impoverished artifices

Today, I expect to spend a few to 6 hours working on syllabi, making copies, etc., which will be both exciting and frustrating. I'm trying not to use the plug-and-play approach--copy and pasting new data into old syllabi. I also would like to play with form a bit, tweaking typefaces, adding some images, that sort of business.

But, in the meantime, I drink coffee, listen to Mos Def's "New Danger" and "The Ecstatic", and catch up on some friendly blogs, namely Sarah Marine Godsave's I can be your Oklahomie - which gave me the idea to add a "Friendlies" feed in the right column. Thanks, Sarah!
