I had a paper due on Wednesday at 5:00 in the afternoon. That was all well and good until I realized that Wednesday, is, in fact, not Friday, and that that deadline, at the time was, in fact, less than two hours away.

I think, for a four page paper churned out between the hours of three and five pee-em, it turned out pretty well.

Charlie covered for my (extended) radio show, taking the aforementioned two-hour time slot, while I typed what may or may not be a coherent juxtaposition of Kuo Hsi's painting Early Spring Landscape to Hsieh Ling-Yûn's poem "On My Way From South Mountain..." For the first hour of the show, I filled dead air (one of the CD players is broken and is yet to have been replaced) with German beer garden music (Sides seven and eight: Oktoberfest). For the last hour of the show, I used an old Disney sound effects record: "Many people keep birds as pets. Not you. You are terrified of the feathered creatures, with their pointed beaks and sharp, clutching talons." It was fantastic. Next week I'm doing a show on Oasis (Shut up, Jacob... and everyone else.): Some Might Say.

It's late.

Peace.
