Many important things.

1. I finished Life on Mars, about 6 weeks after it actually ended. I loved it. And now it's gone FOREVER. How do I go on??? My bravery is what makes me an American.

2. Why do I watch Amazing Race with excitement each week when I don't care who wins? I don't know! But it's that combination of detachment and investment that makes me an American enigma.

3. The other day Harper took a necklace I was wearing, while I was holding her, and said, "I'm going to hurt mommy" and stabbed me with it. I told her that since she did that she wasn't going to get to play, and was she going to do that again, to which she responded, "No. I'll do it later." I think she may have missed the point, but I can't be sure until I'm bleeding.

4. Why is it that any park I run in when there are two or more people walking side by side and I come running up behind them, they don't bother to move at all? Why is that, America? Am I that quiet? Are they, every single one of them, that immersed in conversation that I come up on them by surprise? Should I be a spy? I don't think so, because it happens even when they are walking towards me. I think instead, maybe they're all just assholes. I'm sorry, but it makes me angry!! Anger!!

5. Finally, I must have listened to the new song from fun, the new band by the lead singer of the now defunct (step over my river of tears and continue reading) The Format, a lot. And I love it a little more each time. If I could move this song into my home and marry it without hurting Brett's feelings, I would do it. That's how serious I am about this song. If I had the intelligence to know how to link to it directly I would. But instead I'm asking you to go to itunes look up "fun." and "At least I'm not as sad as I used to be" and thank yourself for your efforts.

You're welcome, America!
