charloween1. write lots before soccer
2. watch soccer
3. write more after soccer
4. stay cool
5. stretch the limits of my academic linguistic creativity after discovering that a) I'm writing about what amounts to the eroticization of children's tv characters and b) MS Word is so prudish its thesaurus doesn't offer synonyms for "erotic".* This is a problem when discussing the lyrics to Queen's "Don't Stop Me". All of the synonyms that come to mind aren't entirely appropriate for this academic work.
6. write more, futz with MS Word less
7. make an "I'm not dead" blog post
*After discovering this, I checked what it'd suggest for "sex", and got: "gender", "sexual category", "sexual characteristics", "masculinity" and "femininity". "Intercourse" is synonymous with "contact", "communication", "interaction", "association" and nothing else.
