READING: writing your dissertation in fifteen minutes a day by joan bolker (seriously; a girl can dream, right?). also my endnote manual. i've figured out some cool shit i can do with endnote, but have also run into limitations that may prove annoying. i'm still bashing my forehead against kim stanley robinson's blue mars. it's not that the book isn't interesting, it's just that it's insanely long and uses some kind of microprint font. it wears me out. i fall asleep. but i love the character of nirgal. i also believe that hiroko survived and that nirgal will find her someday. robinson may leave the question open, though. we'll see. i have about 300 pages to go...

WEARING: jeans, no shoes, and a blue t-shirt that says "talk nerdy to me" on it. i had the shirt made for me at b-bam! on capitol hill. i stole the saying from a former student's self-made t-shirt. his was way cooler than mine. it was bright green with black velvet iron-on letters. the shirt itself (mine) is somewhat tight, so i may end up changing into a different shirt before i go out this evening.

PLANNING: going to [livejournal.com profile] glaucon's pre-bumbershoot gathering at the ballroom in fremont this evening at 6pm (he swears that the ballroom doesn't start sucking until 8). i am not, however, going to bumbershoot itself. i was originally planning to go tomorrow (saturday), but i cannot afford... instead, i am probably going to do some writing; there has been talk of a camping trip, but i'm not sure that will materialize; if it doesn't, i will probably spend a day over at my friend L's house helping her with some yard work; and on tuesday night i leave for grand rapids (michigan) to visit my family. i'll be there until the 16th.

that's all i got today. whoooooooooo-dawg! i must be pms'ing, because i am cranky as fuck-all! i think i'm projecting more of a flat affect, though; i.e. i may only be cranky on the inside. now i'm going to go do something else, and hopefully it will help to improve my mood. i think it will involve consuming a large, caffeinated beverage while poring over, and trying to bring order to, my notes from the bodyworlds exhibit i attended earlier this week. i'm leaning away from my typical straight-up french press homebrew in favor of something froofy and made-to-order like an iced almond latte... that would be good. i should go out.

over.
