patting myself on the back

well, it has turned out to be a very big day. ok, so it wasn’t. but this last hour. now that has been rife with productivity.

after spending a solid hour composing an email to tim heaphy to tell him what i’m picking as my paper topic…ok, so i didn’t tell him. really, what i did, was tell him that i don’t have any idea what i want to write about. but i hid that within about 10 lines of text, talking about things that really interest me about a topic. so i’m hoping that that 10 lines of other stuff will distract him to the fact that i have not at all picked a topic and then he’ll just send me something to write about. brilliant, isn’t it? i thought so too. well, the potential problem is that the 10 lines of text will draw attention to the fact that i have not picked a topic and am only trying to distract him from that fact. i decided to take that risk.

and THEN, after i had put in all that hard work, i decided it was time to watch the 4th disc of the office. yes, because my last 12 hours of tv watching have been very grueling. i clearly deserved to watch another 2 hours. BUT the upside is that when i’m done with this, then at least they won’t sitting there, telling me to watch them. so that’s good.
