its been an awful couple weeks. loss has followed back to indiana where my trusted laptop said farewell for the very last time on a monday morning. i had a paper due on tuesday and burst into tears. enter new computer, lifesaver and adequate replacement. they say this one'll be better, but i miss the old one. im also beginning to direct my attentions to the huge amount of work expected of me over the next few weeks. last night/morning i watched the sun rise with foucault and a few saucers with greek coffee rinds. the good news is that i can stay up all night. the bad news is that i am hardly functional the next day. i can quote myself in seminar today when i attempt to sign this off "and i will end my sentence right now, cos its clearly not ending on its own volition."
good bloody night.
