Ring out the sound of "Ha, I so called this one."

Six Apart sold Livejournal.

Ha! I so called this one.

The postponement of Six Apart's much awaited stock offering and the sudden inexplicable clean up -- yep. They had the For Sale By Owner sign out on the front lawn.

So glad I have journals in several other places. I'm not going anywhere -- hoping for better options.

Keep your eyes peeled.

Chameleon glasses

Finished a ten-page paper last night. It's emailed and sent. I have two essays to write, one of which is due this afternoon, and I'm bleary-eyed and tired.

I also have a final on Thursday and another paper due for another class.

This morning wildernessguru woke me up at 5:30am. "I can't find my glasses." Obligingly I put my glasses on and stumbled around, not much use because I was still basically asleep. (Yes, yes, of course I helped. You know how frustrating it is to "look" for something when you're blind?)

"Oh, I found them." His chameleon glasses had blended into the DVD cover they were resting on.

I mumbled something then fell back in bed. Heard him call his boss to say he was going to be five minutes late. But the lights were all on and I couldn't tune them out, yet I didn't have the energy to turn them off.

I tried to with my mind, but my telekenesis wasn't working today. Now I'm staring at all those short papers and can summon any energy. I'll try some food first.

There is a lesson in this for you all.

1) Do the short papers first before you finish that 10-page research paper and collapse.
2) Never buy the kind of glasses that have almost no frame. They're invisible!

I totally dig my Chinese History class. I need to catch up on some of my readings but the essay due Thursday is going to be fun. The Writing Center Theory class? I'm having trouble getting into it. I have strong opinions but with the mom-stuff obliterating the middle of my quarter (nevercallingmomagainnevercallingmomagainnevercallingmomagain) I haven't worked in the writing center yet. One of these papers is on writing center experiences. Hmm.

In my mind I'm working on The SGA Project: Flavor of the Year 2007. And I have my next morning with John/Rodney in Out Of Bounds ready. I just have to write it (iwillbegoodanddohomeworkfirstiwillbegoodanddohomeworkfirstiwillbegoodanddohomeworkfirst).

I am starting to hate writing prompts for classes. Yes, they tell you more about what the teacher expects, but they also limit what you can write on the subject. Since I started at UW -- with UW's fine tradition of prompts-ha-ha-ha-just-you-try-to-plagiarize-that -- I find I feel less ownership of my papers. They're more something to get done and less something that produce what I've learned in the class. I think this what's meant by hegemony.
