in the red...

well it's crunch time folks, i have a meeting with my advisor at 9am and it's looking like its going to be a LONG night of finishing up some results/analyses for discussion...and when I say it will be a long night...well you know what i mean.

so the obviously logical thing to do at this point is update the blog.

***

ok to further enhance my procrastination break i just got off the phone with my sister (author of the infamous 'random ramblings') for about 40 min. nice...this leaves me with about 8.5 hours before my meeting!

i digress. wait, crunch time...that was it, ok back on track. why do us david's have to push everything to the limit with deadlines, etc? i don't work well in the clear, only when it's down to the wire and sleep is no longer an option. perhaps someday that will change, or perhaps i'll find a profession better suited for that sort of behavior...although now that i think of it, and everything i have learned from the PhD comic strip, i'm just about on track. at least i'll be more understanding of my students in the future when i'm teaching as a professor. hopefully my sisters are still around at that point to give me fashion advice, because i am NOT going to become one of those profs you see around campus with the bow-ties and weird suits. never. ok maybe once.

so i'm starting my third can of red bull (note: i drank 4.5 on the drive back up from atlanta...so i could almost drive back out to the georgia aquarium at this point), as i picked up this latest can from the fridge, james said it looks like i'm 'cruisin for a bruisin'...i guess we'll see, but i fully intead to sleep off my red bull-induced zombie state tomorrow afternoon. did anyone else see the office season finale tonight? it was hilarious, but ended with quite the drama...should be interesting next season.

so today i managed to apply a comparable amount of enthusiasm to the red sox/yankees game
(comparable amount to college football). i don't know if i should be keeping that up as i tend to really get into games, or (gasp!) any sort of competition which i feel even loosely connected to. i made enough noise to the point where james was asking what was going on downstairs (he was upstairs on the phone). either way it was actually a very entertaining game (plus the break for my name is earl/the office didnt set me back any with what was going on) and i think (with some help) i'm actually learning a decent amount. although i can't believe the indians are below .500 now...UGH.

ok there is probably plenty more i could talk about at this point, but i should really get back to work. hope you all have/had a good night! <:><

thanks for making my current lack of friends public solo....on your blog AND my facebook wall.
no worries, you'll get your's...especially since i have all this free time to conjure up some sort of payback plan. all right, it's 1:20, i realize just woke up 20 minutes ago...but a nap is shortly to follow.


ps- if i have it my way you WILL be one of those creepy profs that wears suits and bowties...no worries we'll make sure that the colors at least correspond with whatever school you're teaching at.
