Oof, that's expensive.

So, it's entirely possible that I still haven't written my research paper.

Some of you may remember that it was mildly due last Thursday.

Unfortunately, my professor said he would accept it later.

Come on, George!

Why on earth would you say that to me?? If you give me extra time, whether or not I need it, I WILL TAKE IT.

Just some of the many important things I have been doing other than my paper:

  1. Sleeping as late as the neighbors' damn dogs will let me
  2. Deciding where to live in 2 years
  3. Contemplating my navel
  4. Cleaning the house
  5. Playing credit card Monopoly
  6. Cursing the restaurants that serve potato chips instead of french fries
  7. Flossing
  8. Eating sub-par Chinese food
  9. Wondering why the hell it's 70 degrees outside
  10. Locating a pet-friendly house for next year
  11. Figuring out why the frick I ate that nasty Chinese food
  12. Reading blogs
  13. Watching two outstanding Tom Hanks movies (Turner & Hooch, Splash)
  14. Dancing around the kitchen to In the Heights
  15. Making lunch
  16. Deciding if Pickles or JuJuBe is a better name for a Rottweiler
Which jackass decided it would be a good idea for me to be a grad student again?

That's right. This moi.

That sounds kinda like what I've been doing instead of writing my research paper.

Oh I LOVED In The Heights. Enough to actually splurge on a Broadway show. But my friends and I just had to go support a play that was all about us because Lord knows when that'll happen again.

Hope you get that paper done at some point.

Christina said...

Hmmm... that sounds a lot like my day, too.

And, if I get a vote, mine is for Pickles. ;-)

Hello!

Found you via SITS.

I loved Splash! Great movie.

You have me intrigued about credit card monopoly? What exactly is that?

Also, I'm not sure I understand the title of your post; what was expensive?

Nice blog!

Sara said...

Trendspotter,

The title comes from a former roommate who used to mutter, "That's expensive" whenever something was not going her way.

Thanks for visiting!

What did you learn about your navel? Maybe I need to study mine and see what's what.

omg, I JUST finished flossing myself!

Carrie said...

I KNOW!!! i HATE restaurants that serve potato chips instead of fries. i didn't come to a restaurant to eat something i could have gotten from a vending machine... or homeless man.

also,

is it just me or does the phrase "flossing myself" sound dirty to you too?

oooh deadlines arent meant to be broken? Ü. I am going to have to rethink my whole philosophy of life. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Michelle said...

I too am a major procrastinator. I tend to bake when I don't want to do papers. Example: I made rainbow cupcakes today.

And reading tons and tons of blogs. Discovering them has set me wayyy back.

... and I think everyone is wonders why, oh why, restaurants insist on serving potato chips instead of fries. No one wants them. No one.

Michelle said...

Oh and PS. After you brought up the fantastic idea of Urban Dictionary I went and checked *just* to be sure.

Nothing there, maybe I should add one to stake my claim on Roses and Peaches??

Oh my goodness. I absolutely put off every item I ever turned in at school. Too funny. Thanks for stopping by and following my blog. I will follow you blindly as well. Mostly because you remind me of me....you poor dear.

Hey thanks for visiting my blog! I can totally relate to your post - my lecturer gave us a 1 week extension and all that means is that I will procrastinate and feel guilty longer. Always the way!

But in the meantime I hope you enjoy Shadow of the wind - let me know what you think :)

i vote for pickles.

so.... guess where i am moving after this whole mess is done... Indy! (long story.... and only until me and Tyler can save up enough to move elsewhere... keep ur fingers crossed that he says yes to NYC.)

Unknown said...

Well, I too vote for Pickles... but you better have a good reason for naming him that.

Navels are interesting things... especially before you have children. Just don't smell your belly button lint. I did it in Jr. High, I swear! DON'T DO IT!

I agree that the money you spent paying for grad school would be better spent than contemplating your navel... but I think it's good money spent on Tom Hanks movies.
:) Get er done!

Melissa said...

LOL! as a fellow procrastinator, I think giving a procrastinator more time to do something is like giving a drug addict more crack ;) good luck with that paper!

Sara said...

Nathanael-

Indy will be lucky to have you! Oh, and we now have multiple Grand Traverse Pie Co.s, so you will definitely need to make that place your new best friend.

I love both names for the Rottweiler. Cute! Good luck with your paper and grad school.

Deb said...

Deadlines are made to be pushed. Good luck!

I was pretty sure I was the Diva of Procrastination and finding other things way more pressing than whatever it is I should be doing, but I must admit you do give me a run for my money!
