the paper is smarter than i am

i'm having one of those awful moments when i am 100% certain i am too dumb and or do not have the time to finish this paper. and for this reason i have sworn off working on it. for at least an...hour...or two...*sigh* it's not fair that things like this can become such an important part of my life. there are important things i need to do out there... ah...oh well.

peter is leaving for south africa on saturday. and i can't imagine i will ever see him again. unless i can talk him into visiting new orleans. all of you, by the way, should spend some time in new orleans. it is fantastic. odd to say good bye to people and know that's the last you'll see them. it's just wierd. and i'll miss him.

in other news... *looks around and under chair* oh come on is my life really this boring? elle and i are supposedly going out for drinks tomorrow. which is good there should be more chocolate orange martinis in my life. and less of leigh hunt.
