YOUR MOTHER WRITES ESSAYS IN HELL

I dislike spring break. Not only is it not a meaningful holiday of any sort, but teachers like to load you up with assignments beforehand with the apparent reason that they'll have plenty of time to grade them over break. That's fine for them, but I dislike it. I'm actually going to try and take two days off work this week so that I can get this done, and then make up the hours over spring break when I'll presumably have more time to fuck around with that crap.

On Monday I have a little four-pager due in my Asian revolutions in literature and film course. Also more reading for religion and ritual, but that'll be enjoyable enough to do as a break from other work. I'll also need to give a piddling little one-page response to the reading I'm theoretically to have done by Monday.

On Tuesday I feel I need to have redone a 4-page writeup on Galatians 3, as well as trying to get one done for 1 Corinthians 11 and... I dunno. 13 or something.

By Thursday I'll need to have read about half of Red Sorghum, which near as I can tell is just like every other literature about Asian peasants in which terrible things happen because of foreign people but beyond that no one knows how or why. Great!

On Friday I have a five-pager due on the past readings in religion and ritual (including the book we're currently working on). I also need to submit a draft of my honors thesis to my advisor so that she can give me some feedback on it before drafts are actually due directly after break.

On the up-side, went to a workshop this weekend that was fairly interesting. Walked away with some bitchin' raspberry yogurt and a new friend and several journal pages full of woo to share with you guys once I get the time/motivation/tapas to post it.

Tomorrow we begin. I wake up at 10:30 (still nothing to sneeze at considering today was 7:45), do the food and shower thing. Then my little piddling one-page response as a warm-up. Then my four-pager for Asian revolutions. Then do some reading for religion and ritual as a break.

Food goes in here somewhere.

Then maybe I'll type a rant about something in 1 Corinthians to turn into a blog post. I have no fucking clue where I'm going to find a Biblical commentary that'll be useful enough, but I'm so tempted to just throw out all this Paul and the early church crap for this week and do it over break. I don't want to write twelve pages of shit this week, not if I have to draw from Biblical commentaries that'll first have to be tracked down at our library or (eep) the Christian Theological Seminary. So we'll stick to a rant about spousal metaphors to describe God's relationship with Israel.

After my four-pager... maybe I'll have heard from EE on some thesis info, and I'll be able to make some progress there. That should be a sufficient dent in my workload to call tomorrow good. Read some Dracula, think about my foodways paper while everything's still nice and leisurely... who knows.

This is all noted mostly for my own reference, but I also want to use this space to apologize to anyone with whom I've been short over the last couple of days. With my schoolwork it never rains without pouring, it seems. Weeks of nothing but laidback class discussion and online roleplaying and then suddenly HOSHIT stuff.

Brian also has clusters this week.

So yeah. We bought a lot of booze today. I expect it to be gone by this time next week.

There has definitely been a breakdown in discipline aboard this vessel.

I blame the fish-people.

Not Jesus. Also not Morpheus?

Click me.

I saw this linked here, and thought it was pretty damned awesome. Granted, Hillary's not quite as apocalyptically bad as McCain or Huckabee, but I can't help but enjoy this image. It's clever, it pokes her in the eye for playing dirty, and arouses a streak of Sandman-fangirl glee in me. However, lest I be unfairly excited about this, I'll reproduce one of the comments on Gaiman's journal from creatingmyths.

I like Obama and would definitely vote for him based on his platform on many issues, but even I have to admit that how the media and people inspired by the media (as the maker of the above macro) are shitheads for demonizing Hilary. This macro just casts the candidates in adverse (pardon the pun) black-and-white roles, ignoring the similarities that both the Obama and Clinton campaigns have in common. In the end, I think things like this are ultimately disrespectful to both Clinton and Obama. For one, it casts them into certain roles and overly simplifies them, and for another, it degrades the Democrat presidential candidacy into a "fight" between "good and evil". Thirdly, in regards to The Sandman, it completely ignores Morpheus' stance as a morally ambiguous protagonist.

Evidently it originates from the SomethingAwful forums (hearkening back to Priam's hypothesis that the internet is actually ruled by 4chan and SA), but I really wish I knew who made it so that I could credit him/her.
