I am going to rip off National Lampoon's Vacation.

I had a breakthrough today, which I accomplished by turning off the car stereo on my commute. I was making myself laugh on the way home, which is a good sign. I know what kind of writing I like, so if I like my writing, that's a good thing. I fully recommend turning off thought-inhibiting devices to make dead time more productive now. I didn't before. "More dead time!" I was heard to remark. After class tonight, if the Vikings are losing, I'll definitely write. If they're winning, 60-40.
