Insert catchy title here

Still bummed about Heath Ledger. Kind of sickened by the media circus (which I am, in a way, feeding), which surprises me because I'm usually all about random celebrity stalking. Maybe it's because Ledger wasn't usually in the tabloids much, so this seems unusual.

AWP is 7 days away. I'm not ready. It seems too soon. I'm not even adjusted to the semester yet.

I'm having to be more of a disciplinarian in my classes this semester than I have in the past. Strange to hear myself yelling (to be heard over all the errant talking, not because I'm mad).

Borrowed this (Eric W. says it's the best book he's read in ages) and this today. Yesterday, I read this. Hopefully I'll have time to post something literary soon.

I've been a bad, bad associate editor. I didn't tell you we got issue 1 back from the printers. Then again, most of you read Mary's blog, too, so you already knew.

I bet you want a copy real bad. I think you should pick it up next Thursday morning when I'm working the table. Don't wait around for Mary to show up in the afternoon.

That's all. Time for bed.
