Stopping To Take A Breath.

Was a mistake.

I’d like to start out today’s post by wishing a very Happy Birthday to Geoffrey. We really need to give you a pseudonym. Anyway Happy Birthday. Be sure to wish him one as well.

So, here’s a life lesson kids. Don’t ever think to yourself “Whew! What a hectic week. I’m glad it’s over. I’ll just take a moment to relax and catch my breath before the next round of stuff.” Don’t do it. I did that and now I might die.

Like most Thursdays, yesterday was crazy busy. The difference was that in addition to all of the normal busy work, I got some bonus drama icing to the crazy cake. So, let’s see what is going on.

I finally sat down and calculated the number and due dates of all of my assignments for my three classes. Or so I thought. During my history class this week, I learned about my role in the Trial of Galileo. Apparently, I have lectures to give in front of the cardinals who ultimately lead the Inquisition (the thing no one expects). In these lectures, I obviously have to be an expert on ancient math and astronomy. So, what you’re saying is that I have until Tuesday to learn all ancient math and astronomy and then get up and give a speech about it? Awesome. I’m sure glad that I don’t have anything going on this weekend. Oh, wait.

That’s right, I’m going down to Little Rock to visit Shooting Star press this weekend. Dammit.

So, before my surprise improved work load of stuff for my in-class roleplaying, I had a metric shit load of work that is due in five weeks. Now I realize it is more like metric fuck ton of work due in the next five weeks. I can’t forget to go buy my cap and gown either. Dammit.

So, then there’s that whole War Would III (see my YouTube channel concerning Dramatic Readings for the reference) breaking out in my family over something that a stoned/drunk guy might or might not have said, all based on the word of a person with severe mental illness.

And then there’s my poop. Which looked like the Ancient Egyptians that live inside my colon made it out of straw and cashew butter.

And Dave sent me this: New Drug. It’s quite brilliant.

So, yeah. I’d love to stay here and hang out with you all day, but I’ve got to buy a telescope and my graduation stuff. And plan a book workshop. And learn Greek math. And stop an Inquisition. No biggie. Have a great weekend. More soon. ~SC

    Thanks for the birthday wishes! It might be a little cliche’, but how about ‘the man with the plan’, or I’m sure you could come up with something pretty clever.
