Oh, what a funny weekend it has been (please note that the “weekend” starts on Thursday night in these here parts. Don’t let anyone ever tell you that graduate school is a bad idea). Here is a largely disconnected list detailing said funniness:
1. As a result of boys and dead German philosophers, this weekend I have been taking a page from my dearest role model, Ms. Dot Parker, and have been rather excessively into the drink. Thursday night was “let’s get drunk and watch movies and cry!” night and Friday night was “let’s get drunk and eat a gigantic pizza with friends!” night and last night was “let’s have one glass of red wine, try to get some work done, fail, and then fall asleep!” night. Tonight I am limiting myself things that are only as strong as tea.
2. Yesterday was an amazing day! Yesterday Shelina and I went to Guerilla Fest and heard bands play in parking lots and pumpkin patches and oil fields and made friends and found out about little hipstery performing arts spaces that I didn’t know existed and people gave us rides home and sandwiches and copies of their album and it was generally a great day and I think we are starting a band.
3. Lynda Carter (that would be Wonder Woman), who is, depressingly, terrifyingly Republican, has some surprisingly super things to say about how awful Sarah Palin is!
4. If one more student emails me and is all like “I didn’t do last week’s discussion assignment because I forgot/am confused/was busy/am a dumbass, can I post it today and still get credit,” I am gonna, like, punch someone in the face with my fists of justice.
And I was going to include other things on this list, but having re-read what I’ve written, I think that it’s pretty important that I close with the phrase “fists of justice.”
