Why don't you people go to bed?

Then again, why don't I go to bed?

Went to a roller derby tonight. Atlanta VS. Huntsville, AL. With my sister. It was like kissing my sister.

Actually, I had a good time. The flat tracks do lead to some bad wipe-outs. Remember those old roller derby matches on UHF TV?

because I have a paper to write. It's due tomorrow morning and I don't really know what the grader wants from it, so it's coming out pretty awkwardly.

I'm poking my head into the Cellar right now largely because I don't want to look at the paper.

I will write your paper...

...or at least "suggest" wordage. I am a historian and a writer, so just tell me the topic.

What do you have to lose?

Why am I up? Steroids.

I go to bed around 3am and wake up around 9/10am. I'll be thankful to get a full night's sleep once I'm done with the 'roids. We're trying to get me off them once again. ...been taking them for 18 months, I NEED SLEEP!
On the plus side, I'm getting a lot of sewing and quilting done.

LOVED watching roller derby on UHF!

You've misspelled 'screwing', love.

Selene climbs the walls when she has to take prednisone and the like. Its like living with a meth freak. She doesn't react well to steroids at all.

Integrity

You are correct, lumberjim.

That was more of a tactic to get the writer to reveal his "topic" so as to inspire more writing on his part. I would never write a paper for a student. In fact, I have to watch out for that bullshit in my own job.

As an [a] historian for the National Park Service, I am one of several people that recieve "Ask A Historian" questions from all of America. Usually they are so broad as to be rediculous' "What caused the Civil War?" Sure. Let me tell you the answer to that.

My desire is to get people, especially kids, to think. Think on their own. Kids are actually a lot smarter than we give them credit for. They are battered by so much crap that they feel they can't think for themselves.

Maturity is overated. I've met 6-year olds that are smarter than 43-year olds, more mature, too.

Woke up early, usually get up at 4am.

Flat track roller derby? Never seen that.
Yes, the UHF roller derby shows were pretty strange. Like pro wrestling of the same era. Wrestling has gotten more flamboyant and I imagine roller derby has too.

It's 5 p.m. here

However, I was awake at 3 a.m. this morning ... why? I don't remember. OH, right, I was playing with some HDR (high dynamic range) software. Anyone know much about it? I love the results.

Pangloss, what period of history do you specialise in? I am seven weeks into a BA in HIstory at Leeds University. Been meaning to go and do it my whole life, now finally am in a position to. By the time I am 45 I want to be published and lecturing :P

That quote belongs in the vault...especially if it's original!
