Tomorrow morning will be unfucked within the next few minutes. Things I have in my possession include:
1 large chocolate cupcake
1/2 bottle of Naked Blue Machine
1 digital copy of an addictively bad book
I am going to enjoy all these things, and then I am going to sleep, because I must wake up ridiculously early in the morning to face a full day of Getting Stuff Done (so that I can have an...

Best words ever heard from my Lit professor:
“Because your grade is so high, there’s no need to revise again.”
COMMENCE REJOICING. The entire time I was editing that essay last night, I was thinking I’d have to edit it one more time. The thought of spending more time on “My Kid’s Dog” made me question the worth of my existence. But now I don’t have to!

I WILL BE SO HAPPY WHEN I AM FREED FROM THE CHAINS OF WRITING ABOUT THIS DUDE AND HIS MOTHERFUCKING KID’S DOG.

I'm really excited that we've moved on to poetry...
I LOVE POETRY. And also, we started with two of my favourite poems (Pablo Neruda’s “Verbo” and Billy Collins’s “Introduction to Poetry”). I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THESE.
I did sadly have to switch from rambling about poetry back to working on my Ron Hansen “My Kid’s Dog” essay. I FUCKING HATE SHORT STORIES GUYS. Honestly. I’ve...

Verbo by Pablo Neruda (as translated by Ben Belitt)
I’m going to crumple this word, to twist it, yes, it’s too slick like a big dog or a river had been lapping it down with its tongue, or water had worn it away with the years.
I want gravel to show in the word, the ferruginous salt, the gap-toothed power of the soil. There must be a blood-letting for talker and non-talker alike.
I...

Because I kept telling myself I would be equally capable of getting things done whilst sitting on the couch in the living room, but that is just not true.

Last thoughts before going to bed...
The fact that Lucy Liu is going to be Watson is the only reason I’ll be watching the US Sherlock Holmes adaptation!
But also, um, why is she being Watson instead of Sherlock?
I mean seriously guys.
She would make an awesome Sherlock.
And if not her, another woman would be nice.
Especially another woman who is a POC, because having Lucy Liu be a white woman’s sidekick would also...

So close to Friday. So close.
Not gonna lie, daydreaming about Friday is what helped me get out of my own frustrated headspace tonight.
Home from work, tomorrow morning unfucked, beer in hand!
My list of things to do tomorrow sucks royal Hippogriff, but tonight I am DONE!

It's unfortunate that going home and pretending...
Nothing particularly bad has happened, my brain just isn’t working and it’s making me incredibly frustrated with myself.

OKAY
Getting showered and dressed and going in to work early so I can sit myself down in the café and make myself focus on completing my assignments.
I don’t know why this strategy works, but it does.
I need to get out of bed and make coffee and food.
I needed to do this two hours ago, but I really need to do it now.
Bed, why are you so comfortable?
JCPenney your new logo is terrible.
-bobella-:
Did no one learn anything from the new GAP logo debacle
I had to go look it up, and then visibly cringed away from the computer screen until I could exit out of the window.

The worst is when a poster falls down in the middle of the night, and you are in your bed going “Is that a poster OR IS SOMEONE HERE TO MURDER ME?”
I was off in my head reading, so that is basically what I did.
Also what I did, incidentally, when a woodpecker woke me up this morning by pecking at the side of...
I'm not even watching...
But goddamn Ellie Kemper’s dress.

Guys, I'm not going to lie...
I have seen few things scarier in my life than what I just witnessed.
My Thor poster came most of the way off the wall, and was just hanging by a corner. I looked over and saw this face swinging back and forth, just staring at me.

thesarcasmofsamwise replied to your post: Highlights from the Lost Post
Why don’t you wear tiny cheerleader shorts under it? That’s what I would do. Also, fuck yes, let’s get dressed up for treat yo’self day. I have heels I can actually wear and look sexy in and are comfy, but I’ll probably bring boots too.
Fuck it, I MUST WEAR THIS DRESS.

Highlights from the Lost Post
I’m going to get dressed the fuck up for Treat Yo Self Day (but I’m going to bring a backup pair of shoes so that it doesn’t become Hobble Around in Pain Day).
I want to wear a certain dress, but I know will crawl slowly up my legs as I walk.
I’m not going to wear it, because I also don’t want it to become Show Sarcasm Your Ladybits Day.
Nor does Sarcasm.
But...
I just wrote a long, rambly post...
And then accidentally closed out of my browser and lost it.
And it was so full of unimportant nonsense that I couldn’t bring myself to retype it.

My list of things to unfuck is just not going to...
At least not outside of the apartment unfucking, on which I’m actually doing well. (And of course unfucking tomorrow morning will happen also.) I think I just need a day to let my brain rest, so I’m going to do that and double up on the schoolwork unfucking tomorrow.

I'm almost done with Wizard's First Rule...
And one of the things that is killing me about Terry Goodkind’s writing is the fact that he’ll write in something really simple and have all the characters think it’s incredibly clever. Richard is ridiculously slow on the uptake, but everyone thinks he is a completely unparalleled human being.

OH GOD I'M SO TIRED.
But on the bright side, I acquired a window herb garden, and have also gotten compliments on the outfit I wasn’t sure I could pull off from the two coworkers whose opinion of my clothing matters to me.

I just got my bottle of Peacock Queen!
“In dramatic contrast to the soft innocence of Snow White and the dew-kissed freshness of her sister, Rose Red, this is a blood red, voluptuous rose, velvet-petaled, at the height of bloom. Haughty and imperious, vain, yet incomparably lovely to the eye, but thick with thorns of jealousy, pride and hatred.”
I don’t know where my recently acquired love for rose came from (I...

List for Tomorrow!
Wake up at a decent hour! Preferably by 8:00-ish, but 9:00 at the latest.
Do the whole shower/clothes/food/makeup thing!
Rejoice in the fact that I unfucked my morning the previous night!
Read over Lucy Stone essay and do a last run of edits before submitting.
Do a couple of 20/10s on the closet/surrounding area.
Sort out laundry while doing so, because a trip to the laundromat is critical...

It feels like summer outside!
Unfortunately, the bees and wasps think so, too.
