professor boring.

few things today.

1. i am sitting in a pile of 18 books discussing hermeneutics and the legitimacy of the OT. i'm 3,200 words into a 5,000 word essay that is due in 25 hours. booya.

2. last night i went to get a DEW out of the pop machine since i've sucked my supply dry and the machine ate my money. i don't remember the last time i was that pissed. maybe when someone stole my wallet. but still, i think this was more upsetting at the time.

3. i was in the sem library yesterday looking for a book about judges and came across an exegesis of revelation that was literally written by a dr. boring. i wonder if he knew when he was a child that his last name would be manifested in biblical study. because let's face it, exegesis is incredibly boring.

4. sarah and i went to woltjer family christmas this past weekend, and i was disappointed in how tame it has become. it was a pleasant meal with light conversation. i remember the days when i would unwrap a birdhouse, or perhaps even a porcelain cat for a present and proceed to fake smile for the next hour. i didn't know how good i had it.

5. on the way back from WFC, there was fairly heavy traffic on I94. Ten minutes into the ride a car pulled in front of me with a dead and gutted deer carcass strapped to their trunk. they were in front of me for the next hour and i had to stare into an empty deer carcass for that entire hour. sick.

6. this final note is slightly embarrassing and i don't even know why i would broadcast it. i'm starting to like the band 'hanson'. it's fair to say they've helped me through this paper with their adequate mix of piano and guitar melodies. i refuse to say i love them because that would put two certain people over the edge and i'm not at that point yet. but i enjoy their music.

have a phenom tuesday, please.
