I've had a lazy day off so far. It's been raining all day. I did go to the store to get carrots, however, because I forgot them on Saturday. I don't mind carrots, but broccoli must be destroyed.
Ugh...now I must do laundry.

Weird blog things going on; this blog deleted and rewritten.
I must go to the grocery store. However, I haven't left the house all weekend. Or even gotten dressed, bathed, or anything else that would make me presentable enough to go to the grocery store. I have brushed my teeth, though; I have to draw the line somewhere.

The info I got from your posts helped me make money off of some bio-diesel guys, so there
It's now Saturday night, so I can finally sing Sam Cooke.
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody.
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid.
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to.
I'm in an awful way.
But I have what's important. I have my cigarettes, and I have my books.

Apparently I was supposed to get a bound copy of my thesis (and everyone else in my honors class) but this didn't happen. I'm not surprised. I was kind of the prodigal honors student and the director and I did not get along. Whatever - photocopies.
I'm not even that opinionated on academic dishonesty. But at that moment it just seemed like enough is enough. I give a big announcement at the beginning that cheating is ridiculous on a practice exam because you don't get a fair idea of how you would do on the real exam. And if you cheat on the real exam you are effed in the A.
And you better leave me some Yeats comments. No one is picking up my assignment yet!

D'oh. I didn't want to leave a comment on my own blog! Let's try again.
I think a rabbit nibbled on my corkscrew hazel (Corylus avellana). With most plants, I wouldn't care; rabbits need to eat too, after all. But the hazel was expensive, and I just planted it this spring. It's more of a twisty twig than the large shrub it will grow up to be.
I think it will be all right. The rabbit didn't strip...

Fridays are overrated! I made pasta sauce and jarred 10 pints of it and then went to be before 11! Woo! Watch out, I freaking wild!
I finished Anathem. It took me a few days, but cut me some slack; it's just shy of 1000 pages, and I didn't get a good start on it until Friday afternoon.
The simplest way I can explain it is that it's a work of speculative fiction whose main theme is Platonism. That is, in the philosophy of mathematics, the school of thought which...

Where is everyone this week?
My ear still hurts like bezoomny. Perhaps if I stick a pencil in there and jam it around a bit, it will help?
Do you get enough fiber in your diet? No? Don't worry; no one does. I suspect that to get the recommended 25g a day, you would pretty much need to eat sawdust all day. I'm up to...

My class seems like it will be pretty engaging and thought provoking. Most of the women in my class are middle-aged and have a self-satisfied, smug air to them. But I usually hate everyone when I first meet them.
And then, months later, I like them.
You could always say you are too busy to fix said aunt and uncle's computer.....
you so have a book to read , after all...

Since I had nothing better to do with my evening, I went to the doctor to have my ear looked at. It turns out I don't have an ear infection. He didn't know what's causing the pain, but it is definitely not an ear infection.
So that's good, I guess. At least I won't have an untreated infection that turns into mastoiditis which leads to...

My ear hurts. I think I might have otitis externa. An external ear infection. Swimmer's ear, if you will. I don't recall swimming lately, but who knows? Anyway, it feels like there's something in my ear pressing on my eardrum, and I think it's spread to the tissue around my TMJ; my jaw is killing me too.

Twas the corset I was speaking of. The lady is quite cute. But it is the corset I adore.
The interview was, yes was, with a big oil company (I clean their messes). I just got the e-mail that said I didn't make the cut. All the stress and nothing to show for it.

It's Friday night, and I expect it to be another slow one. I know all you exciting, interesting people I usually talk to are off doing exciting, interesting things.
Nevertheless, I had something I wanted to write about. Now I can't remember what it was!
Crickets and spiders...no, I wrote about those.
Oh yes...cycling and exercise.
I'm exercising now. You may recall my complaint about...

Perhaps I will try my new boobs on him,... maybe they have magical healing powers.
And p.s.
I can't believe you don't wear a helmet while walking. Don't you value your life?

Why do you go for walks?
I read this book when I was young, so a lot of the nuances of gender and sexuality were lost on me. I'd love to hear your conclusions...in a little less than a month.
Also, I like walking too.
