I don’t remember if I saved this for myself or not yet. But I like the “don’t use a stupid name, web2.0 companies, learn to spell.” Which is not a direct quote, btw.

This song keeps questioning my readiness, then telling me I clearly can’t be ready. Really, though, I was quite ready. Over prepared even.

Ever discover a researcher whose work is so directly applicable to your own effing thesis that you should’ve been reading her 5 months ago? And then you scan your own email to see that someone actually told you about her work 5 months ago? Excuse me while I go outside and scream.

As I am approaching the end of my MFA odyssey my schedule is something like: roll out of bed. work. work. work. work. maybe eat, most likely not. work. work. work. stress out. cry. work. question…

I am so slammed with thesis and freelance projects (mostly thesis though) that I have not been able to post nearly as much work as I would like from last semester, much less anything I’ve been doing…

“When PROPER NAME isn’t blanking, you can find him/her blanking at blank.” It might be a considerable achievement of humanity if I never read another bio that contains a form of the above sentence. Also… “in a world where blank is blank. Only blank can blank blank.” We can get rid of that one too.

Damn. I thought the pathological, criminally insane, pale Norwegian guy was saying that the fortress of Satan soars, but apparently it’s the forces of Satan that storm? Or maybe he’s discussing the powerful forces of Satan’s storms? Either way, nobody gives a shit about Satan’s fortress. Pack up your tower and go home!
Also, if my thesis isn’t supposed to be the best work of my life then why am I working so hard? (I edited out the curse words.)

I kinda hate how much I enjoy Built To Spill’s Keep It Like a Secret. It’s as if I should start smoking tons of pot, wearing baseball caps and, like, become a DUDE (or as Stephen puts it a d-bag). On the other hand, having the brief amount of free time to set up transfer of my assloads of music from my old hard drive to my new hard drive is paying off nicely. Life feels more colorful now that I have more than a few gbs of music to listen to.
