    If it's wrong to eat a wedge of brie like a piece of pizza... I don't want to be right.

    I'm wearing this shirt at the moment.

    Discuss.

    Oh, thanks, fellow starry-eyed idiots, for putting this article in my face. It is, from what I've seen, entirely valid. And that makes me sad, except not, because I had already given up years ago.

    Administration FTW?

    End of an Era

    I have just TC'ed a bag of Reese's Whipps Miniatures. The orange wrappers are all over my living room floor, surrounding the couch. I have become Geraldine Granger, the Vicar of Dibley.

    (Google Image Search is useless to me.)

    Hello, World! Where have you been?

    I turned in my grades today, with a bit of help from my TA [info]slywinkle. He just did data entry, no grating, of course. But it helped!

    I came home to six e-mails about grades, even though I sent them an e-mail about how they should leave me alone. Awesome.

    Tomorrow we're going to the new Tinton Falls Outlets with my mother. That's my awesome break. Now that I'm done, I guess I should pay attention to the real world, like... Christmas shopping, organizing the first floor of my house, getting ready to go to Boston/Salem for an extended period, paying bills, seeing people I've been neglecting... hooray for "break"!

    If anyone wants to make me new icons, go for it. Just make them good and easy to read. I just don't have time these days...

    My computer stresses me out, but I feel like I need to update. I don't know why, but it's all running so slowly... stupid McAfee.

    - So many LJ friends, so little time. Maybe this will change, but I just don't have time to read entries. Contact me if there's something you want to say.

    - R found my wallet, after I'd replaced my license and debit card. It was in his backpack, where I put it on Halloween so I wouldn't lose it. So that's over.

    - We went to Boston on a whim this weekend. We saw Milk, which was excellent, but very heavy. We went to First Degree. I accidentally ordered a $36 margarita--I thought it was $6. I should have known since it was called the "Mob Boss". I probably need reading glasses.

    - I have SO MUCH grating to do, but the end is in sight. Wish me luck, and I'll see you all around the 18th.

    I feel like there was more to be said, but I forgot. I have to put the computer down and go to bed. Last day of class tomorrow!!!

    I'm all videos lately.
    But this one, picked up from [info]nudewoody, is just too good not to share.



    Like, seriously. Watch it. I think it's even SFW.

    That's right, you tell them, Wanda!


    The full site is Think B4 You Speak. Yes, I hate that they threw in text speak, but it's really a good site. I wonder if I should share it with my students?

    Jeez.

    I knew this schedule would be stressful, but damn. I hope that after this week--with everyone mostly moved, and with all of the rough drafts back in--I can get back to a normal workload and sleep a bit. I apologize if I've dropped off the face of the earth, but I just generally don't have time to go on the Internet anymore. Feel free to call, but I might not be able to pick up.

    Nothing personal, just business--you understand, right?

    I also would like to start wearing my own underwear sometime soon. That requires me to go get the rest of it from my parents' house... which I don't really have the time to do (especially since it would turn into a story session and dinner and movie and all that crap, because I think my parents really miss us).

    Time to grade more drafts, wait for a student to come in, and prep for my one class today.

    Writer's Block: Six-Word Story

    Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” He is believed to have called it his greatest literary work ever. Can you write a story in six words?

    No, I don't think I can.

    Back from Maine and Massachusetts. Lots of fun times in Salem and Rangeley, with relaxation in Boston afterwards.

    By the way, we left all four of our phone chargers at home, so if you tried to call us... now you know why it didn't get through.

    Now I get to prepare for the semester. Time to schedule every waking second of my time!

    Done with the summer session!

    Time to get ready for the fall! It was confirmed that I will be teaching all four (and a half) classes this fall, so I have to basically schedule every single minute on M-R, 11 hours a day. With three-day weekends and a commitment to only make plans for one night each time, I think I should be ok. Hopefully with an office in my new apartment I can get work done at home, too. We'll see, though.

    Off to Boston for a week, with a sojourn to Maine for a wedding this weekend. Let me know if you want to hang out, but I can't guarantee anything...

    I'm pretty much declaring "tl;dr" on my flist and most of my e-mail. I just got Final Fantasy Tactics A2, and it's pretty rad, so I basically have been playing that and watching The Tudors for the past week, not to mention seeing Mamma Mia! and The Dark Knight and going to Clementon Park, and dinner in The Village on Saturday, and this stupid commute thing.

    So, that's where I'll be. Call me if you want to talk to me, or text me, or pretend that I'll read my e-mail. We can also make AIM dates if you're desperate, as I know you all are.

    There goes my 20/15 vision!

    create your own visited states map
    or check out these Google Hacks.

    Thanks, driving to Dallas, driving from Minneapolis, driving to Orlando!

    The only ones I haven't slept over in are places like NH (but I've been up there a lot), NC (been there a lot, too), OH, AR (but I blew a tire there!), and DC.

    Shit, bitches... I move your asses all over the country. Next time I move, my mother is not invited and you are requested to come.

    I'm sad, angry, difficult, frustrated, frustrating, irritable, irritating, confused, confusing, and generally down lately. It's hard to watch, hard to deal with, and hard to ignore.

    But it doesn't mean I need friends any less than before.

    I had an extremely stressful weekend. While there were a few isolated high points, overall it was generally terrible. I also feel guilty because I didn't live up to a lot of people's expectations.

    You know what, though? I survived. I didn't "live", but I survived.

    Someday I'll do more than just "survive" a day. I'll let you know when that happens.

    I am never eating eggs again. My mother made us breakfast today (which was nice), but she gave us a ton of eggs (I estimated two each, because I can't imagine the alternative). thedailyplate.com tells me that I have already consumed 142%(!!!) of my cholesterol for the day.

    The worst part is, there was a carton of Egg Busters (Wegmans egg substitute), and because it looked like it wasn't Egg Beaters, my mother thought we would need eggs instead.

    142%!!!!!!!!!

    How am I not dead yet?
