Making a list of where the top ten films of each year were mixed and I am cross referencing this with the academy award nominations. I know this is well known, but it always amazes me what films don't get nominated and what films were not popular when released.

Debating between staying at my desk to write and heading outside for a walk. It is a beautiful day, so the pull to head outside is strong.

Just got to school and it has started snowing. It looks so pretty and I love snow. I just wish that I had remembered to put the snow brush in the car. It might be interesting getting ready to leave later today....

Update: The laptop that I spilled water on in my last post (over a year ago) is still going strong! Side note -- I clearly need to post more.

Yesterday was my first day back. Classes went great! But the hallway to my office is now full of forgotten furniture, making an already narrow hallway, super tight. Then I spilled my water bottle onto my laptop. 🤦♀️ Forced a break, but everything seems to be working well. Fingers crossed.

I did a caffeine cleanse this summer to cut back on my dependency. Most of the summer I have only been drinking decaf. Today I had my first cup of low caffeine coffee. And wow -- caffeine is wonderful!
