Read for important bits: [x] Love and Death in the American Novel (591/591) [x] The Sense of an Ending (180/180) [] Towards a Postmodern Theory of Narrative (278) <--- Do Friday.

Read for Real: [] Crime and Punishment (1/50 pages) <--- I win at the fail when it comes to the Russians. And calling the 130 pages of C and P I've read good enough. It's divide and conquer, slash and burn, get the idea at any cost, time. Effing exam. I hate "reading" this way. [x] The Sound and the Fury (75/75 pages) To Avoid until at least 90% of above is done: <--- I take it as a sign of great mental disturbance that I actually contemplated figuring a way to determine whether I had done 90% of the list.

11:15 am - Taking a Page from Sheffie's Book. And never giving it back. Muuuhahahaha. The theory is that if I'm accountable for it, I might actually do it. And posting it to IJ makes me accountable. Sure it does. That's the theory. Today Household and Things. --Roll coins as piggy bank is overflowing. (YES.) --Take out the trash. (Why does this always have to be such an ordeal? Just do it.) --Vacuum. --Go to PO. --Do something about bedroom closet before it falls on you and you die. --Go to the pool. --Do laundry. Need underwears. School and "Work." --Finish AT LEAST ONE of the four comps books in progress. --Write 1700 words. Before Saturday is out. --Finish another comps book. --Write 5000 words total. Heh.
