frustration

i want this


but i get this

i've drafted, revised, edited, revised, block-quoted, revised, elaborated and summarized. this paper is at 10.5 pages and needs to be 12-15. now i'll conclude and start the b.s.ing for length. why can't college profs just stick to my old high school rule about the length of an essay: make it like a woman's skirt. long enough to cover the subject but short enough to keep it interesting.

blast you stuart england! and your toleration act too.

less than 2 days till cold weather. snow would make this all worthwhile.
