I have moved out of my house for winter break, and yet instead of going home I am sitting in the school library determinedly not doing my Parody paper that is due by midnight tonight. Once the library closes I'm going over to Krystle's house for supper, then home, where I will probably want to play WOW all evening but will have to resist until this last lingering bit of schoolwork is finished.
In my never-ending pursuit of not doing any work, I have played approximately a million games of Solitaire, and listened to hours of iTunes music on shuffle, which is a good way to discover new music. People tend to give me music which I then tend not to listen to. Music's place in my life is it's what I do when I don't have anything else to do, and even then I usually only listen to Rufus or the Decemberists or, embarrassingly, Iron and Wine, which seems like such a stereotypically college band, but what the fuck, their songs get into my head and stay there.
Thus far, good stuff that I've probably had for ages but never listened to until today includes:
The Sounds
Matt Costa
Crooked Still
All of which gets me exactly no closer to getting this paper finished. Jesus Christ. I just want to make some art, not write about other people's work. Let's all get PoMo and assume theory is dead for the remainder of the week so that I don't have to do this.
On the note of making art, I just realized that I failed to pack all my calligraphy kit, which means I'm not going to be doing any of the projects I had planned this month, which to be fair, I had approximately 20x more projects than I could ever find the time or interest to finish, and my Shakespeare professor has my project book anyway because it's what I did my Hamlet stuff in. It turned out excellently, by the way, to the point where I'm considering taking pictures and setting up a Flickr account in order to post them here.
It seems that the only worthwhile academic stuff I've ever done has been about Hamlet. I am not sure what is up with that.
I need to add more people to my friend's list. The ones I've got don't post often enough to provide a really effective procrastination technique.
Krystle is making shooting-herself gestures across the table. Her research must be going really well!
