  2. I've had a terrible weekend too (except that my work actually could have been avoided) but at least I got to read a Jeanette Winterson book for my essay.

    You have my sympathy. :)

  3. Share your pain, dude. Did you go on a junket? I had a pretty eventful weekend - betwixt Syriana, Walk the Line and India winning the match, couldn't have asked for things to be more complete. Hope to blog it all, but with the controversies that abound, looks like it's gonna be a race to the finish this Monday morning.
