Let's admit we made a mistake, but can we still be friends?

Afternoons are such a struggle. I'm so much more productive in the morning, even when I think I'm not being productive. In the afternoon, I think I'm working, but look at the clock and look at the output and wonder, how the hell did it take this long? But I can do some things well in the afternoon. I can ride my bike to the post office. I can take naps. I can have good IM conversations. I can go for walks. That's about it.

Evenings are fifty-fifty. Tonight I don't have much choice, I gotta get this done. And to my own credit, I know WHAT I'm going to write, in my annotations, in my learning analysis, in my critical paper, etc. etc. I just need to do it. But the latter doesn't happen without the former and sometimes I'm really not procrastinating, I'm thinking. No really.

Note to self: stop using the phrase "put [them] in their place". It feels really really yucky and condescending and self-righteous and judgmental on the receiving side.

I'm listening to the itunes on my laptop and the "hip hop violinist" just came up, which is kind of a joke I have with limenal after my visit because she got this CD and she is so not hip-hop, even though she's had all these articles in magazines listing her as such. There are no turntables. No samples. No MCing. No graffiti. And one cannot b-boy to it. In fact, the CD itself said "File Under Jazz". And I would actually add file under "smooth jazz". Which, I know, sounds pretty icky, but it's still kind of appealing. Even if it does sound awfully like the theme song to Bob and Margaret, that weird british cartoon on Comedy Central several years back. Yeah, I said it.

Tonight I'm teaching with Moos and we're doing linoleum cut prints which makes me excited and happy, but also a little weird because I know I'll be thinking of her the entire time I'm carving.

Mornings are productive for me too. Trying to work in the evening is a sick joke I play on myself. Oh, and smooth jazz can be appealing. I have this horrible feeling when I make it to old man status (cross my fingers) that I'll be a regular smooth jazz radio listener. Actually, most everything can be appealing when in the right state of mind. Except maybe some of that rap-rock stuff. It makes me cringe.
