Welcome to my fabulous life. Here's an update:
Grad school: SFSU is a big turd. In addition to the bureaucracy, the furloughs, the cut classes, the raised fees, what I'm having to learn this semester is dealing unsupportive professors and a hostile graduate department environment. There is competition - HOW?! Here's what it sounds like (in nerd voice) - "My analysis on Derrida kicks the nards out of your joke of a paper on Hirsch, you plebeian!" ANSWER: there is none unless you are a douche.
Work: I am SOOOOO good at hand numbering pages!!! This American Life and Fresh Air seem to be making the time go by but by the end of the day I want to shake Ira Glass by the shoulders and yank on Terry Gross's nose. Apparently my venting fantasies are mildly juvenile.
Health: Yup, there is a section on my health. RIGHT AFTER I turned in a paper last Thursday I got a cold. That was perfect timing because Friday Jackface and I had planned our annual we've-been-dating-too-long outing, and Saturday was gonna be a hang out session with my nephew. Here's what ended up happening: Friday - Take out Chinese food and play; Saturday - watched Mad Men, The Life Aquatic and SNL, made tons of mucous and dreamed of cheeseburgers and ketchup.
The other stuff: As mentioned earlier, I went to a play on Friday and I can't recommend going to this theater enough. Get the shockbox seats and zap your neighbors (or be zapped...!) This year's production was lots of fun with people in yellow face aaaaaand.... BOOBIES! In other news, my nephew is still adorable and I can't taste or smell (which is dangerous for when I fart in public because I can't tell if I need to fan the air). The end. Here's Ben in his halloween costume.
