A Facebook friend posted on zir wall:

"Hey beautiful, is your name "Studying for Finals?" Because I should probably be doing you."

I smiled, laughed, and clicked like. Then, later, I came back and added:

"You know, I bet that's a pretty good pickup line in some contexts."

Distractable Dog is Distractable

I could concentrate harder on doing these citations.

Or I could play songs from the Rock Band game soundtrack and play air drums. I will neither confirm nor deny that I'm thrashing an imaginary kit while listening to Coheed and Cambria's "Welcome Home" on my headphones....

But I *will* note that I have both my spine *and* my orange crush.

One More Down

I'm basically done with this paper. I don't like it that much. I felt like I had a larger and more varied collection of references until I had Zotero put the bibliography together. but I still have a Powerpoint to make for tomorrow and, maybe, a nap to take. So there it is.

Poems

I'd seen the first poem on this page before, but despite how much I liked it, I never followed up and looked for more information about its writer. A mention on a Facebook friend's page brought her to mind. I like just about everything she's written (or at least everything on this page) a lot more than I've liked new poetry in a long time.

In fact, it makes me feel bad to have seen her work shared around without attribution, and without seeking it. Everybody deserves credit for their words. And while this is no more true for a master poet than it is for an academic, a novelist, or a child writing zir first stories, reading something that moves me in this way makes me more conscious of that importance.

I'm tired. Going to bed soon. Stuff's basically done. I should email it.

Have a dog picture. I really miss him.

And I almost sent my paper in with several paranthetical notations to myself still in the text. Glad I stopped and went over it again, despite my tried brain telling me to relax and go to bed.
