First order and a half of business: for a class I am now keeping a Tumblr of illustrations that inspire me, fifteen a week, and after that requirement is fulfilled I plan to rename and go on using it recreationally. So it's here, if any of y'all want to follow, and I will follow you back later on when I'm no longer being graded on it ( Read more... )

I just noticed that the pen I've been taking class notes with all week says Class of 2010, University of Chicago. Where did this come from? Why do I still have it ( Read more... )

I have very nearly fed this cold into the ground! I have sort of been living on spicy meat dishes for the last forever-- tacos, cheeseburgers, curry, spicy chicken pasta-- and if you cut me right now I would probably bleed orange juice, because I have drunk so much of it since Friday evening when I first started feeling gross ( Read more... )

So I think I am getting a cold? Or fighting off a cold? Or something? My roommate and a friend I'm assisting on a show have both had bad ones recently, so I could've gotten sick from either of them. I don't get colds very often-- the last time I remember having one is almost two years ago-- so even though it isn't that bad it's turning me into a ( Read more... )

So apparently the magnetic poles moved, or something? I heard this from bribitribbit who heard it from her mom. I don't know, it seems like everyone on my friendslist and my Twitter feed seems to not be feeling well today. I know I have a headache and it sucks. I was going to go to work for a few hours today and go to Target for new gloves and hang out with ( Read more... )

where I suddenly realize that EVERYTHING IN THE WHOLE WORLD is due Monday and Tuesday, except for the things that were due last week that I haven't done yet. And then I stress out and start trying to do ALL THE THINGS EVER during Sunday and Monday evenings and cry a lot and get no sleep, and then it takes me until next Sunday afternoon to recover, ( Read more... )

Good news: I am not gluten intolerant! I thought my dad had been diagnosed with celiac disease, which causes depression and psoriasis, which are things we both have. But apparently he was only being tested and the test came back negative, so . . . I am still depressed and my scalp is still trying to kill me, but at least I don't have to try to ( Read more... )

I've been failing at jogging the last week or so, not because I don't like jogging, but because I've fucked up my sleep schedule again. For the last several days I've been going to bed at 5AM and waking up at 1PM, and then it's too hot to go jogging and I feel like shit and nothing at all gets done ( Read more... )

I survived my surgery! I am actually feeling pretty good-- way better than last time I dealt with this shit, anyway. I'm not even groggy, just sore and a bit puffy, and there is ice cream in the freezer for that. Mostly I am on multiple kinds of medication for the next couple of days, and have to gargle salt water, and it's really annoying ( Read more... )

I am so cranky today and I have no idea why. Fic research and writing are going apace! It's lovely and warm out! I have two weeks of school left!

Actually, it is possibly because fic research is going apace; my tolerance for serious business nonfiction is tragically limited, and we are talking about the 1960s and urban race riots in class, which ( Read more... )
