thought about

not blogging today, but it's habit-forming. Or a habit. Or... hm.

Postsecret was fantastic as always. I've recently become addicted to the Showtime series Weeds (I've only watched the first three episodes). And what's up with potentially removing checks and balances? It's a crazy world.

I'm officially panicking about this thesis, which is sort of good and sort of bad. It means I'm sitting in front of my laptop for hours on end (yesterday I got up at 9:30am, took an hour nap at 1:30, other breaks, and went to bed at 5am, which is approximately 15 hours of staring at this screen - I'm officially planning on taking all kinds of crazy vacations, mental and international, when this is over), and I'm not allowing myself to go out because I would just be thinking about the fact that I should be working and not having fun (the ambiguity in that clause has been retained for ambiguity's sake), but I'm also experiencing periods of near-paralysis, which is not good. I think I checked my myspace page 10 times yesterday. Not because I give a rat's ass, but because I need some sort of brainless distraction and I'm beginning to think there is no such thing. And I don't really want to not think anyway, so seeking out something brainless is counterproductive, essentially. I'm rambling because I need to get to work. The world can wait. Five days, 23 minutes til turn-in time...
