I'm Procrastinating

Well... there's only so many cigarettes one can smoke before he realizes that it is time to work.

I have a paper due tomorrow. The paper is supposed to talk about either race or gender related things in a specific piece of children's literature.

I really hate this type of topic. I feel as if I'm supposed to say "The white man is so evil. We are all sexist, racist, bastards. We should apologize to the world for existing... blah blah blah..."

I know that is not what is required for this paper... it's just that every time the topic of race or gender comes up I feel that is the type of response the professor is looking for.

I've got very little work (practically none) done for this paper. Thankfully, I only need two sources and only 2000 words. I should have no problem kicking this out before I go to bed. We shall see.

Like I said... I'm procrastinating... so I will continue to type until I finally decide to start working on the paper.

Our house is freezing right now. I absolutely loathe cold weather. (My brother does not. He's a freakin' Eskimo) I purchased an electric blanket the other day. That was by far the best $30 I've ever wasted.

I would have just turned on the heater... but I was informed by 2 of the three upstairs roommates that it is much hotter upstairs than it is downstairs. Therefore, I didn't want to turn the heater on and make the rest of the roommates suffer (besides, I was the only one complaining about how cold it was/is). That is the reason for the purchase of the electric blanket.

The first night under the blanket... ahh... it was like climbing into my own personal oven. I baked all night. It was by far the best sleep I've had in quite some time.


The semester is almost over. (Praise be to God!) This semester has been a royal pain in the ass. I haven't been this stressed out since my last year in the Marines. However, next semester looks promising. I think I'll enjoy those classes much more than the ones taken this semester. I don't know why I thought taking two literature classes in the same semester was a good idea... it was not.

I was just about to take a picture of Dübeee... but the batteries in my camera died just as I was zooming in on her. She's asleep on her back... legs sprawled out in four directions... and she has her stuffed pig in her mouth. I love this dog.

I need to go Christmas shopping... but that's going to have to wait until I get home... which will give me a total of 5 days to get everything for everyone. Thankfully I know what I'm going to get... so it shouldn't take any longer than one good day of shopping.

I'm thinking of changing the background of my blog again... I like the red satin... but I want something else. However, I do not know what I want to change it to. I'm thinking of black bathroom tile... which I may do in a moment... but I still want something different. If any of you can find a cool tile to throw in the background... if I like it... I'll use it. Just email the picture to me.

And now... I think it's time for one more cigarette... then the paper. (and modifying the blog a bit more... and other types of procrastinating)
