can't sleep...

last night i finally dragged my ass to jewel and picked up groceries. and i made a ton of stew. then for desert i mixed haagen dazs' vanilla light with pumpkin butter + pieces of a mango. it was marvelous. num num num.

watched an episode of lost with dennis. that show is getting more fucked up every week. i'm sort of over it, sadly. i'm contemplating just waiting until season 3 comes out on dvd and telling dennis he doesn't have to record it for me anymore.

i miss anna a lot. i want to make everything ok for her, which in my imagination includes kicking her pansy-ass husband in the face and/or nuts. i was dreading driving home next tuesday night, but 6 hours in a car isn't so bad when the result is getting to see your best friend. it sounds like amy is going to visit me too, as well as elise and bunk. and of course, ash will be there, with joey probably. can't wait to give them all great big hugs.

i'm reading wicked: the life ands times of the wicked witch of the west by gregory maguire. i suppose i hadn't picked it up until now because i hadn't heard much about it and the whole "other take on an old classic" thing never really drew me in. but now that i've started reading it, i must say it's quite wonderful. after i finish this one, i'm reading 700 sundays, a memoir by billy crystal, followed by john irving's massive (822pg) new novel, until i find you.

i have this awful essay i have to write before break for my makeshift film lit class (that really does not resemble a lit class in any way, shape, or form). i plan on doing it friday and saturday, but i'm trying not to think about it. i hate essays. following this one, i have the final essay due for that class PLUS an annotated bibliography that only the grad students are required to do. i officially loathe interdisciplinary courses. this one in particular is a complete joke. i think a bunch of dumbass important people got together and thought, yeah, why can't we put all these non-relating disciplines together? we'll even make it a grad course as well and just tag on an annotated bib. i got a B+ on my 1st paper. she wrote nothing bad on it except trivial things and when i asked her about the grade, she seemed alarmed. i truly believe she didn't give me an A because a few undergraduates got A's and she had to do something to make grading look more difficult for a graduate student. there seriously was nothing wrong with that paper. apparently she doesn't know i don't do B's. ok, for real, i'm not that arrogant. i'm just annoyed i have to write another paper.
