birthday, with utterly meaningless german horoscope

Tuesday 30 March 2010 | 3 cookies in the jar

Holiday! *** Happy birthday! Today the Sun returns to the position it was in when you were born. As would seem appropriate with this transit, today is a day of new beginnings, and the influences you feel today will affect the entire year to come. However, this does not mean that the whole year will [...]

scraggly

Thursday 25 March 2010 | 12 cookies in the jar

pretty much describes the state of my soul right now. Also my hair. And my sweatpants, which even Pyewacket sniffs at with suspicion. But I don’t much care, because I just ptinred <—ahem printed out the 85-page thesis (to be publicly defended four days WEEKS, sorry, from today) and it looks, well, actually it looks [...]

Tuesday 23 March 2010 | 7 cookies in the jar

On the one hand, BOO on the Other Grad School for not taking me, and instead accepting THREE BOY POETS over me. (All of whom, of course, in our uncertain economic climate, accepted the offers.)

Painkiller makes overpowered with sleepy. Hungover from: nine days of cheerfully pretending I don’t have thesis and 80+ papers ungraded: hungover from: great natural [...]

entitled snowflakes

Friday 12 March 2010 | someone left a cookie

This is my new favorite blog, and I came across it via this, my new favorite post, which the Brujo sent me. The picture says everything. I half-think it was taken in the industrial, thirty-stall women’s bathroom across from the classrooms where I teach M/W/F. And I swear I’ve received that email before, too. I [...]

comps: i haz wrote them

Thursday 11 March 2010 | I like a cookie

And I managed to use beefcake pictures of Uncle Ezra AND Walt, ha ha, I win! In the end my “answers” to the three exam questions (which questions of course I parsed and haggled over and negotiated and disagreed with at their very core and defiantly refused to answer in the terms in which they [...]
