9:00 and ready to start the day!
Before beginning work, of course, I had a few tasks to take care of:

• Dishes (lots of them)
  
• Read about how to make French Press Coffee (CoffeeGeek.com is obsessively wonderful). Despite the fact that I have expensive and delicious Murky Coffee I brought back from DC, lament that my grinder is apparently actually a "product pretending to be a grinder," meaning I am sure to get a sludgy, awful cup of press coffee. Apparently I didn't do my research. Do said research. Stop lamenting, because the recommended Bodum burr grinder, is $129 on Amazon.com, while my Hamilton Beach Custom Grind cost $19.99. Remember that I am a grad student, not a fancy pants professional, and sometimes the life of the mind requires sacrifices. Make the coffee. Enjoy it for its perfect location at the intersection of taste and thrift.
  
• While enjoying said coffee, watch Joe Biden's old appearance on The Daily Show in honor of his choice as VP.
  
• Take the test in Stuff White People Like to determine my degree of whiteness. Despite the fact that I am simultaneously enjoying coffee (#1) and The Daily Show (#35), I only turn up 44% white. Can't decide whether to be happy or sad about this.
  
• Write this post.

So much accomplished in a mere hour and a half. Maybe now it's time to work? Or to clean my room!
