What Deadline?

Oct 24, 2006

I am an expert procrastinator. You have no idea. My last thesis advisor, however–who never saw a draft of my thesis until I turned in the final copy–knows exactly how well I procrastinate. I don’t think my talent amused him, to tell the truth. But I did end up with a diploma, so he couldn’t have been too angry.

I’m currently procrastinating on my “real world” job, and I, at least, am amused. Here’s hoping you will be, too.

HorseShues

I have no idea what the blog’s about, actually. I haven’t gotten that far. Check out the ads for decorative horse shoes on the right-hand side of the page. And who would buy decorative horse shoes, you ask? (You don’t ask? Well, I did.) The site owner is happy to tell you:

“Baby Shues: New moms love keepsakes. They especially love keepsakes that are unique. Trust us, nobody else at the baby shower will be bringing a personalized horseshoe.”

“Teacher Shues: Your teacher does not want another coffee mug.”

Bwah! If I weren’t sweating my budget this month, I’d buy one. I’m such a sucker for funny promotional text.

Ask Lerlene

I bet Dear Abby would never respond like this: “Lerlene seldom gets serious inquiries but I figure that I know ten times more than all them full-time professionals. I often have horses spook because of my feather boa but I refuse to give up that all-so-important touch of femininity.”
