1. Today, in class:
PROF: Blah, blah, blah, assignments due this Friday.
ME: (really LOUDLY) This Friday?
PROF & ENTIRE CLASS: (*looks at me*) um. YES.

thefourthvine has recently been posting about inanimate web 2.0 utilities that she feels are judging her, like Amazon and Netflix recs and Google ads. Right now? LIVEJOURNAL is silently judging me by being BORING when I am supposed to be doing my 11,000 assignments due at the end of the week.
3. winchesterfan.com recently posted some behind the scenes stills, and I didn't check them out because normally I don't, but then I saw one or two of them floating around and wanted to see them, but then winchesterfan.com was DOWN, which is obviously what happens when FANS HOTLINK (just say no to hotlinking), and then supernatural media is apparently no longer open? or something? and then I couldn't see them.
4. I am having a lot of trouble finding a free verse poem I want to write an essay about. I just spent two hours reading through my poetry collection (sign of ultimate nerdiness: I own (just barely) enough volumes of poetry to call it a collection. And I read them. often.) which was fun, but did not help much. Fucking... argh.
5. I have extremely irregular caps at the beginning of my sentences. I want to standardise. But some sentences just want to start with caps! and others don't.
6. We read some Gertrude Stein in class today. I read Eats, Shoots and Leaves and it quoted Gertrude Stein as hating, like, every punctuation mark ever, and I thought, naw, she can't possibly not use those. BUT SHE DOESN'T. That is a woman with character, and also many many many many many full stops.
Which seems like a good place to end.
