NOTHING CAN DEFEAT THE PENIS!

Okay, so not exactly appropriate to vw's sitch, but it brings on the laughing.

You are SWELL.

NOTHING CAN DEFEAT THE PENIS!

Nice segue.

vw, I think ChiKat just called you a dick!

vw, what has you feeling defeated, baby?

Just SO much to do. I'd feel a little better if these incompletes were done, but the one I'm working on is just taking me so much longer than I had anticipated, and it's got me frustrated. I need to let it go, but I also need to just get it done. I ran into the prof today, and I promised her I'd e-mail it by Wednesday.

But, I also have a critical response and a series of four rhymed haikus due on Wednesday...plus about 200 pages to read of The Dollmaker.

Plus, I'm already obsessing about the last incomplete I need to finish. Really, the scope of the project is WAY bigger than what it should be, and I get overwhelmed even thinking about trying to bring it down. This needs to just wait till I get to it, but when I start getting overwhelmed, it's hard to put things in boxes and set them aside. I just stack 'em all up to make it worse. At least I know this.

Both of you are pretty much academic stars, if one looks at your work objectively, and I am sure your profs love having you in class.

Thank you, Robin. I know at least one of my profs really likes me and my work already, so that does help.

Yes it did! Thank you :)

Maybe if you break it into chunks? The last incomplete needs to go on the back burner until this project and the poems are done.

Write it down, and put the piece of paper in a cupboard, one over/near the stove, if possible--or maybe in the freezer. I'm serious. Think of it as putting in on a back burner.

Give yourself permission to get a B on the paper you're working on, now. Then sit down, and finish a B paper. Do you want to talk through your premise. I know it's about message boards, and that you surveyed Bronzers and Buffistas. Did you get enough reponses? What is the main idea you're trying to convey?

Ack! No! Did not!

Well, I'm impatient, so I've just downloaded a couple of the songs from iTunes. Unfortunately, no "Ain't No Ash Will Burn", which chaps my ass, cause it's my favorite.

(Just trying to make the bug laugh. If I really wanted to start shit, I would have said you just called her a Cheney).

Ohhhh...them's is fightin' words.

Oh, I have (given myself permission for a B). I just want to get it done. And actually, earlier today I put in all the quotes from the book I want to use. I only need 700 more words for the paper to be finished. So, basically, I just need to fill in those 700 words. I should be easy peasy. I've got my thesis and everything hard done... Yet, it's not done.

And actually, this isn't the paper on message boards. That's the one where I think the scope is too big and needs to go on the back burner. Emily's working on part of it right now, and when she's done with her part, then hopefully I'll be ready to attack it.

Ack! No! Did not!

Hee!
