I used to be really good at writing papers, and not even at the last minute either. Now I literally can't focus on them until it's, like, and hour away from due and I have to write something or fail. Why is this? Why can I not sit down, write a paper (or at least start it), and then bask in the glory of knowing I can relax for a few days because ( Read more... )

Eeeeee, Lucan just showed up in the First Continuation! For, like, a paragraph, and he got his butt kicked, but still!

I have decided I want to start sending read physical mail to people again. So, if you would like real physical mail from me full of totally random goodies (read: stickers and glitter and possibly books and whatever I see at the store that reminds me of you) and agree to have no expectations that these will come with any degree of regularity, you ( Read more... )

I'm currently taking a class titled "The Gawain Poet." We are currently reading parts of Chretien de Troyes Arthurian Romances (Kibler translation), specifically "The Story of the Grail (Perceval)" in preparation for reading "Gawain and the Green Knight." And as I'm reading, right away we get to poor Percy meeting knights for the first time and ( Read more... )

Also, I went to the library today to look for more Joann Sfar comics (Ferdinand the Vampire is my new best friend), and while I was there I ( Read more... )

I had rehearsal in SF this morning, so I hauled my half-dead self out of bed, got on the train, went to rehearsal, kicked ass, came home, went straight to lunch with the family (which was the fisrt I'd really eaten), got home...and immediately passed out for two hours. I was so disoriented when I woke up; I have drapes in my room to block out all ( Read more... )

This semester is proof that I am crazy, and also that I am studiously avoiding having to go be a grown-up and do things like get a job. In addition to trying to wrap up the requirements to finish both my degrees, I'm directing three One-Act plays this semster: one at SFSU and two back at LPC, because I am still queen of my JC's theater department ( Read more... )

I finally understand why people who sign up for the "101 Things in 1001 Days" challenge often list "Finish my 101 Things list" as one of their goals. It's bloody hard to come up with that many things that can be reasonably done in about three years ( Read more... )

So...every so often I have these moments when I'm like "I shoudl start a blog, and just write about the random stuff that occurs in my life and muse on whatever pops into my head with varying degrees of profundity." And then I realize that this is stupid for a myriad of reasons, some of which include ( Read more... )
