Like pulling teeth

Spent most of the evening putting together a solid chunk of my conference paper, taking a brief break to watch the 4th season premier of The Shield. Wow. Just when you wondered how they'd take it up another notch, they go far & beyond. Now I want to get a few hours sleep, so's to be bright & chipper tomorrow to review logical fallacies w/ 105.

In Bolivia news, Mesa decided to call for early elections. He claims he won't work w/ parliament, or promulgate any law they pass, that it's impossible to govern. His recent anger was after the fiscalía (the attorney general's office) claimed it can't enforce any anti-bloqueo measures, since bloqueos (highway blockades) aren't illegal (even though, of course, the law says they are). The proposal is for elections on 28 August. During his televised speech, he used the phrase "suicide" to describe Bolivia's current situation.

Also, I've gone back to my undergrad sleeping pattern: 8 hours awake, 4 hours asleep.
