Stop me if you've heard this one before

[mercuriosity]

Neil Gaiman is set to write the screenplay for an adaptation of 《西游记》 (Xī Yóu Jì | Journey to the West), with James Cameron as technical advisor.

*sigh*

I can't even- I don't- the more Neil Gaiman blithely shows off his willing ignorance of his own massive privilege, the more difficult it becomes for me to enjoy any of his work. I'm sorry; I should have reached this point long before now. It was my own privilege that allowed me to endure thus far. I'm sorry.

I bought his books. I shook his hand. I told him I wanted to write stories like his. I'm just so let-down and angry at myself and at him and at the world.

Ugh. Time for a TOTAL FLUFF MEME instead. I stole this one from
renay.




This is my bag; I love a big bag, because I get inexplicably anxious at the thought of having to do without MY STUFF for even a second.



This is what's inside my bag on this particular day.

1. An issue of Bitch magazine.
   
2. My Moleskine planner.
   
3. My wallet; it's Fossil, and yes, it's awesome.
   
4. My old-yet-trusty not-iPod.
   
5. A receipt for my laundry. I must remember to go pick it up this evening.
   
6. Hand sanitizer.
   
7. Face-blotting tissues.
   
8. My student ID, deliberately turned so you can't see my mug shot.
   
9. Tissues.
   
10. Gloves.
    
11. Lip gloss.
    
12. DRUGS--i.e., store-brand ibuprofen tablets.
    
13. Gum.
    
14. A mirror/hairbrush combo.
    
15. My phone.
    
16. Nail clippers.
    
17. A random piece of bling that fell off some clothing. I will keep it for approximately five years before throwing it out.
    
18. Lip balm.
    
19. Vaseline Lip Therapy. Yes, I need both, AT ALL TIMES.
    
20. Keys.
    

I reckon I could last a week or more if I ever got lost in the woods.
