Seamus Heaney, Mary Oliver, Billy Collins?
Always marry Billy Collins. Which leaves fuck Mary Oliver (which is sad, because I'd like to marry her, too), and chuck Seamus Heaney.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I feel exceptionally betrayed by my stupid ankle. For some reason, I was depending on little soft tissue damage, but there's no way to get the avulsion fracture the doctors described without ligament/tendon damage. Just! Break sounds so clean, relatively....and such a tiny one.
I have pointed out to my sister that I easily fail her pathological liar test. She's not revisiting her criteria, though.

It's about the number of "exceptional" things about yourself you can slip into one conversation (that's not technically about you). I'm the queen of inconsequentially "exceptional". I think her threshold is around six.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I bumped into a John Hughes marathon on tv. Do I own all the movies? Yes. Am I still watching the chopped up tv versions? Well, duh.
They're so PERKY!
For whatever reason my tired brain read that as John HOLMES. You can see why I'm laughing my ass off.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've been exhausted all day -- barely able to get out of bed this morning, had to force myself to stay awake during office hours, feeling sick by the time I was done teaching -- but now that I can go to bed, I can't get to sleep. I don't know what's up with this.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Tried out my new manual ceramic burr grinder - grinding only enough for one cup didn't take too too much effort and made for a damn fine cup of coffee. In other breakfast news, smoked salmon and brie is pretty yum.

Dang it, I forgot to get smoked salmon at Trader Joe's yesterday. My breakfast is sad.
