Academia: Same old, same old. Told students I couldn't make their teachers move them up to a higher level class, sent students who are still living in hotels to apartment complexes, celebrated that one of my closest friends at work also got hired full-time. Hooray!

Sartorial: I had two sources of inspiration today. One was this adorable headband that Cary bought me in Washington DC. Yay for gifts, especially ones that don't say, "My husband went to our nation's capital and all I got was this t-shirt." The other was
Academichic's Book Cover Challenge. E. posted an outfit on Friday that was inspired by the cover of
Making Face, Making Soul by Gloria Anzaldúa, and invited readers to do the same with other book covers. I thought and thought about it last night and couldn't come up with anything.

Then I got dressed today and realized I matched the cover of
The Fountainhead by
Ayn Rand, which, I have to be honest, I didn't finish because I read it right after
Atlas Shrugged and was suffering from Ayn Rand Overexposure. But the neutrals with coralish red were there in my outfit, as well as the geometric patterns in both the book cover and the headband. And I felt a little 1940s, which is when
The Fountainhead was written. I'm bummed that I didn't think to take a picture
with the book, but mine and
The Fountainhead's matchiness hadn't dawned on me yet when I was taking pictures this morning. Oh well, win some, lose some.
Unless you're a character in one of Ayn Rand's books, in which case you win everything or are outed as the giant loser that you are.
