Dryer Accepted, Vacuum Rejected
At least the last few days have been more productive... well, until today at least.

There's Always Tomorrow.
Today was the first day of my Spring Break, you know, that time during which I'm supposed to be getting all of this career-making work done.

A Growing List
When we were driving around in Cleveland last night with Kory and Amy, I mentioned several things that I wanted to do in Northeastern Ohio before we move.

My Bar Tab is More than My Salary?
Some more stupid shit I found online. I really wish I was sleepy.
By the way, my bar tab is $695.
Let the speculation begin....
Trying to Kill the Second Wind.

Turning Points
As there is little more invigorating than the first nice day of the year on a college campus, there are few things of such limited consequence that make one feel more abandoned than the last day of classes before spring break.
Let Go.
Last night, once I arrived home, was the first night in literally weeks that I did not have some sort of deadline within 24-48 hours that I was panicking to meet.
With that, I finally let my mind just release.

The Early-Morning Return of the Ship
I'm unsure why I torture myself in this way.

Broken Dreams of Fruit
Just a couple of random notes for today while I'm working my brain into a frenzy.

Random Thoughts, Volume 16
We watched Garden State last night from the Akron library. It seemed as though the copy we picked up not only had no closed captioning (a must for my deaf ass), but had been added carefully transcripted Spanish subttles.

Book It.
I heard a radio report the other day that explained that parents were getting irritated at Pizza Hut's Book It campaign, because it rewarded kids for reading with food. I never thought of it that way, that reading, one of the world's most intellectually stimulating activities, was being intrinsically linked from a very young age to consumerism.

A Note to Olive Garden (et al.)
If I wasn't already turned off by your restaurant's not-so-good overpriced food and generally poor service... well, I would find reason to hate your restaurant because of the terrible commercials that you air. Granted, I haven't visited one of your dumps in probably a couple years.
Am I a Lesbian?
1. Have you ever shaved your head?
Yes. Back in high school.

Another Day of Wasted Youth (Or, How to Watch More Money Flow Right Down the Toilet)
The weekend was generally okay, with Amy throwing a party for her church at the hotel. It wasn't anything fancy, just a potluck and board games. Well, that meant a couple hours of moving tables, and more hours of being sore from the labor and exhausted from the socializing.

Never-Produced Short Films
I'm really beginning to wonder about myself. No, it's not that normal Andy-thinks-he-sucks, or Andy-should-off-himself sort of wonder. I wonder if I've reached the final plateau in the upward trajectory of my abilities in academia.

Pseudo-Random Thoughts, Volume One
I've heard a new thing lately that Wednesday is "Hump Day." I agree.
Distant Places at Distant Times
So, remember the last entry when I talked about how Amy and I needed a vacation and badly? Well, we sorta had one tonight, and we didn't spend a dime.

The Inevitable Return of God Taking a Giant Shit Right on our Heads.
Yep. Newspaper doesn't provide cover for a shit-storm like this.

Conspiracies (radio edit)
I originally wrote this post yesterday, and it was brought to my attention that it was pretty harsh on Amy. This was certainly never my intent with the post or with anything else. It simply didn't read like I intended. So, this is the better version.

"Bullshit"
That's to be expected.

Look out, below.
Tonight, it's raining. This would be a pretty unspectacular event (especially in northeast Ohio), but it hasn't done this that I can remember for a month or more.
Fined and Gendered.
Today was the first day in (probably) close to a year that I've had time to work on my dissertation.
