In case anyone is reading this...

1. Had to drop my class. No time. I am planning to take it online next quarter instead.
2. How do you house-train a puppy who likes to be outside and play outside but does not like to relieve himself outside and will wait to go potty until you take him back inside?
3. Is Britney really bipolar? I think she's a spoiled brat with narcissistic personality disorder. I am writing an essay about this, sort of--more about where the line is between what you can and can't help, where mental illness gives way to personal responsibility and vice versa.
4. Speaking of bipolar, I am reading the last Tim Dorsey novel that's out in paperback, Hurricane Punch. What am I gonna do for the next 11 months as I wait for Atomic Lobster to cycle through the hardcover phase? No Serge A. Storms fix? I was trying to pace myself, but the books are way too addictive for that. If I had half as much fun as Serge when I quit taking my meds, I'd never swallow a pill again.
5. Occasionally, in trying to catch up on reading the books I've stockpiled for years, I come across one that is delightful and surprising and makes me realize there's an entire ouevre of work by this author that I haven't even tapped. The Certificate by Isaac Bashevis Singer is the most recent of these. How have I never read him before?
