yuuagoHokay. So. This weekend was one huge orgy of uselessness. I slept a ton and I have no idea why. There is absolutely no logical explanation for why I am sleeping so much. I'm not even tired! Well, not much. But sometimes I'll just randomly flop down and zzzzz. How strange. I wish I could package up my ability to sleep and send some of it to those who need it!
I did get a few things done, however. Got groceries, tidied up the place a bit (though there is still a lot of that to be done), read some Tristram Shandy and marked a few papers. It doesn't sound like a lot, but I suppose it's better than nothing. So far, just going by my glances through the papers, they are not as awful as the last batch. Thank the gods! Praise the lawd and pass the ammunition!
Or the red pen, in this case.
I think part of the reason that these are slightly better than the other batch is because they're writing on a modern novel. Furthermore, it's one that everyone seemed to like, or at least one that everyone had something to say about (Oryx and Crake). Still, some of them are just... ugh. Not so bad, not so bad, but what part of "USE FORMAL LANGUAGE" don't these kids understand? :/ This is an essay! Not a blog entry! Sigh.
Worked a little bit more on the big long fic today. I'm kind of stalling on the scene I'm currently writing. It doesn't surprise me; it's kind of an awkward situation. Blargh! Oh well, need to get through it so I can write the rest.
Wrote two meme fills recently. This and this. Oh dear gods, John Donne is going to haunt me for the rest of my life. :| I swear, after I finished that class, I vowed I'd never so much as think about Donne again, but here I am writing it into fic. OY!
Ideas keep attacking me and it's like, what. :| STOPPITSTOPPITSTOPPIT! Wait until I'm finished something before giving me ideas! God damnit. D:
Also:
"Do you still--"
"I never stopped."
Oh Finland. Oh Eesti. Someday I will write some smut with those two and IT WILL BE HOT, SEXY AND ANGST-FREE, DAMNIT.
I can manage it. I swear.
Surely I can! xD
