It is gray and disgusting outside. I'm halfway through a novel of which I hate all the characters,* and I have approximately 300 more pages of fiction and criticism to read in the next day so that I can write my response on Sunday. I have just gotten an inkling of the scope of the revisions I will be making to my thesis.** I am continuing to panic over orals.
Something about this situation needs to change.
(BSG's The Plan came in the mail today, but I'm not sure that'll do it. I actually haven't paid any attention to what it's about--it's a prequel? Maybe? I guess I'll find out when I watch it tonight. Not sure if anything BSG-related will make me feel better, given that the show always left me feeling a bit beaten even at the same time as it was amazing, but...we'll see. I'll try and write up some comments, but time is not really something I have in great supply at the moment. I'm still consuming stuff, like this and Castle, but not really posting about it, as I'm sure you've noticed. Maybe in May...)
* Although I will admit, reading Dorian Gray as a Modernist novel rather than a Victorian one improves it by about 10,000%. And I like the plot and the ideas in the book; it's just the people I can't stand.
** Well, my director said that almost all of his suggestions were optional, but come on. Once you know something needs to be changed, you can't unknow it.
