In other news...

I now have a projected outline for my Lotus Sutra paper and a to-do list that, if diligently followed, should enable me to submit a rough draft of said paper to my adviser by Friday (and still get everything else done, too). I'll be exhausted by the weekend, but I'll have gotten done what needed to get done. So, we can tally that up on the side of "good."

Other "good" things include the prospect of free pizza in the next hour-and-a-half and the fact that Bret Michaels totally picked the girl I wanted him to pick to be his next Rock of Love.

Hell, we all gotta blow off steam somehow...
