ebbullience (or lack thereof)

I'm still alive -- just kind of in a writing lull, y'know? Staying pretty busy at work and haven't been tempted to spend endless hours on LJ lately... I tend to ebb and blow when it comes to LJ, and I'm definitely in an ebb since getting back from vacation. (Is the word "ebb" ever used other than in the term "ebb and flow"? Oh yeah, "ebb tide." And Nitzer Ebb. (What the hell's that mean, anyway?))

I had one of those weird back-in-high-school dreams. Or, as albert71292 would say, "dreams." Anyway, I had this really hard-ass dude for English, and he gave us this really hard-ass exam. I hadn't read any of the material, but somehow I was able to squeak a 75 out of it. It was embarrassing, though -- by all my wrong answers and half-baked interpretations he had written stuff like, "No!!! What are you THINKING?" And plus, many of my classmates had totally dominated me. I remember thinking, "Geez, I got along a lot better not reading the books when I was in graduate school!"

I like the people in my new department -- several good senses of humor, and there's even another guy who also wears Converse low-tops. Anyone with such stellar taste in footwear can't be all bad.
