Thoughts on a Tuesday

I'm working on a couple of posts that require more thought than I'm willing/able to put forth now, so here's a bulleted list of things I feel the need to share:

- Lady Gaga KILLED IT at the Oscars on Sunday. I have to say, she wouldn't have been the first person to spring to mind for a Sound of Music tribute, but her performance was damn near flawless. In case you missed it, watch it here.

- Bagels with cream cheese are just the best. I ate one for lunch pretty much every day of high school, and I still love them. Cheese and carbs are really the building blocks of all my favorite foods.

- Big Dipper was a guest on a podcast I like, and I now I cannot stop listening to "Skank." At first I thought it was kinda crass (not that that bothers me, I just noticed its NSFW-ish nature), but then I realized if were a dude rapping about doing sex to a lady, I wouldn't have a second thought about it. For example, Kanye has that whole outro about "Yeezy reupholstered my pussy" in "Blame Game." Suck on that!

- I made both Carmelitas and Special K Bars for my birthday, then ate the majority of them while snowed in on Sunday. Sorry I'm not sorry.

Parting thought: During the last week of February last year, this was happening:

And this year, this is happening:

Is it summer yet?
