ok, so i'm back. huzzah! and i've scarcely been here an hour before someone ims me a wonderful link to inspect. thank you, rob. (yes, i'm serious) my favourite has to be the list of "places to spot men who look like kenny rogers" including "taxidermy shops," "the sporting goods section of k mart" and "aa meetings."

anyhow, today was a looong day because i just can't sleep when i'm not in my own bed, i guess. i got up before nine for the third day in a row without any real cause or justification. well, this did have the distinct benefit of allowing me to practice and finish my reading assignment this weekend while still enjoying most of the day. i had a fabulous weekend, really, and just wandering around colgate's campus was more fun than i've had in a while. it's so beautiful there. i find that i usually don't appreciate the things i live with enough, although i do take time on occasion to do things like feel the breeze, really look at the sunset... when i go elsewhere, though... it's the greener grass on the other side of the fence again, but at least i'm not trying to actively pitch one campus against the other in competition. well, umm, ok, i am a bit, but i realize that the comparative lack of aesthetics on our campus doesn't mean that i can't still appreciate what we do have. which reminds me that i need to take a trip down to the creek soon. i even have spare time in which to do these things. whoo!

well, so now i have to get back into the swing of things. hmm, not "back," really. i never even quite finished unpacking and decorating. i did, however, just find my extra escher pictures, so now i can finish my wonderfully anal organization of them onto my desk drawers, which, in my humble opinion, looked bloody fabulous last year. huzzah! side note: i am absolutely incredulous: since i put up all these posters almost a week ago none have fallen or even started to droop. side note number two: reading frazer's the golden bough has apparently killed my writing deader than it was to begin with: i just wrote two sentences in a row with more than one colon in them. (i simply could not believe it when i saw this man write that way....

commence mini rant that has been rehashed six times per day for the past week: frazer's sentences by and large should be shot. his spelling should be hung. his stuffy superiority should be burned, and he himself should be drawn and quartered. then dump the quarters in acid. then stomp on them a lot. then burn them. i bloody hate this man and his elitism and talk of barbarism of almost every nation that isn't european. gah!! stupid white men! ok, that was comparatively short. go me.

anyhow, i'm really looking forward to class discussion on all of this tomorrow, yes. /really deadpan voice. meanwhile, it has been a whole four days since our prof sent out the message telling us we were added to a list serv and no one has actually responded on the list serv. i wonder if this will be a continuing trend. (dare i hope?)

well, i should get to bed at a quasi-pseudo-para-ersatz reasonable hour so that i can be bloody refreshed and energized for what 'm sure will turn out to be a class consisting of only me talking in what should be a whole class discussion. i know it's snotty of me to say that, but it certainly worked out that way last time, and the reading hasn't gotten any easier. the only difference: this time we had one hundred pages of condescending, elitist gibberish instead of seventy. wheefun. g'night.
