Philip - Day 9

9:04 - 1 Slimfast

My head hurts, and I hardly drank at all. That and it's starting to get hot and muggy again after raining softly all night, so everything feels greasy and nasty, even after taking a shower. Why do I have to be so sensitive to barometric pressure? Stupid barometric pressure. Stupid contributing factors.

I don't want to write an essay on Alice in Wonderland, even if it's only two pages. I just can't think of anything to say about it, really. Not anything I'd want to continue talking about with Stringam, but there's only one more class left. I have to figure out how I'm going to do my presentation for her. That will definitely be interesting. So, today, write a 2 page response for Alice, a presentation for my term paper, a 2 page response to the first act of the Tempest, and a 2 page response to the second act of the Tempest, ... and that should be it.

Still haven't done my exercises today. But it's early. And everything feels sticky. Stupid weather.

16:06 - 2 cookies, 1 bbq chicken and havarti sandwich, 1 apple, a handful of bbq Baked Ruffles, 2 juiceboxes, and 1 glass of apple juice

Went to the grocery store and picked up a lot of breakfasty stuff that will all taste good. The doggies have food too, so we're all fed and happy. Watching the Crucible with Kaitlin and reading TMNT comics I downloaded off a torrent. Both are mildly enjoyable and provide a nice distraction from actually doing homework. Turns out I'm not so desperate to get things done, so that's a bit of weight off my shoulders. I still have to have the Alice paper in on Tuesday, but nothing else really needs doing until next Sunday, which is a long way away. Made some progress on the comic today, but only the script and vague ideas of page layout. The more I do, the more excited about it I get, which is a good sign.

20:58 - 3 cookies, 2 glasses of apple juice, 1 turkey enchilada, 4 Rolling Rocks, and a bag of mini Doritos

I haven't smoked. Honest. But there's a good chance I'll be gone before the end of the night, in which case, I'll probably have to add more food to the list. But come Hell or high water, I will do at least some of my exercises. Also, American Dad is much better than either Simpsons or Family Guy. Kait's enjoying the Hellboy comics as far as I know. In any case, it's been a pretty good night, even if it's been too damn hot. Which is probably why I've been drinking so much in the first place. I would switch to water, but as Kait, Ryan and I discussed last night, the amount of water it would take to produce drunk-ish feelings, and the amount of water that would be fatal are probably not far enough from each other to not have hazardous results. So there.
