I just filled up on yummy Mexican food and should be doing the massive amount of work that I've got to do, but I can't focus. I actually haven't been able to focus since getting back to school this semester. But I guess in some ways it's good, because I've actually not been avoiding people, and in general socializing quite a bit. In fact, I ( Read more... )

After a week of living as a recluse in my (really nice) non-house (complete with dog, cat, two horses, and a fish), I celebrated with an awesome weekend of socializing and reminded myself that yes, I actually do like people still. This is a fact that I'd been debating over the last few months and it is somewhat reassuring that I haven't completely ( Read more... )

I went to the dentist this morning, and even though it was just a teeth cleaning it was really uncomfortable and aggravating. As I'm getting older I'm starting to firmly believe that the equine dentists have really got the right idea when it comes to this sort of thing.

I think I'm in love with Detective John Munch of Homicide: Life on the Street and Law and Order: SVU (yes, the weird dude with the big ears in my icon). I mean really, I'm in love.

So, without a doubt, Tom Robbins now totally rocks my world. I hate to go along with the hype, and I hate to be so late to get on the bandwagon, but I am a full fledged fan as of, umm yesterday. Last semester Kim told us this story about when she realized that Dracula was like, really good, and she went around to all her fellow grad student ( Read more... )

The last few weeks I've been listening to a lot of Smashing Pumpkins that Jen put on my computer over last summer. I was never cool enough to listen to Smashing Pumpkins back when their heyday (beyond knowing their most mainstream hits). So I recently discovered the song Said Sadly . . . off of Bullet with Butterfuly Wings album, and have been ( Read more... )

I have to give a speech on chocolate tomorrow, and I have yet to write it and practice it. I have to write an essay for tomorrow, which I could easily turn into a 5 page rant on my personal beefs with literature's classic canon. Chocolate, ranting, the canon, all things about which I tend to get very enthused. And yet I find myself struck by an ( Read more... )
