Writing my paper paper

I've never been so happy to lose an hour of sleep (ha! more like an hour of work). Sunset at 7:09 this evening! Finally northern living might start to pay off.

For one of my papers I've been reading about something called "theory theory." It makes sense and all, but I still giggle every time I read a phrase like "Proponents of theory theory believe that . . . " I can't shake the impulse to read the second theory as just there for emphasis. It reminds me of the woman I used to work whose marriage left her with the name Dudley Dudley. Thinking about her always cheers me up . . . and what if Dudley Dudley was a propoent of theory theory? Oh, the delight!
