cree-py
charlotte has chosen to be particularly creative with her poses today. she hunkers down in an 'i will descend upon you, lowly mortal" position, and turns her head so that the light reflects from her eyes in lurid green. for some reason, today this either has been happening more often, or has been more noticeable to me. hmmm. is she plotting something?
and yes, this is a waste of time on my part. every once in a while, i think i'm entitled to one.
didn't make the 8 am meeting today. looked up from my writing to see the clock, and saw that it was already 15 till. since there was no way i could get to campus in time, i opted to simply keep writing. came to a stopping place about 10, and napped until 2. then up to campus for a few hours of work and a roll of quarters.
sr, you'd be ashamed. i'm sitting here in my last clean pair of socks, with only three shirts left in my closet [frilly sleeveless numbers, no less!]. got plenty of underwear, since i bought replacements for all my worn out pairs. but still. the options were getting slim. and i had only two quarters to rub together. not enough for anything.
but, after some judicious collecting of dimes, i found the 10 dollars to take to the campus bank. now my weekend activities get to include exercise in the form of laundry. i'm actually excited. with this many quarters, i can clean all my clothes, and even my towels and sheets. i've had a load of them sitting forlornly in the corner for a while, and i just keep adding to it. don't have many towels or sheets waiting in the wings to replace the ones currently gracing the apt.
i figure, laundry will be my reward for knocking out z's final. gives me incentive to do that tonight and maybe sleep for keeps. if i can just write 5 more pages of passable crap, i can sleep. and then i can wake up to laundry day in dirt town. maybe spend part of my day knitting between loads, since i can't do much writing with all the distracting trips around the building.
then it will be the last final and a paper. then the bliss of the academic void.
have had to zero out several students' grades on some papers. when the things get flagged for being essentially the same assignment repeated a second time, i have to go in and find out how many others "match" and zero out all but the first iteration. it's a real pisser for all involved. i expect tons of irrate student mail.
have wanted to watch highlander for some reason. nothing like the ongoing house obsession, but still a desire to rent the thing. it will have to wait. no time for corny 80s b movies until the work is done. still, the franchise's lack of consistancy is intriguing to me, what with no three films going together, and two or so serial spin offs that have nothing to do with each other... oh, the possibilities if such a concept were applied to a series of novels [all written by the same author, not like the dragonlance or forgetten realms novels, where the setting is the same and novels are all unique, or the star wars series, where everything more or less plays together, or the dc/marvel universe, where... okay, i'll stop]. but the idea that part one of a novel can have only a little relation to part two, and that part three can have the same type of relation to part one, but share nothing at all with part two, and that part four can be a direct follower of part one, but bear no similarities with parts two and three... hmm.
damn the lack of time to explore concepts that actually interest me. back to [subject obscurred to protect this blogger [and because of course i find all these classes to be of immense interest and value in my life as a creative writer]].
love and peace
