Okay, the last two entries are really short, and are being uploaded at the same time as this entry. They'd both been written on the dates given for them, but I had more to say in both cases, and was waiting until I got the chance to do so. That chance never came, and the prognosis for the next few days isn't very good, so I decided to forget it and just put 'em up already.

My site tracker makes me feel guilty on days when I don't post. On days that I do post, it's fine; I love to know that people are reading this thing. But when I don't, the more people visit, the guiltier I feel. People are coming expecting something to read, and I'm not holding up my side of the bargain. So I figure at least something is better than nothing...

Things are moderately crazy just now. I need to have a working version of the American Studies site done by Wednesday, and that's still in progress; I need to read up on the geology stuff I missed last Monday night when I was hearing the Megillah instead; I need to write about a couple of people for my acting class and read A Streetcar Named Desire; I need to write my next column for the college paper; and I need to clean my apartment, which has taken on added urgency, as my landlord needs to get to the backyard sometime this week -- which will require him to go through my apartment -- and I don't want him seeing the place the way it is right now. And those are the highlights; there's more I'm not touching on here.

Anyway, if updates are a bit spotty in the near future, that's why.

Alternately, if updates turn out to be daily from here on in, it'll probably be because I'm trying to avoid all of the above. So there's no telling what'll end up happening here. Although my money's on the former.

At any rate, that's the story, and thanks for continuing to read. Oh, and my latest column is available for the moment here, in Rich Text Format.

Although I liked Hilary Swank's acceptance speech also; particularly in her use of the male pronoun for Brandon Teena, which stood in sharp contrast to the announcer's use of female terms for Teena Brandon. Which reminds me that I've really wanted to see Boys Don't Cry, but haven't had a chance to do so. I hope I manage it before it leaves the theatres entirely...

As for American Beauty winning every award in sight, all I have to say is "Bah, humbug."
