I Am Soooo Hungry!

I'm going to go eat some food and not gain 100 pounds. I've only had coffee today because I had to get up at six and grade papers and so I did that and then I went and taught class and I was soooo giddy from all the coffee that we only talked about things like Arnold Schwartzenegger (I don't know how to spell that) and steroids and then I let the students out early and now I'm doing this.

I'm so excited though, because I finally finished grading papers and now I can go home and watch Arrested Development and not do anything school related! Maybe that's what makes all of this worth it . . . the times when you finally don't have to grade papers. Until the next time, but I don't want to think about that.

This guy just walked by and he was saying, "Dude, your teammates totally tried to stab you in the back, man!" It took me about five, literally five, minutes to type that because I'm so hungry and my fingers aren't working right and I had to go back and fix the millions of little typos I made.

I wish I had something interesting to say, but I don't. Nothing at all. But I feel interesting. I think it's because I am soooo tired and sooo hungry and I've had sooo much coffee. I think my stomach is starting to eat itself.

I have this stupid habit where I twirl my hair around my fingers while I read. I just read over this to see if I missed any glaring typos and I caught myself doing it. Boo on me. I think I'll probably go to Taco Bell.

P.S.

P.S. I don't think I'm going to gain 100 pounds just to amuse some weirdos.

P.P.S. Do you know what show is really funny? Arrested Development, that's what.

It's Saturday

It's Saturday and I'm in the "office." The office consists of about twelve little cubicle things with desks and file cabinets and the like. It's an odd place and instead of getting anything done we ("we" being my "officemates" and I) sit around and look up videos on youtube.

I'm supposed to be grading papers but I need to ease into it. Otherwise the shock might kill me. This is kind of weird, but when it comes to getting into lakes and/or other cold bodies of water I do just the opposite: I jump right in and get it over with as soon as possible.

Well, I'm going to go start. I've put it off long enough.

No one cares about this, but I miss my friend Val.

P.S. I didn't wake up early this morning to go jogging. Boo on me.

P.P.S. Did you know that you can get sixty dollars a week for donating plasma? Because you can.

The Athens Lunatic Asylum . . .

Nice name, right? Anyway, this is an older picture of the place . . .

Guess What I Just Did: Part 2

I just wrote a paper titled, "Female Representations and Significance to Southern Culture in Faulkner's 'As I Lay Dying' and 'Light in August'." Totally lame.

Well that's about it. I was going to go running today but instead I came home and fell asleep for two hours and then wrote that stupid paper. I'm going to run tomorrow morning. I always say that but I never do . . . I just can't get up early. I usually run at night. One time I went at 11:00 pm and that was pretty nice because no one was around to hear me breath really loudly.

Also, I run around an old, abandoned insane asylum which was built in the early 1800's. It's pretty neat. I think you can look it up on Wikipedia and see a picture of it. Anyway, it's a cool building. Way cooler than the insane asylum in Bartonville, or wherever.

You know, I just read that paragraph up there and I realized it sounds like I run around inside an old abandoned insane asylum . . . I don't do that . . . I run around the outside of it. Perimeter. I like to say perimeter because it makes me feel like maybe I'm in a movie, like Aliens or something, because everybody in that movie is constantly saying, "Check the perimeter." Alien and Aliens are such great movies. The third one is okay and the fourth isn't even part of the canon in my opinion. Another great movie is John Carpenter's The Thing. Those are maybe some of the best alien/horror movies ever. In fact this is how it goes:

- Alien trilogy (ignoring the fourth installment) = #1 (but only because there are three of them)
- John Carpenter's The Thing = #2
- Bladerunner = #3

You know, I can't think of any other alien movies that I really like . . . I don't know what's wrong with me but anyway, I just included Bladerunner because it's sci-fi and I like it.

Ughhhh, well I'd better go to sleep so I can get up early and go running . . .

P.S. I'm not going to get up early. Probably.
