just complaining again.

[bryiarrose]

i'm sick of everything taking me twice as long as it should.
dramaturgy project: forever and then some.
education bibliography: three whole hours.
scanning quilts into photoshop: over an hour and a half because fabio and whatever version of windows they're running bites.
history paper: much longer than it should.
this is an easy paper, and on something i'm actually enjoying writing about. but it's taking me for fricking ever. and why can't i find a stupid american history timeline anywhere on the web? you know, like every high school history book has inside the cover. you'd think they'd be all over, but no. i have no mind for dates and when attempting to put something in historical perspective, remembering when what happened, is kinda useful.
on the upside, i've reached a point of inevitability about what can and can't get done on time. so at least i'm resigned to it. also, pancakes. i like them. and they're a good study break. i should make them more often. but why does the first one always have to get messed up?

I have often wondered about that first-pancake phenomenon too. let me know if you find out.

[[hug]] Hang in there. There's gotta be an end to it somewhere. =)

actually, i think it in part has to do with the frying pan/griddle/whatever not being *quite* hot enough. but of course there's more to it than that or it would be easy to fix. some sort of cosmic pancake law or something that decrees the first pancake shall not flip properly. oh, and if you burn yourself during said attempt at flippage, it's Even Better. seems plausible at any rate.

my mom is fond of saying that children are like pancakes: you should always be able to throw the first one away. My older brother is not as fond of this saying.
