It's Getting Cold!!!




It's about 20 degrees outside right now. I'm wearing four layers of clothing, drinking coffee, and curling up into a small ball as I grade the last set of my creative writing fiction (friction) portfolios.

I'm trying not to procrastinate, but . . . I hate grading at this point in the semester (hell, I hate grading, period). There's so much football on television. . . and I've got so many books I want to read.

Just received The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime and I want to spend all day reading. I've also got Rita Dove's new book, American Smooth.

I think the books will keep me warmer than the portfolios. Yes?

oh yes.
my grades are due on tues, 12 pm, and i'm doing _everything_ in my power to avoid the task:

videogames, eating out, watching "lifetime: television for women," for god's sakes.

here's to the end of the marking period!

Hope you enjoy Curious Incident... In my head, I've condensed it to Curious Dog, for some strange reason.
