My day has been utterly tedious, so I feel the need to turn to the internet to validate my existence. Here goes:

Woke up, blessedly free of the falling-down dizziness that plagued me half of yesterday (no, I was neither drunk nor hung over). Got up and had my usual breakfast of Special K and Mountain Dew (peanut gallery is welcome to shove it; yes, I know that's gross, and I don't need to be told again). Began reading Joyce. I'd planned not to finish Ulysses and just fake it in class discussion, which is what I've been doing for years anyway, because I needed the time to devote to Southern lit research. However, the prof has rigged it so that finishing the novel is unavoidable. I hate these professors with teaching experience. He knows we're all way behind in the reading and apparently guessed what most of us would try to pull. Hmmph. If I wanna slack, I should be allowed to slack. [I'm feeling toddlerish. So sue me] Anyway, that's been most of my day, except for that wild 'n' wacky interlude in which I took out the trash. Oh, and I vacuumed the bathroom, Jake have liberally scattered his kitty litter (there are a frightening number of non-commerical sites about kitty litter out there, though this one doesn't top the kitty litter cam, which can be found on the 11/10/02 posting).

Yeah. That about covers it. This grad school existence is a wild thang (I did go out to dinner with a group last night, which lasted for three hours, but by that time the vertigo or whatever it is was kicking in, and I didn't have a great time). In case you haven't noticed, yes, I'm depressed. And I'm gonna whine about it in a public forum, because I can. It's my blog-gy, and I'll cry if I want to.

Ok, that was really sad. I think I should go take a shower before I return to the glories of episode 16, which I'm skimming because we're supposedly focusing on 15, 17, and 18.
