I've also got to write my dissertation. And write 100 cover letters. (Well, I've got two basic forms, with one paragraph that I'm writing differently for each one.) I'm trying really hard to keep my stress level manageable.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I was looking at a recpie for Tarte a L'Oignon the other day and thinking "man this is a lot of work." Then I realized that store bought pie crust would take care of the first twelve steps or so. It's not cheating, it's conservation of time and energy.
The basic quiche recipe I use is an Alton Brown one, and he uses a frozen pie crust, so I have no qualms about doing the same.

I need to get out my copy. I have both onions and goat cheese. And crusts in my freezer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Deep breaths, Hil. I know it's hard to be talked out of freaking out, but you're fine. You're totally competent, and you can handle this.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Calm~ma to you Hil.
Yes, this. So very this.

My advisor told me that he's worried about me writing a dissertation because he doesn't think my writing is good enough. We were going over a rough draft of something I'd written. He pointed at a word and said it was the wrong word to use there. I looked at it and agreed that it was the wrong word. I came up with a way to rephrase the sentence. I wanted to get on to the actual content of the paper. The content is the hard part that I want help on. Once I've gotten all the ideas I need onto the paper, I can go back and edit the way I wrote it. That's the easy part. But I ask for content help, and he tells me that he doesn't understand why I can't see that what I've written is written badly. Or, I even specifically ask "I don't think this is phrased well, but I can't think of a better way to phrase it -- do you have any suggestions?" And he replies by telling me that it's phrased badly.

Your advisor has the problem, not you. Really, "advisor" sounds like a misnomer. He's not helpful, he's not responsive, and you can't get in touch with him.
