I can't believe my blog is already a year old! I intended to write a lovely retrospective post today, but instead, I've been completing my 12-page History term paper.
Need I mention, I'm done writing today?
I'm looking forward to writing about all the wonderful ways my life is different from last year, but for now - I'm going to take a welcome break from computer screen and get some sleep. 'Night.
Two days off! I have two days off. I've finished 3 papers over the last week (the last of which included 36 pages of transcription, but I don't have to look at it again until after vacation) and I get TWO DAYS OFF!
Have I mentioned the 48 hours of no school work thing?
Yeah. Whee!
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate. Guess what's on the top of the list of things I'm thankful for today? (Sing it with me, you know the words - two. days. off!)
Things I never thought I'd read in National Geographic. (2nd link is audio) Brought to you by Metafilter, home of juvenile humor since 1999.
This may be the greatest thing I've ever seen. I want this immediately, if not sooner. Squee!
My RVLDP final paper is done! And only 6 hours before it's due. GO ME!
Next up: the museum paper, then the history interview, and much more, but it doesn't do to start getting myself worked up about it yet. The final dance practical alone is enough to make me hide under a rock.
I can do this, I can do this, I can do this...
Comment verification engaged. The spammers are here. Fuckers.
I would have baked a cake! Or at least posted something for everyone who dropped by from Creek Running North.
San Francisco vacation was glorious. Spent time enjoying the company of Chris, Becky and their wonderful menagerie. Enjoyed a drunken Monkeyfilter meetup.
Arrived back home to realize I have a paper due Wednesday, for which I'm not prepared and I have to put myself on a serious internet diet for the rest of this semester. Who knew all these deadlines would sneak up on me while I was having fun?
Posting may be sporadic for a time, help yourself to the archives and I'll be back as soon as I can manage. Wish me luck!
Bay Area meetup, commence! I'll be out of town and probably not posting til Monday. Everybody have a great weekend!
Do you think I'll ever get to the point where farts aren't the height of comedy? I hope not, because I needed a good laugh today.
What?!
while the roofers are taking a break.
In an enchanting development, their work has caused my central heat/air to go down all weekend*, and my internet connection fluctuates wildly every time they start hammering. You ever notice how, when you're preparing a move, everything about the place you're moving away from is suddenly intolerable? Logically, I know it's all part of the process of moving on, but suddenly I just want all this shit DONE, and I want the hell out of here!
If your work finds that sexually explicit, well, let's just say you work at a very interesting place.Dear Roofing Company: Is it some kind of a rule that your workers can only pound on my roof a) before 9 am, b) when I'm hung over, or c) when I desperately need a nap?
Because so far, those are the ONLY times they've been on my roof. It's been going on since October 17th, and there are 18 other roofs in the complex they could be working on. Enough already!
(Do you know if you type the word 'roof' often enough it starts to look completely ridiculous?)
Twice in one year? Hell yeah, and I deserve it!
Now what on earth am I going to wear?
What kind of a psychopath finds the following behavior an acceptable course of action?
