I Have “Free” Time…Weird

So last Friday I was informed by my students that spring break was this week. And it’s a good thing to otherwise I would have shown up on campus Monday. The problem, though, is that since I didn’t realize I wouldn’t be teaching this week my bookmines schedule remains the same, and I have a bunch of free hours this morning.
I should be grading these papers sitting here in front of me, but I’m typing this, and then I’ll probably work on a short story, and then I’m going to a used book store to sell/trade in some books left over from the garage sale.

I should be, and for all you know I am, working on novel #2. What I am really doing, in fact, is wasting time. See this sentence right here, that’s me wasting more time.
I now have six friends on Facebook, and I have been led to believe that the friend requests I sent by utilizing my various e-mail address books are faulty in some manner so, I will just open it up again and say that if I need to send you a specific request just send the a mail (electronic like) to kilian.heap@gmail.com. And the NR group now has three member/officers as Tengu has been dubbed “Expert Practitioner of Far-East Voodoo.”
Gilgrim was interwebz-MIA today, except for an e-mail sent from his phone. There was a picture attached. A very humorous and entertaining picture, but I will not post it…OH NO…that is his (or APril’s) prerogative. So I am having gilgrim withdrawals.
I’m also having soda withdrawals as I haven’t had any for about 24 hours. My teeth are itchy. Is that normal?
Alright back to work…or sleep…I do have to get up in about 5 hours, actually.

And because Killian is unable to find the ranking page on the Webcomic List, I figured I’d just rub it in a little.

Which is the title of the research paper I am working on right now…the one that is, currently, about 7 pages long and needs to get to 13 by Thursday, which is, all things considered doable. Of course, I also have a 5 page paper to revise, and another 5 page paper to write, by the same time…so that’s not so good. Plus I take a final that night.
As an undergrad I would blame my current state of affairs on too much napping and video games, now I have “real” excuses like work and a kid. But I tend to work better under pressure, which is why I’ll have an ulcer by the time I’m 30, no doubt.
In case any one is, I don’t think curious is the right word, a glutton for punishment maybe…here’s a paper that I wrote about Emily Dickinson where I site both Douglas Adams and George Lucas as sources (oh yeah, I rock out with my c**k out)…and here’s one more on T.S. Eliot, though it doesn’t have any good citations…feel free to steal either to your heart’s content…
