Ok, I’m bored.
This whole no-job, no-study thing has palled.
Writing articles? I’ve tried, and now I’m bored.
Job? Can’t get one. Well, not an academic one (it is kind of a quiet time of year – and that fancy job in the US didn’t work out. :( ). I’m not ready to work at JB just yet…. though I could handle Basement Discs. But please – fourteen years of tertiary education to return to my retail roots? I don’t think so.
Domestic maintenance? I have to be bored – our house gleams. But that hasn’t helped our mouse problem.
Sewing? Done a lot, kind of over it.
Quilting? Yeah, same.
Crocheting? Well, it is pretty much crocheting season again – I can bear to have a lap full of wool once more. But really – this isn’t high brain stuff.
Compulsive dance practice? I’m looking for high brain stimulation, thanks.
Compulsive cooking? Getting there.
Compulsive shopping? Stalled by my lack of solvency. But encouraged by the proximity of good grocery shops and my renewed interest in eating-for-interest.
Fillums? Yes, many.
Television and DVDs? Yes, even more.
Gardening? Quietish, but on the horizon.
Ob-con laundry? Oh yes – ask The Squeeze about his drawers. Both types, actually.
Webbing? I’m just about to sort out the site for MLX7. And the MJDA site needs to go to a blogging program. But I’ve lost interest in FSP. Though I’m tempted to take it up again after some stooge thought that Frankie Manning story was for real. God, never heard of satire?
Reading? Reading (and read) far, far too many books lately. All fun books, and no productive ‘work’ books. But reading lots and lots of articles (I am pillaging the databases with my new, sneaky back-door access).
DJing? Boring. Bored. Like a drill. Sigh. That’s so 1939.
Yoga? Twice a week and thinking about a third session. Flexible? √ Strong? √ Calm? √ sort of. Bored? √
I think I should make my thesis into a book. I have no idea where to start or how to do it, though I have had a look at the MUP help guide. It’s not all that helpful, though. But really, what else am I going to do? I have 5 articles (or so – I forget exactly how many) coming out soon, and it’s only March. Even I’m sick of me and my articles. And I’m running out of journals to hassle. I need something challenging.
Anyone need a thesis written?

I don’t need a thesis written, but I am available for lunch sometime!
me!
I found this over at http://www.sauer-thompson.com/junkforcode/
…
“Miss Bayles, striving piously to concentrate on the music, sighs wearily: “Of all the distortions found in Marcus, the most glaring is his utter indifference to the fact that 1950s rock ’n’ roll was, above all, a dance craze.†For a moment, she trembles on the brink of great insight into rock ’n’ roll: those who can, dance; those who can’t, figure out some other explanation.
…
I’m confused.
I’m sure you can add to that confusion.
Can you bash out something over there or here?
Scotty: yes, I would love to eat sandwiches with you.
Glen: you hardly need anyone to write thesis for you – you’re a thesis machine!
FXH: I’ve had a look at the blog entry and review and will have a think. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
