Frazzled!

Not my Blythe doll, but a pic I've had for years. It represents my sheepish return to the bloggerverse.

Wow, ten days between posts. Way too long! I wish I could say I've had not one spare minute to blog, but I can't. I think the start of the semester made me crazy. Well, crazier. I have had a million blog post ideas, which I hope to get to eventually, but the desire to write them down isn't there yet. I decided to wait for inspiration to strike. It will, I can feel it.

Things I have brewing:

A review of "Batter Blaster," pancake mix in a whipped cream can you can keep in your fridge for whenever you feel like pancakes.

A review of Whip It, the roller derby movie. This segues into a review of Spring Breakdown.

A post about how much I love teaching and just realized how much it means to me this first week of classes, and how that apparently will get me nowhere in academia. Surprise! :(

A post about Howard Zinn (RIP), and how the person I am (and the teacher I am) today is monumentally different than the person who hadn't yet read A People's History of the United States.

A post about the upcoming Runaways movie.

A post about Blythe, my new doll, whom I will continue to refer to as a doll and not "my girl" like many Blythe fans seem to do. This post will also feature the art of Margaret Keane.

A post about my post-apocalyptic plans to/fantasy of being a marauding hit-woman.

A post about how Vampire Diaries needs to kill off Damon or amnesia-fy him or I won't continue to watch. This post may be affected by the previous post's residual anger.

See, I have ideas. Getting them to paper....er...virtual paper...that's the problem. Don't worry though, my last Fall semester paycheck just arrived. Next month my reduced pay will force me into seclusion. No new clothes, no nights out. More time to blog and write that thing I was supposed to be working on. What was that thing?
