sundays are painful
i set up my PC in my room finally, mostly so I could listen to Shakira. I found this file from two years ago during conference season that cracked me up, but at the time I thought it was too embarrassing to actually post. And, as I stayed up til 6am yesterday and got up at 10, and will probably be staying up Monday and Tuesday as well, I thought the timing would be appropriate.
*******************************************************************
Time line of events for my all-nighter (as told through away messages):
“i'll be giving you all detailed updates on my progress (digress??) as i stay up all night doing work. (check back every few seconds! that's how often i'll be updating!):”
9:08pm: just drew sprinkles on the cupcakes i painted on my wall at 7pm.
9:14pm: just painted over sprinkles on one because they were too close together. maybe i'll do a little work while i wait for it to dry!
10:22pm: finished my ECC journal. have to pee, but won't tinkle until I draw the sprinkles!
11:56pm: have corrected the first page of conference paper. Have eaten 3 cupcakes, 1/3 a bag of popcorn, a handful of peanuts, 2 red hot blue corn chips, and a pita with hummus. Am in the film-editing room of the visual arts building. Had to change screensaver on keidera’s computer to come on every 10 minutes instead of every minute, because it kept coming on. (clearly, I spend a lot of time sitting staring at the screen.)
12:28am: discovered new excellent lil kim song - “Big Mama Thang”
12:65am: took Michael Jackson dance break. While looking at my bright yellow socks, I began having a crisis over forgetting what a duck’s feet are called. “waddlers” is my favorite one that I came up with, but I know that’s not what they’re really called. Fuck! Mouth is to bill as foot is to ____....WHAT THE EFF?!??!??!?!
2:50am: back in room. 8 pages done.
2:52am: in re-reading this away message, realized i logged something at "12:65am". it's going to be a long night.
3:15am: just now opened my paper on my computer, have been talking on AIM whole time
3:41am: just now actually started LOOKING AT my paper.
4:32am: actually stop talking on aim and start concentrating on paper. Am starting to sweat a lot
4:37am: can hear birds start to chirp. Want to rip their heads off with my teeth and paint cupcakes on my walls with their blood!
5:33am: it’s getting light outside! 3 more pages to go! About to eat the cupcakes off the wall!
5:55am: realize i don't know how to spell Scheherazade's sister's name. realize Ogunyemi will probably refuse to read my paper if I misspell it. Gulp.
6:41am: PAPER FINISHED!!!!! Don’t think I’ll allow myself to urinate until the bibliography is also done, though.
7:07am: just finished tediously changing each footnote to an end note. Waiting for paper to print again. This log has lost any and all fun it may have possessed when it started.
7:27am: abruptly stopped reading livejournal - I DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE I WAS DOING IT!
7:43am: time to leak the lizard!!!
7:45am: while peeing, an ant crawled OUT of the toilet and moseyed about, just inches from my helpless inner thigh!
8:38am: finished art project and presentation for Lorayne’s class!! Done all work due tomorrow!! Should I sleep now, or bake coffee cake??
9:20am: might as well take a shower
9:41am: i'll just watch the shawshank redemption naked for a little
10:53am: tom called and told me a hilarious story
10:55am: leave for class
…..
6:27pm: still haven’t slept!!!!
