Uppity--to-the-date

So, it's week um. Eight. Of the semester. I think. Which means halfway through. Which means...I'm behind on grading. This isn't really a surprise, since I'm always behind on grading, since I hate to do it. This semester I'm teaching all business writing, which is sucking my soul a little more each passing day. Hence the need for...

Retail Therapy:

  • New Winter Coat. Purchased off of ebay because I can't find anything in the entire town that I liked enough to spend money on. Will post pics when I get.
  • New Boots. I have an extremely wide calf (19-20" circumference) so nothing local will fit me. I found some gorgeous boots here that were everything I wanted--black, low heel, pointy toe--so I'm happy, and waiting for them to show up.

Basically, these are rewards in advance for what I have to do this week, which is:

  • Finish Conference Paper #1 to be sent to Ridiculously Famous Person who agreed to be the panel Respondent
  • Finish Conference Paper #2 to be presented to my comics reading group next Monday before the conference next Friday

Motivation, I do not have. I sort of wish I could skip both.

In other happy news, Simon Pegg was posting snippets of bad Hot Fuzz fanfiction to his Twitter today. Personally, I think Shawn of the Dead is much slashier.
