There is a God.

No, I'm not quoting Max Guevera from the second all-time Dark Angel episode "Heat". I'm mainly coming on to say that today (the day of avoiding paper grading, then trying my hand at it again, then avoiding it some more, then ordering Chinese food to last me til Monday, then letting Full House be my background noise, then trying my hand at working again, then writing this blog) I tried to avoid paper grading for my "lunch hour" spent with no one by popping in my netflix disk of Smallville season 3. (I think the show might be getting good, soon.) However, there was a long angular crack down the disk, meaning my DVD player couldn't read it, meaning that my penchant for watching things in order negated my popping in the next disk. In other words, I was trying to waste more time, and I was thwarted.

Coincidence?

I think not.

10 Things I love

1. Rob Bell and Narrative Theology (oo, that's a two-fer!) and the Emergent church (a trio!)
2. Bones

4. John Campbell's web-comic
5. Young Adult Fantasy Literature
6. Stylized Prose
7. Stale Oreos (w/ milk)
8. Procrastinating
9. Using parentheses in non-academic writing
10. Writing scholarly papers that aren't required for class

You should all try these things on for size. Well, I understand if you aren't interested in some things, like--say--the stale oreos.

Stay strong in the struggle. blah blah woof woof. ~ LAR

For those of you who haven't caught on yet, I seem to have reached the point where I feel the need to reach out to as many people as I possibly can (hence the sudden increase in blogging). In other words, grad school has forced me to seek the companionship of html coding & 1's and 0's because I really do want to avoid work that much! THAT much!
