Where's the work?! I'm getting a little worried. I have only had one assignment since last Tuesday night. Sure, I needed the weekend off to get the computer set up... but now I am ready to get my work and get it done. Jeez... I feel like I'm always complaining about no work and too much work. Why can't there be a happy medium with me?


But on the upside, my Rock n Roll podcast is playing A Fats Domino song, "One Night of Sin" which was recorded by Elvis, eventually turning into "One Night With You." Interesting. I think I'll keep subscribing to this podcast. It really opens my eyes about some of my favorite songs.

So, I've got this project. It's a manifesto project for my poetry class. And it sounds like fun, until I start working on it and draw a complete blank. I know my theme: Rock. I know all of my materials that need to physically make the books, and I know exactly what they will look like. However, what it will say... I have no clue. I was going to just write straight poetry and let the meaning (or whatever) be extracted by the reader. But... seems to simple. Then, I was just going to write portraits of rock stars... but that didn't seem to be the point of the project. Now I'm stuck. Grrr... I have an image of a guitar in my head, but the words just won't come out. I've been listening to Presley and Dylan (who's not really rock anyway...) to get ideas, but nothing. Everything I think of turns rock into a cheesy religious metaphor and that's not really what I want. I guess I'll go think some more...
