Essay #1 Complete!

It's a bit of a bummer to spend the course of an entire day (and then some) writing about how much love sucks but, hey, it's gotta be done. I was going to call it "Love is a Battlefield" but thought that would probably be a little too jokey for an academic paper, so instead I worked in a snazzy quote and called it "'Love-slain, lo, here I lie' : Love As Defeat". Anyway, this means I have about two hours between my morning and evening classes to get a headstart on essay number two. That one, of course, is due tomorrow, and I have to work tomorrow, so I imagine I'll be up quite late tonight.

Anyhow, on the subject of love, here's a reason to never, ever consummate your love. Ever. You might end up with the kid from hell. And, if you have kids, you can take solace in knowing that you're a better parent than what this kid has because he's clearly never been disciplined in his entire life. (via Scalzi's Whatever)
