All of my work for Crisis Comm. evaporated into the ether this week. It took me a good two days to regain my composure afterwards, but I finally managed. Now it's round two - or sixteen, depending on how you look at it.
Also, I got my quarter-assed (if you will) Horror exam back. I got a B-. I didn't read Dracula, Hideaway, or any of a dozen short stories. I don't know whether to pat myself on the back or vomit.
On the coursework front, I could slave at my notebook for the next thirty-six hours straight and still not be able to see the daylight at the end of the proverbial tunnel. I am daunted by this, yes, but I also have two pounds of coffee beans. Bring it on.
This entry was out of order. *shrug* Care not, I.

The funny thing about rough patches is that we all come out of them realizing more about ourselves than we may want to know. During my last bout with depression, I was pretty sure that I was not a nice person, and then I realized that many of my "friends" we causing me stress and thus causing me to be "not so nice."
So I had to clean house.
My favorite book by Neil Gaiman is probably American Gods, it's amazing, wonderful, and I think about it at least once a day. Although he doesn't write many comic books any more, he still writes like a comic book writer, and I can visualize everything that he writes as if it was illustrated right there on the page.
As far as the latest Coheed & Cambria album, I am not so sure. I have only heard two songs from it ("A Favor House Atlantic," and "Blood Red Summer"), but I find it to be wholly enjoyable, as far as those two songs go.
Instead, right now I am listening to PJ Harvey's Uh Huh Her, Le Tigre's This Island, The Killers Hot Fuss, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Abbatoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus, and Interpol's Antics.
