It was the very gothiness of her today, what with the screaming corndog and the bugs of death. I may keep her for a while if she stays in bed this time.

Next time, though, there's a big computer box in the basement. A couple of holes and bada bing, bada boom, Kara's your punkin.

So, please talk to me about something so I will stop looking up cases of stillbirth due to umbilical cord knots.

Anyone doing anything interesting?

I'm turning my final essay into "How to Make an Appalachian Quilt." It's probably only interesting to me, but...I'm willing to talk about it if it'll get you to stop looking that up!

yeah, i came across a post on another board that I should have just skipped.

So, is an appalachian quilt different from another one?

No. I don't think so. It's just that this is for my Mountain Tales class, so it's gonna be Appalachian. And I'm not really gonna talk much about quilting. I'm just going to assign each step to one of my points. I think it'll work and be kind of cool...show how my thesis is "built."

It sounds pretty cool.

It also sounds like you have done a ton of work today. When are you done with finals/paper writing/etc?

Who knows...it may end up being crap. But, I'm trying to be creative and make an impression on the prof, so I get a good grade. We'll see...

I have! And I even took a break to have dinner with a friend. I've just been plowing through stuff today.

My last assignment is due on Friday, but I'm trying to get everything done by Tuesday, 'cause I'm on campus that day for a final. If I don't have to go back on Friday, that'd be nice. But, I'm also not going to push myself. If I need more time, I'll take it.

I hope you get it done, but I'm glad you are not killing yourself. That's sort of my philosophy too - I'm trying hard to get ahead, but if it doesn't happen, I'll be okay.

I think I'm going to go get myself some ice cream and watch this week's Alias. Maybe if I put the computer down, I'll stop worrying. I know it's pointless - maybe the pretty people on Alias will distract me.

Exactly.

This week's Alias was good, so enjoy!

I haven't seen this week's alias yet either.

I meant to say earlier, Stephanie, go you with the getting the studying done earlier in the day. I know that was frustrating you. Having to study is also a good way to get out of engagements you don't want to... err engage in. "Sorry, studying for the bar, can't come over and have you be rude to me and feed me cold food."

vw, insent.

I think I'm going to play a little. Today I have edited a bunch, taken dictation over the phone, dealt with pure, unadulterated evil and re-arranged my living room. I think I deserve a break.
