General update

A list:

• I am an inconsistent blogger and therefore a poor blogger.
• Today was a beautiful winter day in Oregon.
• I hadn't missed 3 days of work or school consecutively in years; but, I was sick from Tuesday afternoon until Sunday, today, only recently feeling a bit better.
• Randy Johnson is a fantastic addition to the Giants pitching staff. Too bad they still won't be able to hit. (Bring back Barry!)
• Midway through the second year of my MA program, I've finally written a paper I'm truly happy with. It hardly relates to my thesis and it's only 6 pages long, a careful look at Marlowe's move toward the Foucauldian "author function" in the Prologue of Tamburlaine the Great.
• I will have a beagle one day. One day, when Zoe is gone.
• My fantasy basketball team is up the upswing thanks to Kevin Love and Lamar Odom.
• I'm too short on time to include links in this blog because I'm behind in my work.
• My thesis will now focus on new media, rhetoric and composition studies through the work of Anne Wysocki.
• Lankshear and Knobel's section on "New 'Ethos Stuff'" in "Sampling 'The New' in New Literacies" is too simplistic but a nice introduction into talking about Web 2.0 and authorship.
• The Blazers need to move Raef's contract and Sergio.
• Curb Your Enthusiasm is now, probably, my favorite series.
• What's with all these little black gnats flying around town lately?
• I should have watched "The Last Waltz" a long time ago.
