...a colleague and I have a grant application due. It's pretty much getting to be almost done.
...I have an Arabic essay due. It's about half done and due in one hour.
...is the last full day before Dan gets back!!
Plus, this whole new Google Buzz thing...I'm not sure how I feel about it. I mean, I've participated in the narcissistic practice of blogging for a while now (holy crap it's been four years - !!), and we know I use my gChat status bar, but somehow imposing a one-line status on the world, knowing that it's going to show up as "new" Buzz and someone's going to feel obligated to read it, if for no other reason than to get their "unread Buzz" back to zero...feels even more narcissistic. I'm not sure I can handle it. (And is it considered meta-narcissistic if I post on my blog about it??)
Happy Monday! :)
A little something about me
- Margaret
- college town, Upper midwest, United States
- Sometimes late at night I break into song. And in recognition of that whole it's - really - too - late - for - anyone - to - expect - me - to - be - rational thing, I typically preface my musical rendition with, "That reminds me of a song...and it goes a little something like this." And so, when the mood strikes me, or the hour is late enough ;) , here is where I'll break into the silly songs of my childhood, the pseudo-intellectual ramblings of my grad student-hood, the haphazard mutterings of my single-hood, the philosophical musings of my female-hood, the inspirational babblings of my human-hood, the frazzled sputterings of my junior high French teacher-hood. So world, this is me. These are my thoughts, this is my life. And it goes a little something like this...

RE: Buzz. Yeah, I supposed that's how we all felt... back when Facebook started up!
Oh, and am I the only one noticing a correlation between your blogging activity and the absence of your boy?
No, Jeremy, you are not the only one who has noticed. Margaret also called me the other day. Yup, sure enough, the bf is out of town...
Oh, the joys of writing and applying for grants. That's what I've been working for for the past two months, and just barely submitted on Friday! Tell me about your project?
By the way, one of my good friends (who, like you, is very funny) is majoring in Arabic. Perhaps, I can put the two of you in touch? You're both so awesome!
I miss you! Hope all is well.
Yeah, it's a good thing you aren't on Facebook (I'm assuming you are still holding out).
Now that Dan is back, will your blogging be on the back burner again? hmm?
