9:30PM

a) I want to go to culinary school
b) My stress has morphed into apathy about everything and a severe lack of stress to propel me to do just about anything (this may have some to do with the being up since 6:30am, though)
c) I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR NEW MOON TOMORROW NIGHT...if only for the (supposedly) improved sparkle-effects

6:18PM - thesis time.

a) I'm getting pretty good at making tofu-noodle soup (now with caramelized garlic and bean sprouts)

b) Here's a fun, fantastically disturbing, piece of literature written by a Harlequin novelist defending the genre of romantic fiction (and Harlequin publishing, by extension) from feminist literary critics.

"You don't get much of a challenge for your heroine from a sensitive, understanding, right-thinking modern man who is part therapist, part best-friend, and , yes, mostly female in his thinking process. He will, of course, be a truly wonderful human being but he is too much like the heroine to provide any real source of conflict in a romance.

Furthermore, this image of the perfect modern man is not realistic in the first place, no matter how much the editors or even we ourselves would like to think it is. A man who does not lose his temper with you? A man who is always sensitive, always deeply in touch with his own emotions and yours? A man who would never growl or snap or sulk or seek vengeance or say he told you so? A man who believes in his heart of hearts that women really should be totally liberated? That they should share in the power that men have always considered theirs by divine right? A man who does not feel deep in his soul that women should look to him for protectiona nd, yes, guidance? A man who does not ulimately like to feel that he is in control of his world and that includes, on some primitive level, his woman?
Give me a break."

Also, this was written in 1989. Seriously, world, what the fuck.

as always, everything hits at once.

deadlines are approaching, not necessarily near but near enough. rocky horror is stressing me right the fuck out, all of a sudden. i should have prepared for this. i knew it was going to happen. i need another two weeks before this semester is half over, and the one time i superduper need to do work over break--to the point where i wish i could stay here--i will only be in new york state for three days.

i want to be here and write my thesis, without other classes to worry about. other responsibilities to commit to. extraneous procrastination to be an option.

thanks for being here, livejournal, so i can be depressed about my life a little more publicly.
