leaving this desk for the red rock desert

i've been at my desk all week working on a paper...which of course i have thrown in the trash

as i've realized i need to start from square one. oh the joys of literary criticism.

part of me wonders if i should even be going on a little road trip down south to the desert this weekend

since i've got a lot of writing to do, but that part of me, fortunately, is quite faint.

i think i'm too tired to worry about being responsible this weekend...

though i will be bringing my laptop, books, and notes with all intentions of waking before the rest of the crew

to think about essential movements of a culture, the macro and the micro, represented in a travel novel.

wish me luck.

can't wait for a little sunshine and vast, beautiful scenery to bathe in.

happy weekend!
