1. Today I got a new job that involves a big sexy desk and a dress code so lenient that I pretty much have to just be sure I’m dressed at all, really.

2. Today was maybe the first time in my long and sordid NYU career that my registration date rolled around - that special time at which the planets align and I’m allowed to sign up for next semester - and I didn’t have a single problem getting all of my classes. No leftover tuition payments to be made, no advisors forgetting to clear my schedule, no classes already full, no missing honors access codes: I got everything in one blissful go.

3. Today I got a copy of this Lovecraft book from the one and only Peter Cohen (or at least the very coolest Peter Cohen) of my own native Massachusetts. I think I probably have the best readers ever.
