There are certain movies that just don't let you down, no matter how many times you have seen them. The Big Lebowski is that kind of movie. It just gets more and more funny each time I see it. This time we watched it because Sammers was in a bowling mood and she's the birthday lady, so we did whatever she fancied. Happy Birthday Sammers!!
To celebrate we started out at a sweet little restaurant called Culina's...Just off 99 Street and about 86 ave. Then we were late getting to the bowling lanes, sorry dudes, but we got in a few games before going home to watch a movie...and why not a brilliant movie about bowling....just to top it off! YAY! (Thanks to The Dude and 'La Maison Blanche Video Rentals' for the late night loan)
Yesterday I went to the Library to research my paper but more specifically I came to update my blog...(**grumble, stupid computer at home won't let me publish, grumble**) and they closed down at like 5:30. It really sucks. So today I have been here since 11 a.m. and got a fair bit accomplished. I have a Kiddy Lit 389 Paper due on Tuesday. The resource desk Dude rocks, he helped me find a bunch of articles and stuff. What would I do without these librarians? I have to compare two authors in my essay. I picked the rational moralist Dorothy Kilner and The evangelical 'Sunday School Moralist' Favell Lee Mortimer. Mortimer was the first to use flash cards. And Kilner was the first to use animals in stories but give them human attributes...mmmmm...animism. I shall finish writing it tomorrow. Boooooring. Is it bad that it is Saturday and I just got my research done?
I like being on campus on Saturday. Walking here was very peaceful, the wind might be crisp and chilly and the leaves were whipping in my face, but I enjoyed the walk because the hectic pace of the week seems gone from campus. In its place is a kind of tranquil, calm in the air. Plus when you go to the info booth in SUB there is no lineup! YAY! Got my ticket for the 'Smos game on Monday!
Now if I can just get that paper done before then! Perhaps a better quote for this post would have been from Bernard Meltzer: "Hard work is often the easy work you did not do at the proper time."
Bah! 'Proper time'? That is not in my vocabulary....'beer time' I understand and it sounds to me like proper time might conflict so to be safe I'll just have to drop that whole idea....Sorry Mr. Meltzer.

arrgggh.
Yeah, so much for getting the paper written today. Stupid girl-drink-drunk. I woke up hungover. So I got up and turned on my computer. Did laundry. Took books out. Watched Treasure Island. Refreshed screen on computer, launched word. Finished laundry, cleaned my room and went to gran's for turkey dinner. Came home, checked email. Opened Word. Looked at books. Made list of Works Ccited.
Wrote 80 words. Watched The Simsons. Made popcorn. Talked to Mr. Speaker. We are both expert procratinators.
And now I am here, posting this.
That is some good time suckage. Should I venture over to Webboard? tee hee...
Well at least I have a list of works cited. I recommend doing it first...It seems to be easier, plus I hate doing them at the end because they are very frustrating to me. So that is done!
What a sad, sad state of affairs. Clearly this paper will be written, drunkenly, after the 'smos game tomorrow.
Yay long weekend!
