  • 11:54 @kmdeluca What? And miss out on such useful, time-wasting techniques as "paraphrase x 3" and "10 on 1"? :P #
  • 11:55 Man, I don't want to spend today in Denney thinking about English. I just managed to escape it on Friday. :( #
  • 23:28 I survived the first day of the prequarter workshop. #
  • 23:30 Now, I can play Batman all night. Na na na na Batman. #

  • 02:05 Phil bought me Arkham Asylum. It's a great game, and appropriate for my level of sanity at this time of the quarter. #
  • 02:06 Penny Arcade posted a comic on it that is greatness: bit.ly/170VLL #
  • 19:38 I've just watched Wag the Dog for the first time. It's a really good and smart movie. Might show part of it to my 1st years. #
  • 19:39 @deliriumdriver Excellent. It's a good feeling, isn't it? :P #

  • 00:28 just voted "Agnostic! :D" on "Show Us Twitter's Religious Diversity." vote too ➔ bit.ly/LIJ8G #
  • 00:29 @kmdeluca Thanks for the tip. It was edible in the end, but the texture was odd. :) #
  • 00:30 @deliriumdriver If it makes you feel better, my Milton paper boils down to "He was really bitter about being blind." #
  • 01:42 Yay. My Milton paper needs to be edited, but it's basically done. The end is in sight. Finis coronat opus. :P #
  • 18:39 I am officially on holiday . . . for two days. #

  • 01:22 I took a break from my paper to finish Mirror's Edge. The ending disappoints after how hard it was to finish it. #
  • 01:25 Phew. Looks like the Megan Fox rumor was just a rumor: bit.ly/1kOeen #
  • 12:36 I'm starting to stress about the school not finding a new time in which I can teach. I guess they're waiting to see if others have issues. #
  • 13:52 I hate working in a different historical period sometimes. I have no idea what the standard Renaissance Bible is. #
  • 13:56 It seems to be the Authorized King James. I now need to find a copy of it online. Joy. #
  • 16:39 Haha. I'm now teaching at 7.30 AM. Like Cassandra, I am a prophet of my own doom. /melodrama #
  • 22:19 @chesea Welcome back. I'm glad you got through part of a road-trip at least. #
  • 22:20 I'm making meatloaf without any bread crumbs, since bugs seem to have colonised that canister and I don't feel like shopping. :( #

  • 01:35 @deliriumdriver It's too late for me as well. My brain shuts down after a certain point. Plus, I have a German exam at 7.30 AM tomorrow. #
  • 14:34 German exam went well. I'm amazed that I managed to remember anything at 7.30. :P #
  • 16:26 @deliriumdriver I'm sorry, but I don't have Fowler. I'm borrowing Shannon's Norton edition. :( #
  • 17:51 So, Megan Fox as Catwoman. It's as if they thought the first two new Batman movies were too good, and had to do something about it. #
  • 20:44 I amuse myself sometimes. I've just written "attitudes, beliefs and concerns," and thought "a, b, c"! #
  • 20:45 @cassius335 I suspect her casting has more to do with how she'll look in tight vinyl. Which makes me sad, since C. should be more complex. #
  • 20:45 @deliriumdriver Awesome. I hope things are going well for you. #

  • 14:23 My postmodernism paper is written and edited. Now, I need to finish my 17th century one. Meh. #
  • 17:58 I know my paper is becoming longer, and the page count is increasing, but it doesn't feel like that. #

  • 11:59 I was telling Phil that someone really needs to make a cartoon about hating Monday. It should have a dog and a cat who dislike each other. #
  • 12:00 Their owner should be a schizophrenic who believes they talk to him. And it should be named after a US President. I'm thinking Polk or Taft. #
  • 20:54 My teaching assignment is surprisingly decent. 1:30PM on Mondays and Wednesdays. Beats the 7:30 I was expecting. #
  • 20:57 Ew. Sour Patch Chillerz are disgusting. They're like a Sour Patch Kid mated with a Cough Drop. :( #
  • 21:03 Blast, I knew that was too good to be true. It clashes with Rhetoric. #
  • 21:30 @deliriumdriver Oh, I got an e-mail today. They may not have sent yours yet. Unfortunately, they've given me a time that I can't do. :/ #

  • 13:13 My weekend of work begins now and cannot stop until Monday. #
  • 13:14 @chesea Have fun. I'm jealous. I get two days break after this quarter. :P #
  • 23:21 My paper for postmodernism is HORRIBLE, but it's almost done and I don't think I care enough at this point to make it non-horrible. #

  • 03:09 Some days, I regret not becoming a geneticist like I planned at one point. #
  • 03:10 After the whole SA runner controversy, I've been reading up about genetics again, and I forgot how amazing the subject was. #
  • 12:27 We're watching Goodbye, Lenin in German. It's a surprisingly good movie. I've been telling everyone about it. #

  • 15:57 Huh. Why is Microsoft Word wanting to correct "peach pip" to "peach pie"? Do Americans have a different word for the 'stone' inside a fruit? #
  • 19:03 @deliriumdriver American is an odd language. #

  • 01:50 I am so full of hate for grad school right now. #
  • 02:16 It's end of quarter, which means writing papers until your brain leaks out through your ears. #
  • 17:32 Why does my clinical depression always wait until paper week to hit me like a ton of bricks? #
  • 17:32 I need to go back on medication, but can't do so until I'm done, since adjusting to a new drug will make me pretty non-functional. #
  • 17:33 Sorry for TMI. No-one wants to know about other people's mental problems, really. :( #
  • 18:52 You know you've done too much work in gender studies when you automatically write "heterosexual marriage." #

  • 15:09 @kawaface That site is great. I always love finding other people's bookmarks in library books. They're normally so interesting. #
  • 15:10 @kawaface BTW, we should all get together and have a game night soon. We have the Settlers expansion waiting to be tried. :) #

I should update this thing, shouldn't I?

I had it set to update from my Twitter, but that apparently isn't working and I know that no-one reads Twitter posts anyway.

I'm not sure why I haven't been updating. It's not as if I have done nothing, seen nothing, thought about nothing for the last few weeks. I just have gotten out of the habit of writing posts on LJ, and almost everyone I know has moved to Twitter anyway.

So, I guess I need to figure out a way to make this journal work for me. Or maybe I need to stop overthinking.
