Laundry's done--yay! Now I just have to eat dinner and work out (since I skipped that this morning and last night, after eating some chocolate that was definitely not on my diet).
In cat news, check out the cat who barks like a dog.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I know what a sestina is, but I definitely don't know a villanelle. Cool name though. Off to wikipedia I go. I realise one of the reasons that I'd be fucked in a poetry-writing class is that I don't have anything to say that I think is worth putting in a poem. It seems to call for either exalted topic or just plain high quality. I mean, when I write.
Spending time on the phone with Colin kinda helped the melancholy. But that will probably wear off within the hour. I'm a stupid emotional limp dishrag these days.

My sonnet was about snot. Villanelle 1 is about not talking. Villanelle 2 is about heartbeats. I don't have any ideas for Villanelle 3. Sestina 1 is about someone stealing an ipod. None of this is exalted.

Oh, I don't judge people by the same stupid rules.

Art Crawl!!!
As some of you will know -- it's a bit chilly here today so even though I had grand plans of all the errands I was going to run. . . well, I did one: I was offered a lift to the grocery store and I took it. Then I decided to spend the rest of the day in the relative warmth of my home.
I re-watched
While You were Sleeping
and realized that the shape of Peter Gallagher's career to me is:
1st Sex, Lie and Videotape
2nd While You were Sleeping and
3rd The O.C.

I'm just running out of things to write about. Also, I need to memorize and recite a poem. I'm deciding between Lucille Clifton and Judy Grahn.
I'm so unable to memorize shit that I think I should really go with Dr. Suess.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
the shape of Peter Gallagher's careerWhich is as it should be.
And really the middle step is unnecessary to me.

I missed the first part of Gallagher's career, but I'm oddly fond of that middle step. I have some of a girlcrush on whatsername.

For dinner I ended up making linguine with chicken and peas, in a garlic and olive oil sauce with a dash of lemon.
Yeah, it was pretty good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds delish!
ita, do you ever read thrillers? I'm reading a Lee Child book, and thought of you, because there's always a fair amount of hand-to-hand fighting, extensively described.
