The Late Twenties

Reading: Sex and the Slayer, a book about the gender politics of Buffy.
Watching: The first two seasons of Moonlighting on DVD. I watched it as a child, but at the time I didn't know the facts of life, so I missed a ton of the jokes.
Can't wait: for a new eppy of Veronica Mars and the new CD by Cat Power that comes out next week- on my b-day. The day which I will officially enter my (drum roll) late twenties.

Now I know I will not be ancient by reaching my late twenties, but it has me down a little bit. I feel like I should have accomplished more by now. You can piss away your early twenties, and spend your mid twenties paying your dues, but now that I am reaching my late twenties I feel I should have at least some results to show for the hard work I've been putting in for the last decade.

Score card:
Career- Student teacher and graduate student. No benefits and barely a living wage at 60 hours a week.

Marital Status: deserted

Parenthood Status: No kids. None in the near future, despite the five year marriage. Custody of one dog full time, and part time custody of my other dog, if that counts.

Living arrangements: Living with aforementioned canines, no humans. Preparing to sell my house to move into (shudder) my parents' basement.

What I have to show for my life: a couple of college degrees. My car is paid off....

This is more depressing than I'd intended.
It was a long day and I'm sleepy, so I hope you'll forgive me. And I have a scratchy throat. And I sat through many boring hours of eduspeak today at student teacher orientation.
