CUDM

Failed to wake up at a reasonably hour as usual but was drinking water and IMing by noon. I felt somewhat crappy which was ironic since I was the only one not drinking last night. Oh well. Frittered away several hours on IM then did a minimal workout in my room (going to the gym is just not happening in this weather) and showered. Finished off the stir fry and a bagel for meal 1 (what do you call it at 3PM?). I decided to get at least some minimal amount of work done so I went to Diamond Library to hunt down the article I had to read for JGL. THey keep moving the box of articles around and I can never find it. Electronic articles are so much handier. I think it took me half an hour to find the damn box. Then it took another 2 hours to read the article. It was pretty long, 100 pages, and at least half its length was footnotes. The title was "Masculinities at Work" and it was about how women and men who don't conform to gender stereotypes at work are discriminated against and how Title VII could better prevent the phenomenon. I don't normally vote to accept articles but I think I will for this one since I was arguing the very topic discussed in the piece with a couple friends last week. That must make it current right? Marched down to Koronets for a slice of dinner and then continued to spend the evening on IM, butt glued to my swivel chair, completely unmotivated to start the laundry. Peeled myself away at 10 and started two loads. When they finished and I had folded everything it was 1AM. About time to go to the Columbia University Dance Marathon. It's a benefit raising money to help AIDS victims. The dancing starts at noon and goes until 4PM the next day. People volunteer to dance for 28 hours straight and all their friends come cheer them on and dance with them. I had a friend participating so I dropped by for moral support :-) As I walked over it started snowing. Hard. By the time I reached campus the ground was fairly slick. Fresh snow is pretty at least. I wasn't quite dressed for the weather, just a t-shirt and windbreaker, but i made it ok. Danced until 2:30AM. There were beach balls and handballs, basketball, mariokart, twister, breakdancers, etc...Every so often the whole mob would break out in a line dance or a conga line. I felt a bit out of place only knowing a dozen or so people but it was for a good cause so what the hell. Maybe I'll drop in again tomorrow and see how people are holding up. I think it's about bed time now though.
