Breaktime...

This week has been nice, but odd. I've been getting used to not going to school every day, but realize just how hard it is to concentrate without the structure of classes to keep my mind in check. I've noticed that even when I do get up on time, to read, to clean my rabbit cage, to listen to my Neil Diamond classics albums, I have trouble formulating normal thoughts.

Okay, go ahead, say it...
I don't often have normal thoughts anyway. True. But still...

There are times when I seriously doubt my own sanity, but anymore, who does.

I've been reading a lot lately, and that's not exactly an understatement. Consider... In the past week, I've read the first four books of the Harry Potter series. In twenty four hours I read two of them. The other reads were spread out over the rest of the week when I had time. I'm now addicted to them.

I suppose that's what happens when you've been reading for "work" the entire year. It's nice to find something with very little meat on it that you can just read and enjoy. Not like Foucault (not a swear word, I promise), Barthes (not something you do when you're sick, I promise) or Camus (not the behumped creature that wanders in the desert, I promise). I won't at all go into the Christian/non-Christian discussions about the HP books because I don't really care either way now. Before I started them, I was rather anti-Potter because of the use of magic and charms and spirit stuff, but the books are well written and bully for JK Rowling for finding a niche (I've always wanted to use the word "bully" in a sentence).

Okay, I've got to go now, drinking coffee makes me have to pee.

And I'm drinking coffee.

And consequently I have to pee.

Which is why I made that first comment that included both coffee and having to pee. Because I am and I do.

Welcome Back!

"Oh hi... Um... I'm back."

"AFTER A TWO MONTH HIATUS?!"

"Well, yeah... I've been busy"

"DOING WHAT? WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR LIKE TWO MONTHS AND WE'VE REALLY HAD TO PEE BUT WE COULDN'T TEAR OURSELVES AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER BECAUSE WE JUST KEPT HITTING THE REFRESH BUTTON ON THE SCREEN HOPING BEYOND HOPE THAT YOU'D POST AGAIN SO WE COULD GO PEE!"

"Great, thanks, I really do appreciate your faith in my eventual return to the blog world, but I have one question."

"WHAT IS IT!"

"Um... why are you yelling so much?"

"BECAUSE I REALLY HAVE TO PEE AND WHEN I'VE BEEN HOLDING IT IN FOR TWO MONTHS I JUST START YELLING!"

"Oh. Well... that explains it then."

"YES IT DOES!"

"Hey... you know you can go pee now..."

"THANK YOU... I THINK I WILL!"

(sound of running and door slamming)

So if this represents you... and I sincerely hope it doesn't because that would be extremely disturbing... thank you for your patience, and expect multiple posts over the next few days as I not only try to post my thoughts on the last few months, update y'all on my progress as "Andrew Anderson, M.A. Candidate," and transcribe some of my latest poetry.

But while you're waiting... I really think you should go pee now. Your kidneys will thank you.

A+
