i'm bored, you know?
here it is shortly after 9 at night. i have nothing to do til midnight and i know i'm not going to get any sleep since my flight is at 4.15 and i'm insisting on going to a screening of A Clockwork Orange which will last til at least 2 by my reckoning... i've done some semblance of homework to clear the way for optimum vacation-enjoyment... i've packed haphazardly as is my fashion... and so you find me here. i don't trust myself to go to sleep and not sleep all night, hence missing the movie which i've been looking forward to all day like the silly person with nothing to do that i am, and i'm not tired anyway.
ok here we go, a list of productive things i could do. keeping in mind that i can only be making this list in order to avoid doing any of the things on it:
1.read biography of lord alfred douglas
2.finish writing my self-indulgent, sophomoric, solipsistic novel
3.do my reading for american literature which i have so far reserved for the plane ride and/or the rest of the vacation
4.do my french assignment which i also reserved for the break since dad can help me and in that case it would be quality time
5.carry the empty bottles on my desk to the recycling bin and contemplate whether the fossil fuels used in recycling processes negate the potential benefit and/or the positive effects upon my conscience
6.risk taking a nap
7.make tea, particularly ineffectual throat comfort tea for my stupid cold
8.go fetch some institutional toilet paper from the front desk in response to earlier chewing-out from suitemate about how she's the only one who ever gets toilet paper or washes the bath mats
9.come on...there's got to be something... oh hell. you see how tedious the things i have to think about are?
so anyway, disregarding list and continuing to ramble, i'm going home tomorrow! yay! apparently the living room will be repainted several shades lighter than my current residual image of it, and there will be some repairs going on in the basement. i anticipate no problems in adjusting.
i've been getting deja vu somewhat frequently lately. yes, marked deja vu.
rabbit in the moon are playing in town tomorrow night, i won't be going as i'll be in nebraska where nothing is happening but life.
i got my sigur ros ticket today. i love ticketmaster's automated order system.
limbo! remember The Tick? his battle cry was 'Spoon!' there's a drawing of him in my personal notebook.
i am getting a free Tweaker sticker in the mail.
ok, enough randomness, i really must acknowledge my responsibilities as a sane human being: let there be a point to your actions or let it be naptime.
