It's been a surprisingly good day, especially for a Monday.  Apparently, all I need is a short-term _purpose_ in life, even if I don't actually get an opportunity to work directly on it.  (On that topic, everyone should definitely take a look at the awesome, glowing comment that I got from the good people at Hemorrhoid Treatment 101 on how ( Read more... )

1) I finished reading House of Leaves yesterday.  I flopped down in the floor with it when I woke up, I took a couple of breaks for food and 90 minutes to exercise and shower, and I spent the rest of the day reading.  It was good for me, but I kind of hated it.  I'm not sure what I mean by that statement.  I need a couple more days to recover from ( Read more... )

(PS: Don't read the comments.  You will regret it mightily.)

Okay, so, 499 words isn't technically a drabble, but I have a feeling I'm just gonna have to go with Under 500 for all of these.  And I'm trying to learn how to let these things go and stop obsessing, so I'm also instituting a Three Four Proof Reads limit for myself.
