Disinclination
Yeah. I got nothing today. No music, no links, no phewtews or videos. I have a couple creative projects I need to get working on but my will is weak today.
Any entertaining new hate-reading material out there besides The Bachelor recaps and Lana Del Rey melodrama?

Procrastinatory urges
I’m supposed to be editing, refining and reworking my NaNoWriMo mystery novel right now because I have 30,000 or so more words to add to make it the acceptable length. I’m allowing myself one half hour more to fuck around on the internet so please, no one post anything interesting, witty, pertinent or silly for the next 45 minutes.
Thanks!

“Sex bomb baby, yeah!”

Feeling wanderlust-y? →
This is from a few days ago but I keep going back and checking through the discussions in comments. So many good tales and suggestions! I love traveling with friends but in the last year I’ve been craving taking off on my own. Not having to coordinate vacation schedules or plan days and nights once at the destination. Free to wander and adventure. Maybe not this year as I have a few...

The chasm
Today is one of those days where I’m feeling pushed aside by life. The passing of time and the aging process factor into that feeling of being pushed. But today is also one of those times when it doesn’t bother me to feel that way. Today I gladly feel like stepping aside and letting it all go by the wayside. The race to keep up with, well, everything. The 24 hour information cycle. What’s...

The truth is out there...
I fell into a conspiracy theory website rabbit hole and may not make it out for hours.
There are people “out there” that have a lot of time on their hands. And worry space in their heads.
(Is putting quote marks around “out there” in the above sentence a sign that I’m starting to be adversely influenced?)
I’ve just been reading over an Illuminati-paranoia...

“The first night of back-to-back Regency Ballroom events, The Edwardian World’s Faire presents a Gorey-inspired night of music, theatrics, circus, fashion, gaming, and Edwardian-tinged rock n’ roll. A little more rambunctious than the Saturday night Ball, The Faire presents an interactive night of Barbary-themed Midway Games…”

The beauty of succulent illusions
“I learned a little of beauty—enough to know that it had nothing to do with truth—and I found, moreover, that there was no great literary tradition; there was only the tradition of the eventful death of every literary tradition….
Then I grew up, and the beauty of succulent illusions fell away from me. The fibre of my mind coarsened and my ears grew miserably keen. Life rose around...

Oh Etta
So sad to read about the passing of Etta James. She was up next on my rainy day music indulgence.

UH OH
tylercoates:
Should we accept our new identity as a culture of people who can’t stay married for more than five or ten years?
You guys. Someone over on Thought Catalog just discovered the concept of divorce and it’s CHANGING. EVERYTHING.
An ode to the hate read. Love it.

I did not miss the internet
very much while on vacation. I did engage in a splash of drunk tweeting and posting but it passed. Back to regular life today and discovered it takes too much time and energy to scroll back to catch up on everything. The only thing that has fascinated me enough to cause me to research back in internet time is that freakin’ cruise ship incident. What the hell?
I’m also in a grumpy...

Clock watching
is what I’ll be doing all day while at work today. The airport shuttle will pick me up at 3:45 a.m. tomorrow. I’ll be in New Orleans by 2pm. I’ll be hanging with friends and sipping an adult beverage probably about 1/2 hour after I arrive and cannot wait.
There probably won’t be much social networking, Twitter, tumblr, etc. use because I’m going to be busy living...

Things the internet gave to me
I want to use this as my computer wallpaper but I think that may cross a line at work. I could do it for my home laptop though!

Outrage weak and weary
Maybe I’m just a jaded, cynically-slanted person (yes) but whenever certain sections of the internet become a cavalcade of ruffled feathers and squawky insider-y backbiting, my eyeballs get lots of exercise with all the rolling they do. But like my attitude toward the hokey trainwreck that is The Bachelor and its ilk, I enjoy all the sanctimonious and self-congratulatory preening for its...

Means of escape
The only thing to do when laid up ill is to escape into lots of TV or movie viewing. A couple notable viewing experiences have occurred.
I watched the first ep of The Bachelor. What a corny, hokey, emotionally contrived and conspicuously manipulative show! That said, the women contestants are unintentionally hilarious, especially that batshit NYC blogger chick. It was fascinating to watch...

Feeling less than 2012ish
With no prior warning signs, I woke up the first day of the new year with a chest cold. So that sucked. The chest cold continues to be annoying and stubborn but it’s only a matter of time before it’s dead and gone.
Everything else has been up and down for the last few days but it’s nothing that could be considered a harbinger or omen for 2012. I’m just going to coast...
