Eating For Two
Don't worry: the only thing I'm pregnant with is a thesis. It's been nine months in the making, though, and I'm nearing the final days before delivery. I've got to keep my strength up for the arduous process ahead of me.
It's often said that pregnant women crave pickles and ice cream (although I have it on good authority that McDonald's Filet o' Fish–no cheese–is much more appetizing). Since the only extra hormones I'm producing are stress-related, I have been craving (and eating) nachos and ice cream. Hopefully this will keep me going until The Blessed Day when I turn in my thesis.
Please don't call me. I can't talk, only babble about "aura" and "immersion" and other such nonsense. If you email me or leave a comment here, it should include something along the lines of "your thesis fucking ROCKS." I'm so entrenched in it right now that all I see are its inadequacies, and as delicious as nachos and ice cream are, they do not provide the sort of ego boost that, say, shots of whiskey might. However, it's probably ill-advised to drink right now, as it might seriously compromise the health and well-being of my thesis.

Excellent choice of music! Bach is a paragon of concentration. If you get tired of that (!) you could try Ralph Towner’s Ana or Anthem. Anthem is probably better for getting into the zone, but they’re both great CDs.
Good luck on the final dash. When’s your finish date??
