Mundanely Profound

Hi there!

This blogging service is acting a little fishy recently. It takes a while after I post something for it to maybe appear for you the general public. So be careful with the news I give. I might say something like I'm going to propose to a girlfriend tonight. By the time you all hear about it from the post (and you're not a cool enough friend to call me occasionally) and want to wish me well in the comments, said girlfriend would have already ripped my heart out of my chest, stomped on it, and run away from me crying, never wanted to be associated with any guy ever again.

And then your comment would just be insensitive, so be careful.

So I want to signal a marathon session of paper writing that is going to be tough but I have a feeling somehow I will manage, given some conditions. First, when getting one paper done, I should not decide that I'm through being not-lazy and go on a Chicago boozing rampage until the night before the next paper. I tend to do that after getting a big project done. Well a more watered down version meaning going out to a movie on a weeknight and smelling spilt booze at the bus stop. Second condition is that for the next week and a half, I have to get in through my pampered skull that sleeping multiple hours every night is a privllege, not a right. I'm still getting tired, not physically, but tired of thinking about schoolwork, at about 10pm and then calling it quits for the night. By calling it quits that has meant staying up until midnight doing things I wanted to do all the day, read for pleasure, watch TV, daydream, etc. And today that's still the case, although I want to do a little more. I was so professional today that I schedule an interview with a planning advocacy organizaiton I'm doing a paper on, and for the first time I used a tape recorder to preserve what these folks were saying. So transcribing or gleaning the parts of that is my before-midnight goal after I post this. The only annoying thing is I can't listen to music while doing that, obviously.

Finally please look and laugh your ass off at GET YOUR WAR ON! cartoons. I love it when I'm reading the above caption and its so damn funny, and there's a whole cartoon below it. As with most obscure things I'm into, I don't think his humor is completely understandable if you haven't read his other stuff. But hey you know what, you can take time from your boring lives to read the other stuff. In the least, you will be less alienated from my awesome and perfect tastes.

OK, Passover is coming up too! Hooray!
