What a Relief

Today was a day for the gods! (LOL inside joke)

God was truly on my side today (well, he always is); 'twas pretty much a fabulous day. And by that I mean nothing bad happened, and things that could have been bad actually turned out great. I missed lunch (again) to work on the Ren Lit project, on which Sistah Girl and I got great feedback from. Considering I'd spend most of the night and most of this morning working on it, I was super-glad that we were able to rock out with our cocks out--so to speak--on this project. Be that as it may, though, I can't keep missing meals, it makes my tummy poke out weirdly, like I have coke bloat, a la Amy Winehouse. Not a good look.

My next Shakespeare paper is on Venus and Adonis, the tale of the goddess of love's attempt to attract the attention of her desired: an adolescent boy. He has no interest whatsoever in her. Should be good. I listened to Usher's "Confessions" this afternoon while I researched it. I forgot how much I liked that CD. "That's What it's Made For," anyone?

I even worked out today. My body screamed in protest at first, reminding me that it's not meant to gorge on cookies and sleep in. I was sprawled practically spread-eagle on the floor for a minute there...I know I've said this before but I really like my legs. My cheerleading nickname was "Praying Mantis" 'cause I had the longest legs on the team, lol. Oww. Cue body screaming in protest again. Damn I need a massage or sumthin' or tomorrow I'll be bedridden. And not in a good way.

Sidenote: Top Chef, if your paper's not done by Tuesday, I'll make good on my threat to beat you senseless with that loaf of bread. Be forewarned! :)

If all goes well I should be in bed early tonight. And by speaking it, I've just sentenced myself to staying up until 2am. If I do, I'll be productive, I've still got to watch "One Tree Hill," "Gossip Girl" and "The Game." And a new episode of "The Hills" comes on tonight. Staying on top of the gems of television is a lot to do on a regular basis. But for the sake of sophistication, I will press on.
