Checking In or Checking Out

Must. Read. Shirley. Jackson.

I will, really, I promise.

I finished a draft of my paper and sent it to professors, thought about writing a draft of that pesky conference paper, thought of some good ideas for making my Halloween costume, got pissed off about Yanukovych-related-news in Ukraine, thought about reading for classes next week, and ...

Clearly I've been doing way more "thinking" about things than actually "doing."  But hey, I figure that is a step in the right direction. 

(Sorry all recent post are inane, but then again I remind myself (and you all) that posting total random nonsense was built into the blog concept from the beginning.  And besides we can't all be as cool as China Mieville). 

At the Moment...

Not finishing the book that I was supposed to read for tomorrow - typical.

Just finished making a dessert that involves half a bag of oreos, a can of fudge, 2/3 of half a gallon of vanilla ice cream, and most of a container of cool whip. It might be lethal.

Received a book in the mail today (not that I should be buying any), and decided to read it while the ice cream was melting - hence the reason I didn't finish my homework, but I blame the post office. If they just would have kept that other book one more day.

Oh, Faulkner by the way. I did start a Soldiers' Pay. The beginning is seriously hilarious.

And finally whilst stating random things about books - the one that I lost on the plane, remember that? - yeah, well I finally got the replacement copy in today (which is actually another much longer story, but not right now...) so tomorrow I can officially have my damned account unblocked. Great timing as Spring Break really means Research Papers.

Going to bed now have a great night!
