mel saves the day again, part two

i forgot how mel has that uncanny ability to inspire happiness in even the most downtrodden adjunct spirit. but thankfully, my heart was buoyed by this excellent trilogy of videos today. one even features mel playing with puppies. that is more gratifying in literally every way for me than, say, porn. or food. or sleeping.

kristen schaal is a comic genius. i don't care whatcho' mama says.

speaking of shitty white guy adapatations of ghettospeak, check out this blog:

'twas forwarded to me by none other than stewbac moebama himself, and it's literally the most funny/clever thing i've seen on the internets for a really long time. and i read tons of culturally-erudite-as-fuck music blogs, so my clevar radar is off da chartz.

i've got to go work a little more today before i can launch a "medal-of-honor"-playing campaign the likes of which the world has never known. read: play medal of honor and starcraft constantly for like three days, sleep in really late, and try to blatantly ignore how bleak my immediate future seems.

i've already lined up three potential candidates (and good ones, methinks) for paper publications. all three are in radically different literature fields, so at least one has a chance to get through. i'm looking into conference ideas for next year, also. i'd look into ideas for right the fuck now but i don't have any money to travel anywhere. literally, none. until i find out if my insurance company actually covered my 600 dollar bill or not. and how decimated my car is. i'm also looking at trying to get a job at the writing center. at least for now my plan is to just try really damn hard to make myself seem as cool as possible for next year's applications. i'm not giving up on this ph.d thing by any means. after a few months of strategizing, i may yet disappear to china for a year or something, but for now my most exciting prospect for a new project is editing chapters of my master's thesis.

which reminds me, if anyone has a good pot connection in the area, email me. i'm gonna need it.

hey-o.
