updated sporadically from the library
2pm--
ah.... the library. Despite this being a hellish place, sitting by the large floor-to-ceiling windows aren't bad. Less like a mausoleum.
Ah hah! meme *isn't* short for memetics, memetics is the study of memes! (Which m-w.com tells me is pronounced "meem")
After all this failed bidding, I finally broke down and got a printer power cord for a "buy it now" price of $14.99+shipping. This seller looks trustworthy.
2am--
So I was on the 2nd floor for an hour after the library officially closed before I was "caught" and sent downstairs to the A-level. This is actually quite interesting. My first time using the all-night study space! Once again, I'm sitting by windows. <3 I love chillin' by windows. Suddenly the long drop-off out the windows on the first floor makes sense... so that there's windows in the basement! How exciting! So sad that my bed has no headboard, else I can lean against it and look out the window at home while I do my readings.
So yeah, it's quite well established that I'm a horrible writer of papers. Usually my approach is to think of thesis, make my arguments as they appear logical in my head, and then add support as my circumlocutory rhetoric allows. This usually causes the problem that some of the points would not be presented clearly or defended adequately, and I get my papers back with responses like "you didn't explain this" or "you're reading this wrong", when in fact, it's just that I forgot to explain that bit because it all made sense in my head. This time, since it's a 20-page research paper, I'm gonna go the way of "kruft and cheese", wherein I read and quote and interpret according to a loose direction (bottom-up Austrian nationalism vs. top-down right-wing Nazi victory in being more crucial to the Anschluss and Austria/German nationalism), and when I build up a sufficient amount of loose kruft, I'll sort through and organize into paragraphs that will hopefully each support some greater thesis.

I just noticed that a) my sandal tan from the summer is slowly disappearing, and b) my feet are kinda cute, in that pudgy short-toed sort of way. Completely inefficient feet I have-- no foot arch to speak of, heels that jut differently, and toes so short as to make articulation futile and sandals difficult. Yet when viewed from a certain angle, they do have a certain degree of cuteness. But then again, I think feet are beautiful things.

2 hour snoozing is completely surreal. :D I wish the harddrive noise were not so loud. Or that it'd stop spinning when I'm like... not using it...
