Ye olde cribbing-post

It's strange how having a day off just once in a while can make you remember how out of touch you are with the rest of your life. Or in my case, the endless mash of spanishclassfrenchim goingtofailmyMAandwork that I seem to be staring at for the next three weeks.

Ah, for a pensieve.

In this precious space of 24 hours I have away from that place, I'm supposed to churn out insane amounts of thoughful, opinionated, well researched essays for my MA exams coming up in just ten days.

I can manage opinionated. The rest I don't know about, considering that after two weeks of working continuously, I feel like I've been lobotomised. It seems strange, but after thinking all the time (or at least trying to), I just want to stop and do nothing. Looks like that's not going to happen for a while.

Hamster, thy treadmill awaits thee...

I suggest heroin.

It worked for Auldous Huxley.

i thank thee for thy suggestion, francis, it will be considered.

Though i think it's going to eventually be wine and indecent amounts of cheesecake.

dear god my imagination is dead.

make sure eventually is soon though, for a wise skeptic once mentioned, fine wine 'eventually' turns to vinegar...
