if your fingers are poised to type "m-e-t-a" after a bottle of wine you just might be a grad student

A Bottle of Whine

um, so last night in a fit of academic ennui and desperation over the paper, i drank a bottle of merlot, took some "smart pills" and, revivified (?) by this combo, came up with some interesting thesis points. the paper was merrily going along on its own path, marching to a beat of its own drum, making its own kind of music, not really wanting to end, or commit to a point.
just now i both sobered up and finished the paper. paper does not seem to be particularly comprehensible. i am pretneding that instead of emailing it to the professor, i sent it out into a black void. that helps (marginally).

Oh, sweets, it's never as bad as it seems. I know, it seems so bad that's not much by way of consolation. It also sounds like you're becoming a wine drinker. What happened to your whiskey fidelity? And where is my bushbot?? I. Need. It. Can't...continue...without it. Must...have it. Now. Bushbot, come to me.

whiskey is my "steady"; wine is just a "intoxicating" fling...i will check on bushbot brains (??) for your pleasure...
oy vey. i'll be happy when it's tomorrow night.

bushbot ain't for me...bushbot's for claire, she has an ibook, but the older one from the blue/orange/lime colors series...i am not sure what system it runs...some sort of older Mac OS i would guess...
hm maybe i want it on mine too now that i think of it...you know the ibook i have and didn't you upload OS 10 on it? or am i totally making that one up?
instruct me and hopefully i won't be totally ludditically stupid.
