making lists is like being productive, right?

a quick check-in before i go on hiatus for a bit. weekend in review:
final papers are like giving birth to an unwanted child. painful. i don't want to. i've had plenty of time to prepare, but that doesn't make it easier or better. always surprising that they turn out okay given the hostile and resentful environment from which they were created. now that i've beaten a crass metaphor to death, things i've done instead of writing said paper:
-ate a cookie.
- solved an obscene amount of sudoku puzzles.
-inadvertently poisoned myself on friday. in the war against bugs, i lose.
-spider-man 3, in a word, EMO. so full of 'drama' and so little to say. give peter parker a guitar and a razor blade and be done with it.
-it's no secret that i love scandinavian pop. here's a track from i'm from barcelona, the twee, swedish version of the polyphonic spree. relentlessly upbeat.


-okay, seriously, i'm going to finish my paper now. really.

odds and ends: i'll be back in the 505 for a few weeks. who's up for giant burritos and hiking in the foothills?
