1. All of this ridiculous controversy over the Indiana RFRA makes me very concerned that religious liberties are going to become even more acceptable to discriminate against. The sweeping generalizations that the left has made about it, the painting of Republicans and religious conservatives as intolerant bigots, and the media bias toward this is beyond the pale.
2. So much good music lately, including Courtney Barnett, Lord Huron, Death Cab, Laura Marling...I'm feeling more optimistic that this year's music will be as good as two years ago.
3. It's April and it snowed in Michigan yesterday. I really hope next week is warm in the Midwest.
4. Why oh why is Monica Lewinsky in the headlines? But if it reminds people of how shamefully the Clintons treated her, all the better.
5. Sick of getting Ted Cruz campaign calls. When will Scott Walker enter?
6. One month about done, and 11 more left in my 30s. I can't...
7. Very concerned about good health lately. Just worried.
8. I'm looking forward to trying Blue Apron again tomorrow night and this weekend. I need to cook more and branch out. Of the first group, turkey chilli was my favorite. I loved the addition of avocado.
9. It's been nice to have some girl time this past Saturday and with Sara's shower. I cannot believe they have their baby already. Funny saying already, after so many years of waiting, though.
10. I'm almost done with "A Peace to End All Peace." Shameful at how Great Britain and France carved up the Middle East and how the United States abdicated all leadership then. It's been very educational reading these books on Islam and the WWI/post-WWI era and how that laid the foundation for so many years of tragedy in that region.
And I need to write more. I know.

Ten Things on My Mind
1. I wish I hadn't suggested a baby shower for S. Just being honest.
2. Looking forward to this three day weekend, so I can actually work out.
3. I've been craving chocolate lately. Weird.
4. 4:30 meetings are evil.
5. I really miss my nephews.
6. This bizarro John Kerry/James Taylor "You've got a friend" things is too weird.
7. I need to get a new suit.
8. I'm over the NFL, sadly, after last Sunday's sad loss.
9. Has it been almost a month since Christmas vacation? Where does the time go?
10. Pomegranate green tea is an afternoon tradition now.

Ten Random Thoughts of the Day
Can't believe S is in China...
Buckley v. Valeo is probably going to be struck down at some point, unless Rs lose the Court.
Good music has been tough to discover this year. I hope I haven't jumped the shark in discovering it...
New York, Chicago, jury duty...going to be an active month.
Bachelorette parties change as you grow older. Cuba Libra at 7, then home by 11. No more bar hopping in Adams Morgan (not that I ever did so much of that...).
Yoga twice this week. It's probably a good goal to do that more often, right?
Winter can't come back now that the baseball season has started, right?
I was not a fan of the HIMYM finale, like many, many others. Though Josh Radnor sells the decision to kill off the mother (spoiler!) as good as anyone, and I give the creators credit for sticking to their vision. Most shows aren't crafted so well. That being said, I wish the show had ended with the adorable yellow TM umbrella conversation. And I think it is tragically sad that the mother died at only 40.
This NYC dinner on Saturday will be epic, though I'm not too eager about sweetbreads the sequel.
No surprise that Vince Gray lost the primary. I don't know how I feel about Muriel Bowser, though I'm glad she will have competition from David Catania. And I'm glad that Charles Allen won; Tommy Wells has been a good councilman overall, and I'm sure Allen will be so as well.

Five Random Thoughts
Tropical Storm Isaac beckons New Orleans. I swear, some liberals are praying for this storm just to give a big F-U to the GOP meeting in Tampa. Unreal.
Fantasy Football draft one is Saturday. So not prepared. Draft two? Sunday....
How in the world is John Stamos 49 years old? Wow.
Way overpriced. It has been interesting to see the renovation process, though.
Detroit Unbuzzed. Sounds interesting!

Five Random Thoughts
1. WHY do I always get a cold before a long race? OK, it's only happened twice, but I've been sick twice this entire winter and this is what happens!! ARGH!
2. Just about to say I'm excited about the new Frightened Rabbits album and a song is playing now on WOXY! One of these days I need to hit up SXSW.
3. Not excited about Posto tonight. Rather would head home.
4. Great weather expected Saturday for the half. Phew, one less thing to worry about.
5. Go ahead Nancy, deem that bill passed. Because the rule of law technically doesn't matter, right Mr. Law Professor? "Insuring 30 million uninsured Americans is far more important than the procedural rule that is followed in getting it done." Yup. That is far more important.
