I wrote a stream of consciousness paper for a high school English teacher. He got all worked up and went on at great length about Joyce, but really I was just pulling his chain and being lazy about my writing assignment.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Would the prof accept a paper written in stream of consciousness?
If you're writing a paper on Hunter S. Thompson, the answer is yes, the professor will.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
24 hours from now, I will be on vacation, and madly packing.
48 hours from now, I will be in Vegas, and madly drinking, gambling, and people watching. Or maybe madly asleep. Definitely in Vegas though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So have we noted that it's Willow v. Xander this season?
How I Met Your Mother is on at the same time as Kitchen Confidential.
They're both getting decent reviews.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

One of the very few papers I managed to actually finish and turn in on time during my year of slow-motion emotional meltdown (88-89, junior year) was an 8-page stream-of-consciousness free verse response to Eliot's "The Hollow Men," in which I pastiched everyone from Shakespeare to Dickinson to Stephen King. Fortunately, the professor graded his papers in alphabetical order by the students' last names, so by the time he got to me he'd already slogged through 160 pages of solemn bloviation by everyone else, and I ended up getting an A+++ (apparently, in England in 1989, they were allowed to give out grades like that) and a note of earnest gratitude from him. But, really, I so should have gotten my own head back on a platter. I mean, really. Emily Dickinson and Stephen King? @@

Art Crawl!!!
I've seen many ads for Willows new show -- I don't know -- it doesn't look that great. So, I'm putting my hopes in the Xander/Will show.
Hmmm. Xander/Will. . . .

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I have no idea what YAGE stands for. Yet Another Grody Episode?

So and So has uncloaked her sockpuppet and announced "this fandom is too mean, I'm taking my fic and going home."

Ah. Well, that's... not surprising, really.
