stillaneSo, walked in to yoga today, and saw the least peaceful message ever on the board at the front of the room. Under "To Do" it listed a bunch of plausible actions, on the level of seek inner peace and emulate the pretzel. It ended, however, with "Rampage Across the Countryside". I kid you not. Now, I'm not one to question, but when did rampaging become a big yoga-esque activity? A fellow student and I concluded that it might be good stress relief, at least. Personally, I think it was a leftover from the ballet class that shares the room. You can't trust anyone willing to break their toes that often to look good.
Did laundry last night. Apparently, so did everyone else in the building. I ask you, what kind of psycho does laundry at 10 on a Monday night? And, yes, I am aware of the hypocrasy. In my case, it was brought on by the immediacy of having one pair of underwear and two unmatched socks left to my name identifiable as clean.
In thesis news:
Ack! Must start filing committee-member-choosing forms. Also, I want to officially name the skull Yorick. Badly. It just sits there staring at me in all its prehistoric glory, and I want to quote Shakespeare at it. Or at least the Reduced Shakespeare Company's version thereof.
In not-a-thesis-but-wishes-it-were news:
Grr. Argh. This is what I get for introducing the establishment to the concept of fandom. Now, I have a paper, a project, and an independent study all related in some form to fanfic. Eek. Additionally, I'm going to have to break down and buy Mallory. It's looking more and more central to the theme. Damn.
The project from hell:
Presenting fandom issues to a class. Don't get me wrong, this is very cool. I grew up with fandom as almost a dirty word, so having academic discussions about it with friendlies is amazing. Have I mentioned lately I love my school? Unfortunately, there is much work to be done to get everyone up to speed. The class read an article on slash, and half of them were going, "WTF?" In supportive, but flabbergasted ways. They're a willing bunch, just not indoctrinated. I'm going crazy trying to find a fandom glossary online; I could swear someone mentioned one in a post somewhere, and yet I'm coming up empty. Any hints?
In summary: Overall, life is good. Nuts, but good.
