+What I’m supposed to be doing during break:
+
+- <strike>Updating a grant proposal for our development folks</strike>
+- Finishing the Media Studies program’s self-study report
+- Finishing a long-overdue article on Richard Powers
+- Writing a memo to the dean about a proposed educational technology center in Claremont
+- Writing the critical theory apparatus for the Pearson anthology
+- Reading the stack of new books I rashly decided to teach in the spring
+
+What I’ve been doing:
+
+- Updating grant proposal! Hurrah! One thing off list!
+- Tinkering with self-study report without actually adding new text necessary to finish it
+- Re-reading [Gain](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0312204094/plannedobsole-20) for the third time in preparation for finishing said Powers paper
+- Upgrading blog software, adding gallery, futzing with CSS, and generally fooling around with blog in utterly non-productive way
+- Oh, yeah: closing escrow. Today, I think. Which mostly results in me sitting by the phone and calling my home voicemail with a ridiculous frequency in order to find out whether anything horrible has gone wrong.
+
+The hope is that laying it out this plainly will produce guilt and shame sufficient to get me to accomplish something work-oriented in the next week. We’ll see how it goes.
