I have written about 3 pages this past 40 minutes
That's impressive.
What's the short paper about? Did you finish all the papers you had to do during THanksgiving (I hadn't posted with you since)?
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy Birthday Amych!!!
ION, a Slate article that makes fun of the "Left Behind" movies - for their low-budgetness:
In Left Behind 2: Tribulation Force, for example, Kirk Cameron has to take Ben Judah, a respected rabbi, to the Wailing Wall so that he can tell Jews everywhere that Jesus Christ is Lord. Israel is represented by a few stone walls obviously made of plywood, some Christmas-tree lights, and 500 volunteer extras wearing leftover costumes from a Nativity pageant. The Wailing Wall is patrolled by soldiers dressed in World War II army uniforms. The producers have also dubbed in the sound of goats during scenes set in downtown Jerusalem, which leads to the unusual notion that modern-day Israel is populated by WWII re-enactors, nervous-looking people in bathrobes, and goats.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Many Happy Returns of the Day, Amych!
I almost typed re-runs, but I think we've all seen that episode, and while it is usually entertaining, not something I'd wish on someone I liked.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Amych!
The Christine Lavin show last night was fun.(How could a show that ends with glow-in-the-dark baton twirling =not= be fun?)

Happy Birthday, Amych!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Timelies, all! Thanks for the birthday wishes!
So far, birthday highlights are coffee, purring snuggly cat, and several sudoku.

Nilly, I haven't finished them!
In fact, the paper I just finished is the one on the culture of fear and democracy (and I threw in capitalism for a giggle).
I have one short paper to go and a plethora of topics from which to choose. I could write about anti-semitism, stastics of violence vs. perceptions of it, the movie Bowling for Columbine, Freeway shootings, reality tv as a proponent of fear.
I think I'm going to copy and paste in my mid term and shape that instead of writing something new. There is a question for this paper that is directly related to something else I've already written. So if I shape it, then I can be finished. Woudln't that be exciting?
OH! But writing about reality tv would be EASY. Even though if I did Bowling for Columbine, I have about 2 pages already written including the movie review I wrote for this class already.
Decisions, decisions.

How will you celebrate? You'd deserve some sort of celebration.

How easy would it be to write the rest of the number of pages you need for the paper?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Good morning, people.
Happy birthday, amych!

Well, the question is NOT exactly the same, so it would require going back and reshaping. And frankly, that seems more of a pain in the butt than just plowing ahead on a different topic. In some ways, writing something NEW would be, at least, more interesting in the short term and possibly filled with more learning.
Ugh. I don't want to learn right now. I want to breakfast and shop and decorate our christmas tree.
