Why I read TWOP to procrastinate...
From a Lost recap...(no spoilers!)
Corvette yells, "Razzle dazzle!" and kicks the gun out of his hand. "Razzle dazzle"? Is that like when Jem and the Holograms would yell "Synergy!"?
Jem and the Holograms? When I was 5, I had this awesome Jem doll with pink hair that came out when you twisted her arm repeatedly. I applaud random references.
In the "what's going on in my real life" category, I'm 2 pages and LOTS of editing away from finishing my paper. I had forgotten how absolutely luxurious it is to have a whole weekend to spend on ONE paper, rather than say, 3 papers, 10 books, 20 articles, and 3 meetings. I'm actually thinking my dissertation might not be so bad. I'm presenting it (the paper, not the dissertation) at a conference next weekend, which I'm oh-so-nervous about. I'm hoping my super keen powerpoint will distract from the fact that the paper is a bit shallow. I should have proposed a paper based on my MA thesis, but nooo, I had to go and pick an entirely unrelated and controversial topic. (bluegrass and politics) I'll be happy for it to be over. The weekend after that is Spring Weekend (undergrads party, I work), then the next weekend is Merlefest (woo hoo!).
