A pre-bed 'this and that'

I'm working on what's turning into an essay on a theory that I have that an increasingly dominant subset of my generation's sense of humor is at least in part derived from the influence of Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs (and to a lesser extent Freakazoid). Whether anyone ends up agreeing with it or not, I'm having fun writing it. I hope to have it posted at some point this week. I've also written a bit of the second part of my (hypothetical at this point) series on atheism, which of course is as irregular as anything I try to do on this blog has been (and, lets be honest, probably will be).

Life's going well at the moment. I was accepted to The New School for Social Research, though I am going to have to defer a year, as I am financially incapable of moving to New York at the moment. I'm hoping to save this coming year, reapply for financial aid next spring (and hopefully get more than I did this time around), and then go in Fall '09. I'm also planning on applying to a few other places in the interim, which is what I intended from the onset of this process. The New School's due date was significantly later than the due dates of the other schools to which I'm applying, and I wasn't ready to apply anywhere when the other applications were due. I'm certainly ready now, though I think I'll take the GRE again and actually allow myself time to properly study this time.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Other entries to come, but the editor in me won't let go of these topical entries, so I just keep hitting 'save now' and rewriting, never clicking 'publish post.'

And now I'm escaping as I'm teetering over the edge of making this a metablog (if it isn't already), and god knows we don't need one of those.
