Still awaiting edits from advisor on last chapter.<\/p>\n<p>Grad school life:  Yesterday I woke up at 10:00 AM and met Anthony Braxton at 11:00.  after several minutes of fussing with cables in the EMS (which had all been recently disconnected for Jascha&#8217;s concert), I played through my concert program for him.  (The 4 channel version of my Fred Phelps piece has quit working for some reason.)  He asked me if I was going to do a piece with DeLay attacking the judiciary.  No!!!  No more english text.  No more american politics!  I must go to France next year.<br \/>\nWe went for lunch with Jessica and then I went home and worked on my bibliography.  Angela came over for dinner and then left to go to a concert and I kept working on my bibliography (some of my favorite citations are below.  I know it&#8217;s boring.  I don&#8217;t care.  Cola talked me out of posting all 11 pages.)  I worked on it until 2:30 AM and then walked Xena, who desperately wants more exercise in her life) and then I went to sleep.  This morning, err&#8230; afternoon, I got out of bed at 1:00 and then fixed all of my end notes so they go with my bibliography instead of just being urls.  Now I ponder dinner, but my cover is exceedingly bare.  Maybe I&#8217;ll have nutella on wonder (wheat) bread.<br \/>\nRandom complaints:  I&#8217;m allergic to the toilet paper that Aaron bought.  I have skin allergies.  I have to use hippie shampoo or I itch a lot.  Right now, I itch a lot.  Out of food.  Nearly out of dog food.  Raining.  <a href=\"http:\/\/iamsittinginaroom.blogspot.com\/2005\/04\/sol-la-ti-doh.html\">Pop culture seems to be at war with art music<\/a>.  And music seems to get singled out a lot.  Why?  What are people afraid of?<br \/>\nWhen I was in the compulsory period of my education, the prohibition against drinking and driving was so emphasized that I thought that wanting to drive must be one of the effects of drinking.  You would drink a glass of beer and the overwhelming urge to get into a car and drive would seize you, but you had to resist.  So when I finally started consuming alcohol, I was steeled.  I was not going to suddenly want to go for a joy ride!  Although after so much repetition if this idea, the thought would creep into my head.  Sometimes when I&#8217;m drunk (which is rare) I announce &#8220;I want to go for a drive!&#8221;  But I do not go, because I have the mental toughness to resist.<br \/>\nSo last night, as I was assembling my bibliography, I was forced to revisit all my sources for pundit material.  I only had about 10 citation to go.  I wanted to be done.  But I was reaching mental break down.  Finally, I got to the section where O&#8217;Reilly was asserting that gay rights would lead people to want to marry goats.  I was in a suggestible stage!  This normally wouldn&#8217;t happen!<br \/>\nI am engaged to Billy.  We haven&#8217;t set a date, as we&#8217;re awaiting the results of our court decision.<br \/>\nNo I don&#8217;t <em>like<\/em> goats in any sort of disturbing, ASPCA-alerting or naughty way.  I just feel like I should marry one.<br \/>\nFor our honeymoon, we&#8217;re taking the O&#8217;Reilly cruise to the Caribbean, which we understand has plenty of vegetarian fare as falafel is served at every meal.  All guests get a complimentary loofah.<br \/>\nTag: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Celesteh\" rel=\"tag\">Celesteh<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thesis: 70 pages &#8211; 12 point 1.5 spaces Century Gothic font, counting bibliography. 18,310 words, counting bibliography.
