wrote a paper. Sort of. I mean I did write the paper, but it is not very good. And it isn't actually done b/c I mean I literally wrote the paper, i.e. with a pen. So it isn't typed, so I have to type it. And add all the sections where I said "see star" or "see pg one" or "see quote" or "see other introduction." In other words, it is not assembled and the pieces are all over my room, might be a few outside too (on the porch).
Oh and I uh did not write (or even type, or really think about) the paper that is due TOMORROW. Funny how that was a self-imposed deadline. Hi, prof I NEED a deadline to function. Ok, how about March 31st? Great! And the email tomorrow will read, sorry but I really haven't had time to even look at your paper.

Spring Break
Yep, it is Spring Break, so I have next week off, but won't be doing much but reading.* I am probably helping a friend paint, which will be fun since I actually like painting. Might eat a lot of candy since apparently my mom is sending me a box full.
Saw Alice by the way. Liked it, but there was something off. Burton are you losing your edge? The ending just did not work at all. A local newspaper gave it a C+ while giving that stupid new New Orleans movie an A. I wouldn't say it was that bad (or the other was even remotely that good.** Maybe a B or even B+, b/c really the only annoyance was the ending. You can't trust those reviewers, I swear!
In other news, here is my summary of recent grad school drama. In case you care to know.
Oh and this is what I want for my birthday. Well tickets I should say. If you start a fundraiser right now, maybe we can raise enough money for me to go.
I have zero other news. Seriously. I can't even complain about my sections b/c they are pretty standard and drama free this semester. Thank God. One less stressor is always welcome.
One last thing. this is happening soon. I have a couple of movies picked out in case I have time to go, and considering last year's fiasco I will definitely buy tickets before the day of the film.
*And yes, I am updating my blog despite my promise to do "nothing but work." I read a million articles this morning. I am done reading for this paper. It is already too long, so I am just going to write the rest of this evening.
** No, I haven't seen it, but I refuse too. Just like the Frog Princess Disney thing.

Oh, Alice!
Did I ever mention how much I love Johnny Depp... and Tim Burton....and Alan Rickman....and Lewis Carroll....
Aren't I lucky that all of my favorite things happen to be in a movie that is coming out on Friday?
Aren't I even more lucky that my friends want to go see a movie that I want to see? This rarely happens.

Hot Chocolate Induced Insomnia
Seriously what the hell? I know that it was rich thick amazing chocolate, but I cannot actually believe that I am still awake. While this does give me an opportunity to pretend that I have a blog that I update, I do need to be productive tomorrow, which means I need to go to sleep now. Not likely to happen any time soon :(
Also not likely b/c my friend is on Skype and we decided to relive the funny terrifying moments spent in the convent in Ukraine this summer. As most people know, we didn't actually live in the convent, but in converted apartments in the courtyard. A key moment being when the mirror crashed to the floor around midnight scaring us to death: my roommate said "call 911" and I grabbed a vase for "protection." Not a good moment for either of us :)
But otherwise...what have I been up to since the SuperBowl? Well nothing. Went out for Valentine's Day, had fun dancing, became even more addicted to a certain band, applied for funding and stuff, wrote a few pages, read a few books, had an existential (or maybe theoretical) crisis, became involved in random department drama. And to add one thing more:
Started a secessionist movement - that is crucial and defining. Long live the Republic of West Florida!!
But sadly the people (person?) who reads this already knew all of that. Bleh.

Geaux Saints
Who dat won the SuperBowl?!! The Saints, the Saints!!
Ok, I am done. Just a moment of euphoria for the boys back home.
I might decide to wear Saint's colors tomorrow, some random combination of black and gold. To make things more interesting (and tacky) how about gold Mardi Gras beads? Hm....
