I am no man!

Just got back from GeekFest '03 Return of the King, at what we were told was possibly the largest single viewing of the film in the country.

Cool.

Will hopefully post a longish review tomorrow, when my ears have stopped ringing and I'm awake enough to think straight. But... damn. So freaking awesome. misanthropicsob is right-- Lord of the Rings is definitely the Star Wars of our generation.

Just...wow.

Not a problem I expected to have...

So after waking up later than planned, hacking my lungs out for a while, chugging down over the counter drugs and taking an unplanned nap, I finally managed to sit my ass down in the Fishbowl and get to work around 3. I've now got a little over 4 pages, which under the circumstances is pretty impressive (the ability to copy/paste directly from my thesis helped a lot here...), but I'm beginning to realize that my argument is only going to be sustainable for about 5 pages, maybe 6 at the outset, but definitely not the 7-10 mandated by the assignment.

Damn it.

I'm gonna write til I hit the bottom of page 5, at which point naiveinsight will take a look and recommend places to add more detail/flesh out my argument/whatever, and I'll go grab something to eat, which should help my mental processes a bit. But... dammit, I've already written 30 pages about children's lit, you wouldn't think it'd be that hard to get through 7-10 pages without having to turn on the bullshit generator.

Whatever. It's not even really about quality at this point--just get me through the requisite number of pages, just let me survive this freaking week with mind and body semi-intact, and I'll be happy.

Progress report

7 1/3 pages of craptasticness. Must get to the bottom of page 8 in order to not consider myself a failure at life.

In other news, today I managed to consume an entire Jimmy John's #4. Granted, it took me like 45 minutes to get through the whole thing, but whatever. I consider it an accomplishment anyway. It's just been one of those weeks--I'll take my accomplishments where I can get them.

Also: My pseudo-Sudafed and over the counter cough medicine are due to wear off pretty soon, and I'm still relatively snot-free. Score.

Come on, girl. You just pulled 7 1/3 pages out of your ass, another 2/3 of a page should be cake.

I've just decided that Criminology can suck it tonight. As soon as I finish this damned paper, I'm taking the rest of the night for sanity and sleep. Screw you, Crime and Justice minor.

w00t!

Craptastic KidLit paper = DONE

And now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to mathforlovers, where much hair-dying, kitty-petting, pot-smoking fun will be had by all.

*smoooooooch*

PSA

I would like to announce that I just walked home from the Fishbowl listening to Queen's "We Are the Champions" on my iPod.

It's been that kinda week.

That is all.
