So I'm supposed to have finished Jane Austen's Mansfield Park by Saturday afternoon. I like it a lot, the problem is, I keep getting distracted by other entertaining things, like comic books, TV, video games, and the Internet. It's like I'm back in school. My procrastination problem rears its ugly head yet again.

GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS!
Good News: The pigeons didn't wake me up with their damnable cooing.
Bad News: The pigeons made some new screeching noise that sounded like they were laughing at me.

So, I found this website, which lists different ways to get rid of pigeons. The one I was most excited about was the shock treatment, but they advertise that it doesn't hurt the pigeons. Obviously, I want to hurt the pigeons! I hate those fuckers. Anyway, I may get one of those sonic bird-chasers. That would get rid of all the pigeons in a certain radius. Teach those jerks to laugh at me! HAHAHA!

Halloween's coming up, and I don't have a costume. I was going to go to a tanning salon with BP Sozmutt, and we were both going to be super-tanned people for Halloween. But it turns out you have to do that at least a month in advance. So now I have nothing. And he's going to be Purple Hulk. Also, Halloween is one of two holidays (the other being New Year's) that has the greatest potential to be disappointing. There's just so much hype! And that's the scariest part of Halloween, as far as I'm concerned.

For some annoying reason, Blogstream won't let me list links outside of Blogstream under my "Blogs I Like" section. So I'd like to take this opportunity to list some good other blogs you should read.

• Beta Fippel's Pooping At Work -- an excellent, if terrifying, look at the life of a young event planner.

• Craitzy's Adventures -- an excellent, if terrifying, look at the life of a young medical market researcher

• Avi K's Blog -- he doesn't update very often, but I thought I'd give him a little mention here.

• Writing the Musical -- Skin Deep the Musical . . . some day.

Now, go and read, my loyal fanbase! GO!
