12:25 pm	I like my thesis and I want to do more with it, even as I'm rushing to finish my third chapter (long story) and get my shit turned in. Surely this isn't normal. (Comment on this)

12:08 am	Things I am writing my thesis (or, right now, perusing an outrageous amount of material for said thesis). The Evergreen library is apparently not open this weekend (out of spite? laziness? possibly a school break?), so I basically drove to Olympia to completely fail to see old friends, eat two bowls of Princess Flakes, apparently break the heart of this really ardent and personal Greenpeace stereotype, get lost, get frustrated, and drive back. Met a really nice hitchhiker, but was heading in the opposite direction; hoping he found his ride to Canada. There were more exciting and dramatic/cheesy and awkward good times, too, but I'm leaving those out of this comparatively public record (hi Katherine! I always like to see your comments here because I never see you due to this monster known as thesis). I'm just holding out for sunlight and travel once I graduate, and being mystified at how Evergreen kids can just close their library two weekends at the row. And shocked at just how much of my break was taken up not by thesis but by cheap wine and queer stereotypes and papers for other classes. http://humanitarianrelief.change.org/blog/view/a_handy_guide_to_what_the_hell_just_happened_in_darfur (Comment on this)

12:53 pm	Working in the IMC is good sponsored thesis working time, except for today when the sun is shining and I just want to ride my bike. (Comment on this)

4:36 pm	Addendum to Yummier Sex For You: A Paideia Class on Friday, 4-6 PM (Chapel) This class, though brought to you by Reed students, is in fact being taught by celebrated SEXUALITY COUNSELOR Anna Marti, described in a recent interview as an "erotic evangelist"--which is to say she is body-positive, sex-positive, sensuality-positive, love-positive, and hell-bent on sharing her gospel with everyone, including YOU, fair Reedies. This is both a class and a workshop: expect to come away from it with better developed tools for realizing and strengthening connection and intimacy whenever you fancy. (Comment on this)

12:26 am	A summary Caught the plague that has felled all of my housemates, got an extension on my Chaucer paper, have spent the last four days all but dead to the world, sewing, sleeping, and watching the fourth season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Am finally starting to feel better, have kickass topic and other things for Chaucer paper (write tomorrow! Due Wednesday at five, ideally written tomorrow, edited Wednesday morning, turned in by 11) and a similarly excellent topic for my French paper (due Thursday at five). Being sick--and my complete lack of previous preparation for finals--has really put me behind, but I can do it. On a related note, I am so tired of being sick. (Comment on this)

7:19 pm	Another Thanksgiving post My minivan and I are going to Spokane on Wednesday night or Thursday morning. If you need a ride to anywhere along that route (The Dalles, Kennewick, Pasco, Hermiston/Umatilla, whatever other signs I drive by) and want to split gas and save the world, e-mail me at blodgetm.

12:36 am	Man, that Quest article about Obama's race is such a played out and ridiculous idea that I thought people got over it a while ago. Guess not. It's too exhausting to have the conversation at this moment, but it looks like it's time for another round. Ugh. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:32 pm	Obama stole my charisma Not that I've ever flattered myself that I had too much charisma to begin with, but random, awkward, Mr. Magoo-esque blunders have been following me around since Tuesday night. My only conclusion is that Obama stole my charisma and ease of movement in order to secure the votes that had yet to be counted. Which is cool, I guess. He's kind of a big deal. But it's made me very awkward for the past few days. (Comment on this)

7:41 pm	Bad: I need to write a French paper on a book I only mostly read a month ago. Good: My thesis is really fucking cool (I think) and never really seems like work. Bad: I missed Daisy Hernandez last night because of house things. Good: House things, QA things, and the thesis work I did last night were probably worth it. I wrote much more than that, but to finish the thought would be to further delay productivity, so: (Comment on this)

12:28 am	It is way too early in the year for me to be this swamped and "fuck everything"-y. Activism has taken over my life and school is scrambling to keep up; simultaneously, however, I'm mostly wanting to steal the cat and walk across the border. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:56 pm	Portal+Coulton This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction. Aperture Science We do what we must because we can. For the good of all of us. Except the ones who are dead. But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake. And the Science gets done. And you make a neat gun. For the people who are still alive. (Comment on this)

12:53 am	End of junior year. This summer I'll be living with anarchists while trying my hand once more at developing faith in electoral politics. Should be interesting. (Comment on this)

12:11 am	Overwhelmed Long call from SARC tonight, making it yet another quadruple-booked night (class/QA meeting/SARC shift/dinner) where nothing got done to my satisfaction. I have things I should really write tonight for to do well in this class, but I've lost all scholastic motivation and essentially only want to do advocacy and political work. So close to the end of the year, but not close enough. On the up side, Katherine is coming down for her second Renn Fayre. And SARC went well aside from the fact that the answering service didn't realize I was on a call and kept trying to put me on other calls while I was having serious discussion about childhood SA. Which is unnerving. I just want to be able to call out-of-state friends and write and play music and do nonacademic things without feeling guilty. Can this happen? (Comment on this)

7:44 pm	I've been thinking about the student who died, and have been following the reedlj discussion while procrastinating on my qual. My initial disaproving response to the fact that folks really went through and picked subject-appropriate livejournal user icons strikes me as too harsh. How absurd, and yet natural, after all, that people would do such a thing. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:43 pm	All I've really done today is unintentionally socialize and then-- sequestered away for qual--stalk random strangers via Livejournal. I should not be using this resource. (Comment on this)
