Here is some of the stuff I have to do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Watch TV<\/b>.  I have a lot of TV to watch this weekend.  We just got  the 2nd season of Arrested Development [trumpet fanfare], which is calling quietly but forcefully for me to come out to the living room and watch it.  We also have had 3 Netflix items for a while: An X-Files one which is waiting for <i>me<\/i> to watch the final episode, since Andy&#8217;s already watched it; and Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot ones which are only for me.  I&#8217;m a little Netflix hog.\n<li><b>Knit<\/b>.  I have a rather large quantity of yarn waiting for me to turn it into something.  There is also pressure here beyond the promptings of my rather lackadaisical conscience, as a lady at the church where I work has been helping me quite a bit and I&#8217;d like her to feel her efforts were not in vain.\n<li><b>School stuff<\/b>.  The dissertation, obviously, and also I think I&#8217;m going to be teaching a class on Near Eastern history next semester at a local college.  I suppose by this time I should be able to rattle everything off from memory, but unfortunately I have a hard time retaining anything that could be listed under the heading &#8220;specifics.&#8221;  So unless they&#8217;re willing to retitle the course &#8220;Michele&#8217;s General Impressions of the Ancient Near East,&#8221; I&#8217;m going to have to do some prep work.  &#8220;Guys, they built some cool pyramids and stuff in the Ancient Near East, but basically they were all nuts!  Okay, so why don&#8217;t you discuss that amongst yourselves for the next 54.5 minutes.&#8221;\n<li><b>Work stuff<\/b>.  The separate components of this Sunday&#8217;s church bulletin are sitting in a box in my living room.  My mission: to stuff the bulletin inserts into the bulletin covers, and return the completed items to church by Sunday morning.  Argh!  Too much pressure!\n<li><b>Eat chocolate<\/b>.  Chocolate from this Halloween still remains in this apartment.  This is a situation that cannot be tolerated.<\/ul>\n<p>Guess I&#8217;d better get cracking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a lot of stuff to do this weekend.
