Must not procrastinate (some how my warped mind does not feel that posting is task avoidance).  Must get paper done.  Must read hundreds of pages of articles with titles like “Engendering Naturalism:  Narrative Form and Commodity Spectacle in U.S. Naturalist Fiction” or perhaps “The Display Window: Designs and Desires of Weimar Consumerism.”  Must write 12+ page paper about books I don’t really care for and about some obscure and original topic that will warrant me a decent grade.  Must complete power point presentation for class on Thursday.  Must write a page of indeterminate length to explicate my power point and show my deep understanding of Writing Across the Curriculum.  Must change clothes.  Must take a shower.  Must drink coffee.

Must thank Hubby, who after 12 hours of electrical work got all the wiring in the garage worked out and who thanks to I can now park in my garage without getting out of my car and opening the door manually.

Must say good-night. Must read now. Must poke sharp and hot sticks into both of my eyes.  Must never take another literature class again.  Yay!
