Not that's the takeaway from your post. He'll be just fine, kat. This won't occupy any time in therapy, really.

HA! Of course he will. My babies are destined for therapy.

The Chile pictures are lovely.

Okay, I'm having a thesis dilemma. I took a year long leave of absence last spring. I've finished my coursework. My original thesis was going to be on early modern cookbooks and women's literacy. But the thing is, I kind of don't care about the topic anymore. I have lots of the research done, but I can't remember what I wanted to write about.

Or I could change my topic and write something about infertility, including a project I have been working on. This would require all new research as well permission for interviews etc. And I'd probably have to change advisors from my current (early modern lit guy).

Thoughts?

Yeah, I will give her the benefit of the doubt - but conditionally. If she doesn't issue a clarification pretty soon, her benefit of the doubt expires.

yeah, I'd knock and walk in and say "sorry, but I'm gonna be late" and then switch my bathing routine to night and possibly keep a toothbrush at the kitchen sink (I already keep one at work). I kinda hated living with other people.

Well, I set my work hours so that I could have my mornings to myself. As I said, normally, I'm out of the house before he's awake. Of course, even though he's not up, I try to spend only 5 minutes or so in the bathroom (since I shower in the evening after my walks).

I'm also pissed because I really would like my own place, but can't afford it, and had basically decided that, as roommates go, he's pretty good so what do I have to complain about, you know?

I'm very glad we have two bathrooms (actually three but I sort of forget about the basement one), my daughter already can spend an ungodly amount of time in the bathroom come bath time.

Let's just say that I'm very glad I have mouthwash at my desk, and that for some reason we have a toilet in a closet in the basement.

I am a person who wants to do as little as possible to get the end result I want. I would look through old notes and see if I could figure out the path I saw for the previous project and hammer it out.

What a shitweasel, Allyson.

I think it was incredibly ineptly said, but not anything all that controversial if she hadn't fucked it up. She does pull bigger numbers than Obama among working class white voters - no argument there. Now, the idea that you can in any way translate primary voting patterns with general election voting patterns is a crock. And given her campaign's history to this point with racial signifiers, she needs to be a fuck of a lot more careful with her language. But I don't think there's anything substantive to it, and I hope the Obama camp doesn't take the bait and make it something.

shitweasel

I have no need to comment, that word sums it up better than any combination of words I could come up with.

I'd say change topics because it sounds like that's what you want to do.

Here's the issue, msbelle, I have and I can't. I mean, I remember that I procrastinated for over 18 months and I still haven't figured out what I want the four page proposal to say.

Is that a sign to move on to something new?

The infertility stuff... I can do a "creative project" + a shorter paper for my thesis and I can use the 40+ pages I already have written as the creative project. But then I need to figure out the original research bit and incorporate that.

Now, what Allyson's landlord said gets no such leeway from me. Fuckhead.

Allyson, how much was your deposit?
