I haven’t been very diligent in updating this blog, but thanks for your constant interest.

Yes, I can see you on my blog stat tracker.

Anyway. I realize that it takes me forever to update, and I’m not always funny, I’m not always interesting, and sometimes I’m annoyingly introspective. Regardless, enough of you have come often enough to bump me up to over a thousand hits, so thank you for reading despite all the aforementioned flaws.

I should not do homework while I watch t.v. Forget the obvious reason why: I don’t pay attention to my homework and instead watch Law & Order… last night I had another realization why it’s a poor idea for me to attempt my Calculus homework while watching t.v.

I was spread out all over the couch – a lab to be turned in next Tuesday on my left, two pencils with which I had to repeatedly do the “fast grab” to keep them from disappearing forever into the abyss of my couch, notebooks, papers, computer, calculator… and me, on a loveseat.

I hate this.

“Jessica, what are you doing?”

What are you talking about? I’m knitting. I’m packing… I’m obviously struggling with differential equations.

“No, what are you doing?”

I’m trying to figure out how to put the this modified square root into the calculator.

“With the remote?”

What?

The cable box is scrolling through 4×2-the cubed root (I can’t figure out how to input it on the computer, either) of x, and understandably freaking out.

Shoot.

“I’m going to take that back now.” Dad takes the remote away from my confused little hands. “There’s your calculator.”

I’ve been suspended from remote duty.

It takes the cable box a few seconds to figure out that we want to change the channel to TNT, not figure out the marginal cost of producing 100 tacos.

I should either stick to Law & Order or Calculus. I obviously can’t do both.
