Sluggish and lazy

Yep. Spring break is nice. I've played a couple video games (Oblivion mostly), slept in, stayed up late, and eating at normal times. I have pretty much reveled in running pants and t-shirts; no teacher costumes!

I've read and read and read. Trashy novels, academic texts, lots of stuff online.

I did some productive stuff:

  • read and annotated sources for my wiki research
  • Attended an event where one of my former BSU instructors, Will Weaver, spoke about the adaptation of his short story "A Gravestone Made of Wheat" into a film (Sweet Land).
  • stayed at my folks' place with daughter
  • worked on the wiki
  • read blogs
  • thought about lesson plans for next week
  • and other random bits

This weekend I'll go back to the folks' so I'm doing my part to stimulate the economy. I'm thinkin' that if gas prices do not drop this summer, that will put the kabosh on the road trips unless I get a rent a hybrid car, which would still be cheaper than driving my Jeep.
