is the word 'diary' better than the word 'blog'? probably not. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How I Get By. Here is where I sit, in my current glorious house-sit, writing and working, whenever I'm not four floors underground writing and working in the UCB library.
It was a hard brain-scrambling day of work, but I think I have the paper that I have to have done very soon almost done. Have to look up some cites at the library tomorrow, and make sure everything makes sense in the order in which it is presented. Ugh. And then I have to start on the next of the four papers. So sad. At least most of what I'm doing is also work towards the mythic "book" that I'm writing. Also, today I waited ALL DAY for UPS to arrive, which only accentuated my trapped-in-the-house feeling. (However, at least I wasn't trapped in the closet with R. Kelly.) Still, instant messaging is a good way to punctuate a day of work. ---------------------- 12:15 pm ---------------------- During all this time I also had an extended IM conversation with Gene about how hard he works and whether or not being told to lower your standards is a lowpoint in one's life. He tried to accuse me of wearing a beret because I am taking French, and then he called me a UPS spinster, so very long had I been awaiting the arrival of my NEW LUGGAGE. I also had a fairly lengthy but mostly informational will-we-or-will-we-not see Nacho Libre IM conversation with Evany. Evany thought we should be eating nachos while watching, while I thought that we should set the nachos libre and stick to pizza. We could have done both easily, were it not for UPS! UPS never came until 8:30 pm, which meant that Marco and Evany saw Nacho Libre without me. Which is fine, since I haven�t really wanted to see it anyway (hence CB's surprise that I was actually asking her to see it with me). I was only going to go because I had been writing all day, it was hot, and the movie was playing at the Parkway, where you can eat pizza and drink beer while watching your movie! Plus I need to get me some Evany Thomas! I am still a bit bummed that I missed out on the pizza and beer, and Evany and Marco. But maybe tomorrow I can make someone invite me over to watch Project Runway and order PIZZA AND BEER. Maybe. Because tomorrow and Thursday I am spending all day in the library, writing and what-have-you, which means that I will need PIZZA AND BEER. Tonight's tofu dog, cottage cheese, apricot, and grapefruit didn't quite cut it. 12:18 a.m. - July 26, 2006 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
