I’m wearing big earrings today and I can’t stop swinging them around.

Though they used to be a staple of my wardrobe, I haven’t worn earrings this long and dangly in a long time (too many years in the land of pearls and sweater sets rid me of the habit). I’m not completely sure they’re appropriate for work, but I’m completely sure I do not care. They are making me feel delightfully (albeit mildly) rebellious, and may just get me through another dreary work day.

You know what else pretends to be is delightfully (albeit mildly) rebellious? Liz Phair. Not so much (at all) with “Why Can’t I,” which is what I heard this morning, but some of the stuff off Exile in Guyville is kind of great. I wish I’d heard “Divorce Song” this morning instead. There’s a song that’ll make you walk like you’re ready to kick some ass.

Hey! Lookit that! Liz Phair — possibly a heretofore unreferenced name on ye olde Auto Tunes? Do I get ten points?
