Hold me, blogs. Hold me tight.

Not a whole lot has happened since my last post, so this will be a bit shorter. I'll give you a brief moment to cheer.

...

There we are. RIGHT! Classes: I have finished all the initial write-ups for the web site, and as soon as those last couple of approvals come in I can finally feel like this is done. It's been a very stressful period, and hopefully now we can start seeing some fruit from our labor. I will say, in contrast, that the people I interviewed were all very nice, and I hope I can stay in touch with at least one or two. Anyway, now I'm working on my portfolio for that unit and praying to any deity that'll listen that I can use my industry analysis as content for it. See, we need 4,000 words of content to submit, and if we're only looking at stuff written for the course or web site I'm a little over 2K. If I can't use the analysis which was also 2K, this weekend will be quite furious. Screenwriting continues to be fun; we're pitching radio dramas this week for practice as much as anything, and I got to work just the tiniest bit on the project that'll be my MA... and it felt good.

I went to the gym for the first time in over a week today. I'm weak. Or exhausted. Either way I want to lay down, which one lets me do that more? Someone get back to me on that.

With the end of term coming up I have to figure out when I can come home. Easy answer is May 12th, the day after we hand in, but noooo. We have to formally submit our MA proposals a week later, and what may be a week after that we talk with our MA supervisors on how we're actually gonna pull the damn things off. Keep in mind I have to have all my crap in another place by the end of June, so my window's getting pretty narrow. If I knew having a life was so tricky, I'd have stuck to playing video games all the time.

I really do need to get back to Indy, if only for a couple of weeks. I need a freaking break. I need my mommy to cook me food and pat my head and tell me what a good boy I am. I need to renew my driver's license (still can't believe that got by me). I need to start moving some of the stuff I collected over here back home - I really am living a semi-Spartan lifestyle but dammit the little things add up! And also I love books.

Speaking of Spartans, I did eventually see 300. I approve. It was heavily stylized, but I think that made it seem as much an event as a movie.

Eh, that's all for now.

.oO When Ryan was in England...land let my Ryan gooooo Oo.

You need to come back to Indy for awhile if only because the only time I ever go to Yats is when you, Marsha and I go. That and you're hysterically funny and I miss hanging out in the mailroom. (Please note: I do not miss the mailroom. I miss hanging out.)

Betsy: you lived through it, and Yats hasn't closed down yet, so I think you'll be okay for a while.

WP: Be nice to Betsy. She's frail, apparently.

WIth exhausted, you only get to lay down 'til you're rested. With weak, you have an excuse to lay down *all the friggin time!* Why do you think I never joined a gym in the first place?
