Every day I pull up my blog and plan on writing something. Surely there is some topic that I could choose to write about, but every day I give up on the idea after a few minutes. Instead of blogging, I decide that I would rather pull up Netflix Instant Watch and lose myself in old episodes of Law and Order: SVU or 30 Rock. Perhaps blogging seems so difficult because I feel like I am in this weird liminal state and feel less sure of my future plans than I ever have in my life. I will probably post an entire blog about this in the future, but I wanted to mention this in order to acknowledge my lack of blogging.
Today in this early hour of the morning, I have decided that I have to blog something, and I have chosen to steal a form from a fellow blogger (and all-around amazing person and incredible academic mentor). This fellow blogger occasionally posts RBOC (Random Bullets of Crap) on her blog, and I think that they are incredibly successful for her, and I am hoping that trying this form will help me get over this bloggers block I have been facing.
So without any further adieu, my list is below.
- I have been incredibly unhappy with all of my recent purchases (books, food, shoes, clothes, cologne). The only purchased item I have been happy with is the Crest Glide Comfort Plus floss that I bought the other day, and it is amazing.
- I am so glad that my taxes are done and that I got money back.
- I am reading a book for pleasure for the first time in several months.
- I love buying flowers and having them wrapped.
- I really want to go to the movies, but nothing good is playing.
- I had three incredible afternoons with friends this week. Both involved wonderful food and conversations. Tomorrow may bring another.
- I have longed for spring break, but with it here, it is making me go a little stir crazy.
- I still have yet to touch my syllabus for next quarter.
- I love writing letters of recommendation.
- I keep listening to the song below over and over again (thanks, Joy). I know it seems depressing, but I find it oddly comforting. It isn't one of those depressing "Your life sucks" songs. I like that it is observational, and it just really reflects the way that I feel about my life this year.
I love the Weepies sooooo very much. And Crest Glide Floss! Good call.
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud that I could be a part of that floss-purchasing experience. Yay!
ReplyDeleteWe should really just make double layer chocolate cakes and pink mash potatoes everyday! :) Oh, and I am totally also reading for pleasure for the first time in years and its lovely!
ReplyDeleteZach, you delight me. That's all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the song. Love it. You are wonderful (and I think the RBOC suits your style these days.)
