Spring Slump continues.

I managed to type a whole sentence on my novel. Go me. Somedays, you have to remind yourself that progress is progress. Even if it's microscopic progress made at the rate of which glaciers overtake continents.

So I figure, if you do the math, by the time I finish my novel the continents will have gotten back together. Which'll be great, because then I can just take the land bridge over and say hi to everyone in Russia.

*But*, to my credit, I've been faithful to embodiment. A lot of entries are now just about me kvetching and being tired and promising myself that really, really *really* I will get off my duff and do something. I've fallen behind on my plan to be a more visual journaler as well. Still, an entry is an entry.

I think even after I get out of college, I'll continue to take night classes. Particularly history night classes with semi-young professors who have great senses of humor and who can make Pope jokes out of MC Hammer lyrics.

No, really. I can prove it:

Student A: So, uh, between the two Popes* which was, I guess, legit-er

Professor: Legit-er?

Student A: Yeah, legit-er

Professor: Well, that's an answer I'll get to in just a second...(tap on mouse to forward slide show) I guess they were both just too legit to quit.

Class: *groans*

(*For the history buffs on the f-list, this is in reference to the Avignon Papacy aka the Babylonian Captivity in which the Pope temporarily set up shop in Avignon, France because it was a lot nicer in the summer than Rome and there were less riots and he'd already built a palace there and moved in and you know, once you get your palace how you want it with the curtain and the furniture and the bishops, its really hard to make yourself leave)

In fact, I think I'll do a "greatest hits" quotedump at the end of the semester. Because history is a lot funnier than most people think. Especially when you learn that during the Middle Ages, that several churches claimed to have the foreskin of Jesus Christ as a relic*. I am not making this up people.

(Again for the history buff, the Catholic Church doctrine teaches that Jesus ascended whole and bodily into heaven. However, Jesus was *Jewish* and as a good Jew would've been circumsized and there's nobody to say where the foreskin of Jesus ended up. Luckily in the middle age they found the foreskin. All five of 'em. Because apparently, Jesus was circumsized a lot.)

Also: Anyone know anything about iPods? I need help.

Hehehe.

Well, there is squee in mine. And a few pretty pictures. And gleeposts.

But mostly, it's kvetching.

BTW, what's your project?

Well, it's not so much a project as... 24 journals full of words, words, words, and occasional html. I started keeping it right after spring break of sixth grade and have been pretty much daily faithful to it since then, even if I only write a sentence or two.
