Smile, damnit.

The Jayhawks lost. The Teabaggers got all racist up in this piece. I somehow convinced myself the husband was coming home from a few days away this afternoon, when it’s actually tomorrow afternoon. Alex Chilton died. My brother cancelled his trip to KC, and I was really looking forward to seeing him, and his lovely family.

Basically it’s all “wamp wamp waaaammp” over here.

So here. Smile. Be happy. And be glad you’re not at home with H1N1 (like poor, poor KT).

1. First up, hula hoops! Dancing in the halls! And Zooey Dechanel, firmly cementing my ongoing girl-crush.

2. I booked my tickets to NYC in May! Can’t wait to see these lovely faces!

3. Yay for healthcare reform!
And a special “yay!” for my Rep. Dennis Moore who was the only Kansas legislator to vote for it. I so wish he wasn’t leaving Congress. (Also, thanks to my former Missouri representative, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver for voting yes.)

4. MGMT has a new album out…you can listen to it for free here.

5. And also, this.

The end.
