Here’s a list of things that I’ll be able to do once the thesis is over and done with. They’re in no particular order:

1. Read all those used copies of existential philosophy that I bought almost two years ago. Continue reading →

Well, after posting earlier today, I fell asleep again until five o’clock, hehe. Upon getting up, Ian asked if I’d like to go to Mogger’s, and I was like “DUH!” So we went to Mogger’s and I got a long island iced tea and a salad. Ahhh, alcohol. I didn’t even consider a beer or a soda or tea, I needed hard liquor. Ian said it’s the most relaxed he’s seen me in a while. On the way home, we Continue reading →

I’ve come back to work today despite the fact that I actually feel worse than I did yesterday, and now they’re doing construction somewhere in the building using hammers and drills which may as well be pounding/creating holes in my head for all it’s helping my headache and weariness. My throat hurts more; my joints feel like they’re being held together with rubber bands about to snap. Continue reading →

Well, I seem to have gotten some of my brain cells back from this afternoon’s writing marathon, at least enough to be able to spend the better part of this evening typing up chapter three and an additional appendix. Woot! Chapter three is practically done; I just want to do some cleaning up tomorrow and get some page numbers from an article sitting on my desk in the office. I should be Continue reading →

Chapter two is going out to the committee this afternoon. Technically, it could use more work, but that’s where the committee comes in. They look at it, they mark it up and tell me to “do it better!” Now it’s chapter three time. I’ve pretty much just got this week to get it all together and turned in to my committee, so I’m going to have to forgo just about everything. Luckily, it has been slow Continue reading →

No new content yesterday. Between the grey, dismal weather, cramps, headaches, and the phone constantly ringing, I really didn’t get any thesis work done here at the office, and when I got home, my brain still wasn’t cooperating. I forwent thesis work for crafting in EQ, something I really need to put a hold on because I’m not leveling at all, just making stuff which fills up my bank accounts. Continue reading →

Well, after some bank-organizing in EQ, tire-filling at the Marathon on 7th and Hulman, grocery-shopping at Wal-mart, and shower-taking here at home, I finally got down on my knees and started bowing to the Thesis Deity. Actually, when I’m at home working on the thesis, I am sort of on my knees since this is an ergonomic chair and it has that kneeler on the front so I can sit up Continue reading →

Okay, so I did some math (scary thought) and I figured out that with 17 days left to finish my thesis, if I write anywhere from two to four pages a day, I’ll be able to add another 34 to 68 pages by March. Sweet! That’s not too bad considering that it’s generally an average. Some days I may be able to write more and some days I may not be able to write at all (mentally or physically). So Continue reading →

OK, I’m going to try this again. I was posting just a few minutes ago while I was destroying lunch (Goddamn you, rice, goddamn you!) and we had a series of strange power surges or something which caused both Knave and Brannagh to reset a few times. Buster, having a battery, was unaffected. At any rate, the point of the post is to go on at silly length about the thesis some more, Continue reading →

While I doubt there’s any barbeque teas out there, I am getting two new types soon. Adagio is running a Valentine’s special where you can get two blooming teas for the price of one. I’ve always wanted to try a blooming tea; they’re just pretty to look at. Of course, I might also have to get a different cup for it because I don’t know that the glass mug I have now will hold a blooming tea Continue reading →
