I'm on?

Fri, 8:41 PM

I'm going to get my butt kicked by work next week. 5 days in a row! Can you believe it? Jeez, man!

A blog a day. It's harder to fit this in than I thought. Today, I went to class from 8 am to 11 am. Then I got some food, watched some 30 Rock, and fell asleep from 1 pm to 6 pm. Then I watched 30 Rock some more. And I think I'm going to a party tonight. Whoo. I think I'm apathetic towards parties. I go because I like to hang out with people from work when we're not at work, but it seems like the only time I see them out of work is during parties. Maybe I should make more of an effort to go to places with them, so that they'll cease to be coworkers in my mind, and I can start calling them friends, like normal people do.

Speaking of parties, I'm finding myself becoming resolutely apathetic about them. I get drunk off cheap beer, talk to some people, and then fall asleep. Awesome. Which is why if I did it every single day I'd probably get straight up sick of it! Small dosages are nice because they allow us to enjoy things much more deeply. With partying I should keep it in super-low doses. It's cathartic to allow myself that release but I still can't shake off that vague, guilty feeling I have the next morning.

I attended both of my English classes today. The first instructor, for the novel-concentrated class, is this pretty cool grad-school student who did his undergrad at some hippie commune college. In his words, he "didn't have a major, but I guess it was literary analysis." The second class, which concentrates on poetry, is taught by a grad-school student who stresses her syllables on every last word of her sentences. She lets those last words roll, as if she's unreeling them to entrance her students. I think she's trying too hard to keep our attention. If you get her into a more conversational mood she's quite perky. She kind of looks/acts like Liz Lemon from... 30 Rock.

I marathoned two seasons of 30 Rock in one week! Sheesh, what's wrong with me. It's a really good show though, and wikipedia and just about every google search could tell you what it's about. What, you want to hear it from me? Fine, jeez. It's about Liz Lemon, this writer for this live-television show and her misadventures with the CEO of NBC, her boss Jack Donaghy. She eats too much, is nerdy, quirky, and absolutely adorable. I've been watching it way too much, and I need to stop watching it soon so I have enough minutes in the day to do homework and stuff. I got a buttload of reading to do! And, my classes are paper-heavy, but no finals mean win.

I keep forgetting about this as a daily obligation. I'll be sitting on my butt in front of this computer staring at the monitor, and suddenly I hear a whisper in my ear: "blog post!" And then I write something frantically just to get it done. When it becomes a job for me to do, I guess I put down any old thing. That's bad, isn't it? It's quite insincere.

That's about it for now. With the upcoming weekend I'll probably roll a good one or two in.
