(8:30 PM) | Adam Kotsko:
Fitter, Happier, More Productive
Everything in my life has fallen into place. I read that whole stupid Hegel book. I have found a provisional home for our cat. In an effort to make the house an allergy-free zone, I even vacuumed out all the registers -- you'd be surprised how incredibly dusty they can get after that's not done for a year. I filed my federal and state taxes, and my refund is approximately equal to my current credit card balance. I will be able to pay my huge gas bill in its entirety on Monday. I now have two roommates, Justin and Jesse. (I did not explicitly plan on getting roommates whose names began with the same letter.) I filed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid already. I'm sure I'll get all the best grants and stuff since I filed so early. In fact, they'll probably give me an extra grant to pay off the loans I took out for this year. (There are benefits to filing early, at least in the fantasy world I live in.) I still have a week to put together an abstract for that DePaul conference. My blog template has attained near-perfection. I am on pace to read most of this week's New Yorker before the next one comes.
In short: a pig, in a cage, on antibiotics.
