Ugh.

Today/tomorrow is going to be a bad day.

My dad's mom has a doctor's appointment at 10am. Dad is in a meeting all morning. Mom can't get out of work. My brother has class. Ergo, it falls to me.

My paper's not even CLOSE to being finished. I haven't showered. I obviously haven't slept. I'm seriously considering not going to Italian and only showing up to Social Theory to drop off my paper.

Assume I (miraculously) manage to finish my paper by 6am. That's three hours of sleep before I then get up and go take my grandmother to the doctor's. Home by noon (hopefully), and I have to watch AMC tomorrow, because Bianca's gonna kiss Maggie. <G> (WATCH IT. 1pm Eastern, 12pm Pacific, ABC. WATCH!) That leaves me from 2pm until 3:30 before I have to leave for Italian. Not enough time to sleep. I'd only get about forty minutes in, and it would be restless, because I'd know I'd have to wake up.

This means going to Italian and Social Theory on three hours of sleep. Maximum.

Fun, fun.

To keep me amused and/or entertained during my paper writing, I've made a new iTunes playlist, which I'm now listening to.

And now I will talk about Wicked and AMC and The West Wing. See, Wicked, in case you didn't know (and no, jessruth, I know you know!!) is currently a fairly popular musical that describes the long-time friendship between The Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, in The Wizard of Oz. And apart from jessruth's talking about it, my only exposure to it is the news that at the All My Children 35th Anniversary Concert on February 7th, Eden Riegel (Bianca) and Liz Hendrickson (Maggie) will sing For Good, a song from Wicked.

Naturally, I needed to hear this song. A friend gave me a WMA, but I can't burn a protected WMA, so I went and bought it from iTunes tonight. (Random tangent -- iTunes rocks so hard I can't even explain it. I'd had trouble downloading it while the store was having issues, and it was going to charge me AGAIN when I clicked the button again when the store was back up, which made me very grumpy. But then it told me to click the option of Check Purchased Music and it automatically started downloading the song without charging me again! <makes out thoroughyl with iTunes>)

And I'm like... I know this Kristen Chenoweth person who's one of the singers.

She's Annabeth on The West Wing! The short, short person working in the Communications department! The one who cracked me up by like, sneaking up on CJ unexpectedly in an episode a couple of weeks ago. Annabeth is cool! And Annabeth apparently spent a chunk of time on Broadway playing Glinda in Wicked! How wicked is that? (I couldn't resist. Don't shoot!) So that is just very cool to me.

For those that are interested, Eden will be singing Glinda's part, and Liz will be singing Elphaba's. Also, the song makes me cry when I think about them leaving AMC.

And, finally, before I get back to work on this paper, I did the 6 degrees meme thing again. (see previous entry):

I picked "charmed" because that was on TV.

charmed -> rogue_nightwing -> _swallow

It happens that _swallow is a friend of moireach and poisoninjest and yahtzee63. Which is, BTW, the shortest distance between me and charmed. I rock! This could be very addictive.

Okay. Back to Durkheim and anomic suicide.

Note to self:

Emile Durkheim was a pig, but he said this:

"To pursue a goal which is by definition unattainable is to condemn oneself to a state of perpetual unhappiness. Of course, man may hope contrary to all reason, and hope has its pleasures even when unreasonable. It may sustain him for a time; but it cannot survive the repeated disappointments of experience indefinitely."

So Durkheim was a pig. But a smart pig. That bastard.

(Oh! New icon from shiningmoon's visual meme for me! *smooches*)

I spam when I write papers. Deal.

I hate, in order from most to least:

- Emile Durkheim
- Classical Social Theory
- Lack of sleep
- Worrying
- Sunrise

Comment. In the same format, give me the top five things you hate more than anything else at the moment. (And let's ignore war, poverty, famine, etc. Let's be very selfish and personal.)

<yawns>

Okay, fuck the paper.

Bedtime now. Up in an hour and a half to take my grandmother to the doctor. Back home by noonish. Lunch then. AMC at 1.

Paper from 2pm on, until it's finished. Skipping Italian, going to be late to Social Theory, likely.

But I'm understanding what Durkheim is saying about egoistic suicide. And you should be proud of me for that.

woo.

Disjointed entry from class.

- tiiiiiiiiired. Am coming down from sixth wind. I'm not kidding. Have not had any caffeine. Go me.
- Paper done, handed in. It sucks. Am now in class learning about Simmel.
- omg, the BAM stuff on AMC today was fan-fucking-tastic. Seriously. Amazing. <swoon> I swear.
- still very tired. Have to do a stats assignment before school tomorrow. This will not be fun.

Can I go to bed now? Please? One hour of sleep in 28 hours of consciousness? Not cool.

I burned a CD last night and am looking forward to playing it on my way home tonight.

Dammit, I'm starving, too.
