i really do love wine.

i have to get up for work in a little over five hours but i cannot sleep for the life of me.

today i did the cleaning thing, the laundry thing, the study thing, the work thing, and i'm currently wrapping up the nerdy thing for the evening before counting sheep in my head in my most valiant attempt at sleep.

i cannot stop listening to janelle monae. i'm not sure why i'm so late on the game when it comes to her but i'm so happy that i finally saw the light. diddy is a genius; i seriously need to sit down and have lunch with him. alas, that's another tangent for another day. had she not signed with bad boy, i really would have liked to put out her record. yeah, ok, dream big.

she's doing a cmj showcase this thursday at the bowery. i'm so bummed i'm going to miss it by a matter of hours. do yourself a favor and check her out because she's incredible. [sidebar: i should stop writing as though i'm preaching to a choir for i'm the only person who reads my blog... because i haven't told anyone about it yet.]

i'm still so incredibly homesick. i hope this feeling goes away soon because it's affecting the extent to which i enjoy my time in madison. i have to keep reminding myself that this quaint little city is my home and i should soak it all in before i move again.

barack obama is speaking five blocks from my apartment on thursday. i'm a little bit excited about going to see him before i head to chicago later in the day.

this thing is all over the place. i have three sips of wine to finish, chomps to be brushed, and a bed to be slept in.

...aaaaand she's off.
