I should be writing my 20 page essay test for Family Relationship and Gender Roles.
What am I actually doing?
Re-reading Lorrie Moore and finding new music on myspace. Aren't you supposed to learn time management by the time you graduate? I wonder if they'll take away my diploma.
"What makes humans human is precisely that they do not know the future. That is why they do the fateful and amusing things they do: who can say how anything will turn out? Therein lies the only hope for redemption, discovery, and--let's be frank--fun, fun, fun! There might be things people will get away with. And not just motel towels. There might be great illicit loves, enduring joy, faith-shaking accidents with farm machinery. But you have to not know in order to see what stories your life's efforts bring you. The mystery is all." ~ Lorrie Moore
When I grow up, I want to drink a beer with Lorrie and talk about the boyfriends of her past. Or maybe just take her class. I'm down with settling.
Music of the week: Wilco, Jessie Baylin, William Fitzsimmons, Jeff Buckley and The New Pornographers.
Check it.

Faith-shaking accidents with farm machinery are neither fateful nor amusing.
Give it time. You'll get there.
Also, I think you would really like Wilco. So you should especially check it.
I miss the New Pornographers.. haven't listened to them in a long long time..
what are you doing up this late, missy? it sort of makes me happy that we're both up, though. i feel too old to be awake.
