- I don't have anything to say about ACT UP and New Social Movements. Nothing. This is bad, because I'm pretty sure that's what my thesis is supposed to be about.
- I have to write a page or so about the Gay Men's Health Crisis.
- Both of the above things should be done by 3 am so that Sarah can edit them (lucky, wonderful Sarah!) and I can send the chapter to Y. by the end of the day, or by Friday morning.
- Did I mention that I'm brain dead? Seriously, those little electromagnetic probes would pick up a single wavelength of neural activity at this very moment.
- All I want from life right now is to go to bed with a bowl of caramel ice cream with chocolate chips and the second episode of <i>Big Love</i>.
- It's only midnight, which is too early for me to throw in the towel. Also, it's an if-then thing. If I stay up tonight (and tomorrow night, and probably Saturday night), then I never have to do this again.
- My skin wants to sleep. I can feel it starting to organize into nasty protest groups that look oddly like awful zits.
- On the other hand, my skin might have to suck it up, because my work environment is much better after midnight, because my parents are in bed, which means the TV is off and nobody is smoking.
- I'm pretty sure my dad thinks I'm dragging this out unnecessarily. Theoretically, I shouldn't care, becaGuse he hasn't got a clue what it's like to do this. One doesn't always live theory, however.
- I feel like I've lost weight. The scale doesn't agree. I'm going with my judgement on this one.
- Y. and I decided on committee members today! Now they just have to agree, and it's all a go! (Okay, it's a go anyway, but that's just one more step toward the end!)
- I really should save this last brain cell for the GMHC.
- OH! I have to talk about this. Very cool thing about ACT UP: they were critical to the use of T-cells as prognostic tools for AIDS patients. That wasn't even in English, but it's fantastically amazing that people without medical degrees could set that kind of protocol! They changed the way AIDS is defined! I'm not allowed to gush in the thesis, so I have to do it here.
- I continue to be completely addicted to this site. One day I'll return to my neglected livejournal.
- I am going to take put on pjs, take out my contacts, wash my face, and pull up my socks. That list bit can also be interpreted as 'take a prescription medication that has a street value.'
- Nope, fuck it. I can't work without sleep, and I can't sleep without a wee bit of down time, so it's going to be ice cream and tv after all. I think Criminal Minds instead, though, because deranged killers are apparently more comforting than polygamists.
- Oh, Lord, we have two kinds of ice cream, and the second one is Heavenly Hash, my most favourite ever! I have such love for my parents and the Nestle corporation right now.
