What's the big Idea?

It has been over two months since I last posted anything here. I'm sorry to admit that, but it is the Truth. I have heard that it should set me free. I am looking forward to that.

From what I am in need of free-setting? The GRE Psychology Subject Test, that's what. The adjective I chose to describe it two months ago was "heinous," and I stand by my diction. There are about 1 million things that could be on the test, some of them absolutely unpredictable, and I'm convinced a few of them are unknowable (at least, no Reasonable person could known them). But I have been studying, for two months putting Facts into my brain. I have not done much else. My social life has waned. I haven't seen a movie or heard a new record in weeks. Several friends have forgotten I existed. Upon seeing me at work, one friend fainted, thinking me a ghost. Parts of my skin have become transparent due to lack of exposure to the sun. My family members cut me out of their wills. I have lost the ability to communicate verbally. I dream in college-rule.

But, like Dave Eggers, I have found the perfect panacea for my personal problems: a magazine! Or more accurately, a 'zine, because you and I both know I can't afford any "maga." It is only in a very conceptual stage right now, as I am thinking of it as The Next Project after I finish this test. It will probably be very similar in interests and style to this blog. This should not be surprising.

It should be good. I mean, they always say "it looked good on paper" for a plan that doesn't work in the practical world (see: Communism, Trickle-down economics), but there is no idiom for a good plan that has not yet been set to paper.

At this point I realize that I'm just killing time, and I should get back to my test review. More on all this later. By the way, the test is tomorrow morning. So good luck to me,
(and good luck to you too, whatever you're doing,)
