the trouble with blogging is....

when you talk to a friend you haven't spoken to in a while, but who regularly reads your blog, all your "new" stories are "old" to them.

Things to do today:
1. get "sample" dissertation bound so I can read it. Gaze longingly at it and wish it were mine. Think about putting white out on the name and seeing if the committee will fall for that trick.
2. nap-- the cat puking kept me up for three hours. But I did read dissertation work during that time, so it counts as work. Can it count as work today, or is it yesterday if it was still dark out?
3. Exercise. I bailed on exercise Tuesday, so need to workout today or else both weekend days will be workout days. Because of the rainy wet weather, I begin to feel the urge to bail today, too.
3.a. Have you ever noticed how long it takes for the microwave to cook for 8 minutes when you're starving? You go in there, and there's still 4 minutes, after what seems like HOURS of waiting. Lean Cusine Vegetable Eggroll, HURRY UP!!
4. stop blogging.
5. but there was this interesting article on NPR yesterday, on the Diane Rehm Show about writer's block (which I don't have, but a little bit of dissertation anxiety) and hypergraphia. I thought the woman (Alice Weaver Flaherty) on the show had been spying on me. Maybe she is. Maybe secretly I'm being recorded RIGHT NOW. In that case, I better take a shower. Go to the NPR link and listen to the article on "The Midnight Disease." Totally. She's watching me now.
