U2--Vertigo (apropriate on the iPod, doncha think?)
Sorry for getting around to everyone's site so late. I did make the rounds, though, to everyone who posted yesterday and this morning (8:30). I'll come back around this afternoon to catch up on those of you who post late.

Today, I tried to cheat on my diet by getting a bagel, but it must be fate--the place where I usually go to get bagels hadn't received their morning shipment yet. No cheating today! I also will be "saved" from the lure of Chinese food because I leave campus on Fridays by catching a bus with one of my students. No time to make side-trips to the takeout place today. I'm gonna loose a pound or two despite myself. :D

As some of you noted yesterday, I've been reading lots of manga and watching lots of anime (becoming truly Otaku, y'know?). This is a total avoidance stragtegy on my part. I've done precisely JACK on my dissertation lately. God, I'm in such trouble there. Why do intellectual work on the dissertation when I spend all of that energy on the class I teach? I tell you, trying to teach my students how to read (because most students don't learn how to read a literary text in high school) completely exhausts my intellectual creativity. Lesson: if you try to get a Ph.D., avoid teaching when you write your own dissertations.

EDIT: And I was finally going to check up on dA, but the site is read-only for maintenance! Urgh!
