shayne has been a blog slacker.

i've been busy, too. but when it's 1:30am on a week night and you can't sleep, the night seems endless. so i thought i would use some of that godforsaken time to blog. here's a list of things i learned this week:
  • my computer science professor owes me approximately $240. she's cancelled three (of four!) class sessions this semester.
  • tom jones (the novel by henry fielding, not the well-endowed welshman) is extremely entertaining. 18th century brit lit=fun!
  • henry james once condescendingly called sarah orne jewett's country of the pointed firs a 'beautiful little quantum of achievement'. sarah orne jewett lives on the shelf next to henry james in the library. i hope ms. jewett's books beat the shit of mr. james' books every night.
  • i can still (almost) lose it when speaking words that really matter in front of other people. writing class is making me mental as well as contributing to an insomniac state.
  • i'm (really) stressed out. why am i always the last to figure this one out?
and finally, i learned not to blog when you're suffering from insomnia. it makes for some dreary stuff.

oh, i am a huge fan of tom jones' work - he is a really snappy musician. "it's not unusual" is one of my all-time faves!!
