So, as I was doing all that web-ly work this past weekend, I often found myself watching the Food Network. I’ve learned a few things in the process, and I’l share that with you in a short list.
- TV chefs have got to have the best jobs in the world. I mean, they get to spend all day in a kitchen, eating all the yummy food they make, and most of them get to showcase their alcoholism right there on the air! I mean, seriously, if your job is cooking and drinking, and you hook thousands of people into watching you cook food they could never make and drink drinks they will never mix, you’ve got it made.
- As simple as they make all those dishes look, I realized I could never actually cook any of that stuff in my home. Who has all those utensils? Choppers, peelers, smashers, not to mention the massive stores of herbs and spices. Personally, I’m doing pretty well to have salt and pepper.
- Why doesn’t anyone ever make, you know, Mamwich, Ramen, mac and cheese, etc? I mean, make some REAL food for once!
There was more, but Iron Chef Bobby Flay captured my attention, and well, I’m inspired to get cooking. PB&J, here I come.
Inching forward, miserable worm:
Incapable
Insipid
Irrelevant.
Wishing for warm cocoon’d escape
Inch.
Inch.
Inch.
Inch.
Nibbling leaves, barely surviving
A worm’s life—
life: does a worm deserve such lofty appellations—
Inch.
Inch.
Inch.
Inch.
Finding space, cocoon spun,
Safe!
Warm!
Metamorphing!
Time has wrought a marvelous change
From worm to beautiful butter—
Fall.
Deranged.
Mutant.
Something’s gone wrong.

Here’s the list of what needs to be done before the end of April with (approximate) due dates:
Constitutional Law Paper (3/31)American Lit presentation (4/1)lSpanish Country Presentation (4/1)Brit Lit presentation (4/2)Hootenanny (4/4) (Including rehersals all next week)Brit Lit Paper (Early April)American Lit Paper (Early April)Constitutional Law Briefs (Mid April)American Lit Journals (Mid April)Brit Lit Journals (Late April)Lit Crit Journals (Late April)Lit Crit Paper (Late April)Inklings Final (Late April)Inklings Reading Reviews (Late April)
I’m pretty sure that’s everything. I hope it’s everything, anyways. So, basically, between now and the end of April, I shall be living in the library. Forgive me if I’m not around the internets too terribly much for the next little while. I shall try to keep on top of things as best I can, though.
In case I don’t see you all, have a fantastic April!
I’ll cross items off as they get finished. Hopefully, I can knock out several things this week and weekend.

Utterz has been around for quite a while now, but I’m just now jumping on the bandwagon. I thought it would be fun to cross post some of my more serious or thought-provoking entries on Utterz, so you all could get a sense of how I read them. There’s a lot to be said for the unspoken communication that happens through tone and whatnot, so I thought it might be a fun experiment.
You can either give a listen to some of my Utterings via the new sidebar module, or you can go check out my Utterz profile.
My first Uttering is me reading the Juxtaposition 2. Let me know what you think!
