the midterm week from hell 2.0 will commence soon. I've got three exams (plus a quiz and short short paper) before the weekend and two (plus a presentation) at the beginning of next week. i'm kind of halfway ready. i've got my notes in order and everything, i just have to, you know, study them.
i registered for classes:
biology 101 + lab (fuckin' psych prereqs...fuck me for taking geology instead)
research methods in psychology (this class is hella long but i get 4 credit hours and it shouldn't be unbearable and steph is in it and i think reed will be in the once-a-week lecture hour at the least)
independent research (that peer relations lab i talked about last entry)
advanced personality theory (i'm #1 on the waitlist so i will flip out if i don't get in for whatever reason)
that puts me at fourteen hours. i'm sitting on a class for marycate until she registers tomorrow but once i can drop that and register for another credit hour, i am going to try to take a pass/fail course taught by an honors undergrad on the "physiology of love," just because it sounds interesting. or i might not and just stay at fourteen hours.
i think i'm dropping down from an american studies second major to just another minor. it's the difference in four more classes versus one. i'd rather take psych and sociology electives next year and take a lower credit load and get a part-time job or another research project or something next year instead of taking classes that are no longer in line with my goals or, really, my interests.
i think my newest life plan is to stick with the school psychologist thing and work on writing a book. with the exception of some tom robbins novels, all of my recent book purchases are either memoirs, books in cultural studies or the social sciences, or some other nonfiction. even the fiction books i own are more or less about the human condition. and that's what i am interested in, and now that i've developed that a bit more thoroughly i know what i like to read about and what i'd hypothetically write about. i've been reading the blogs on psychology today and anything that catches my eye.
i really ought to study.
i also should get lots of groceries at the store today. i'm making sure to go before, not after, dinner today.

down here
the crickets chirp endlessly
on moist nights
rainclouds every day
gray skies
and interstates paved white
bright
we break and build walls
ballers
hauling building materials
in a nissan altima
gray
calling shots we were never
paid to make
sleepwalking days away

Louis Armstrong- "Savoyager's Stomp" |

I am very glad to announce that my good buddy Tango has just become the proud father of six very confused, very sticky labrador puppies.
Both mother and puppies are healthy and in good spirits, albeit still very confused and sticky.
Expect a ridiculous amount of pictures when I get there (in less than 40 days!).

I think the idea of "it's just the will of God and you shouldn't mess with it!" is a hilarious concept. Since most of the Christians I know/read about believe that it is impossible to truly know the will of God, how do you know if you are messing with it or not? Maybe God wanted you to go on a diet, but getting your meal Supersized defied his holy will. Maybe he wanted you to not get pregnant, but getting fertility treaments is spitting in his face. Since your deity is supposedly all knowing, isn't doing whatever the fuck you want and not second guessing him more likely to appease him, since he knows what you were going to do anyway?
As usual, if you were offended, you are obligated by a hippie carpenter to forgive me.

she likes to walk around naked
and talk to gypsies.
she likes it when i sing her to sleep
and my words put ice in her dreams.
and most of all
she likes the songs about snow
i haven't written her yet
they will come in the morning
and melt by afternoon.
she likes to drink firewater
then dance with whoever.
the drunk in her likes everyone.
and most of all
she likes to start singing
songs at the moon.
it's the whiskey that finds the lyrics
she never knew back in the day
when the shit was upon her.
that doesn't matter anyhow;
these days she walks around free.

the moon is like a half-cocked pistol
or a game of russian roulette
and every night it is my life flashing
before these tired eyes
dancing across the sky
and if that is so
then the stars are her slippers
and the wind is a mother
bringing clouds so she can sleep
like all things that grow
need sleep from time to time
and when she dreams she will talk
so i listen and hear her say
when i get where i'm going
it won't be a crime

My dream last night involed an honest Senator offering up his jaw to be chewed upon by the less than honest, all in the hope that such a clear stunt would be recognized for what it is. The nature of dreams means there was surgery and cnnibalism and no consequences. Oh joy.
