This started as part of an effort to dig myself out of a mild depression: I figured that if I compiled to do lists instead of throwing them out, I could combat the feeling that I never accomplished anything. It has become a series of commentaries and semi-incomprehensible mini-reviews of my primary forms of entertainment: food and movies.
Right now: Write Cham sections and put C3 together.
Feburary: Try to rewrite C4. This will involve i) More close readings of the play ii) situating the texts better with plot summaries and lists of performances iii) A new intro iv) Rereading Agamben and figuring out how to manage this adjacency issue. v) Writing the CalArts women thank you notes.
ARCHIVE OF THE DONES: Write a coherent teaching statement. Prep for mock interview. DONE! Grading. DONE! MLA paper. DONE! Write a hard-core postdoc app. DONE!
Pay off my tickets: 1) figure out how to pay Glendale ticket 2) go to traffic school.
Call electrician about that wierd buzzing sound that occurs every time I turn on the kitchen light.
Clean up car: DONE! Suze Orman would be proud. **And now the car is dead. Correlation?
Pay down debt (currently $480.41): DONE! I'm credit-card debt free!! Now, onto the student loans, although those should be paid by the sale of the condo, when I move. **And now I want to cancel that card with its stupid fees.
Figure out car insurance: DONE! I'm insured. **And now that my car is broken, I need to figure out how to de-insure myself.
Call Khoa: DONE! Unfortunately, the bathtub is leaking--a more pressing problem than the grout. DONE. However, now there is a gaping hole in the garage ceiling--perhaps not the best solution for stopping a leak. **And now I'm going to take up this problem again because the shower water is lukewarm at best and I like my water hot hot hot. So here we go again with a new set of plumbers. When i find a new set of plumbers.

Sadly, it's useless and nothing but a towel to sop up the water that seeps past the shower door will do. Sigh.**Now, I'll have to get a rubber mat for the bathroom: DONE! And it works!
