Cocktail hour resolution? →[More:]*phew!*
i'm moving furniture.
At least one big thing.
It makes me adjust and tidy.
And i need something to make me.
If for some reason this cannot be accomplished, i will endeavor to belt some song amidst some euphoric optimism, once more with feeling.

What can you irrationally make your goal for the evening?

Well, now that that's done, i've bisected my living room into two distinct piles of crap with satellite craplets.

It may be time to turn up the music.
Wow, i miss muxtape right now.

I did my goal! I went and got a new library card after, oh, I dunno, 1.5 years of not getting around to it. Helps that a branch of the public library is across the street from our new apartment.

i would love living across the street from a library.

my goal is surviving Hanna's visit. I did get limes today for the beverage portion of the program.

When does it hit?

i'm still thinking about how i'd annex the library as living space.
"Meet me by the historical fiction at noon."

Can you tell i'm kinda procrastinating dealing with the crap field of my own making?

Oh, man, are you sharing my living room in some parallel universe?

My evening goal is zen acceptance and detachment from the chaos around me.

I've accomplished nothing today except posting to metachat and cleaning the kitchen and making dinner. I'm informed that if I make chocolate chip cookies, that the house will be quiet for an hour and I can listen to some music.

Whatever happened to weeklong wednesday? I was looking forward to some offbeat creativity.

Mine is *all* dishes clean. Today, Tomorrow, Sunday. I hate dishes and they hate me, but I will prevail!

There is no way we could both both be standing in the same living room unless we were both tucked oddly into corners.
i like to pretend i'm a deer picking through the foliage until i fall or something falls over. It's good for the calves.

i didn't think there was much interest in weeklong wednesday.
Yet.
Who else wants new sidebar?
*raises hand*

Not minding dishes could be one of my few true assets.

how small can we make our stuff

Make stuff small?
In my living room, i'd have better luck pushing back the walls.
The Bees and i have some sorting and shredding to do.

I plan to draw, trace, and color a badass picture of Jimmy Carter.

and finish off the milk

i just accidentally drunkenly harangued somebody about registering to vote. i so did not expect that.

What did you expect?

An amiable drink buzz break with amiable chit chat.
My euphoric optimism hit at the wrong moment.
i should have music, but another drink?
Ganja, why have you forsaken me? So rarely do i incite the masses when i-- oh, fuck, i can't say that either.
*ppphhtt*

And now i have had a small fire in my microwave.

*sigh*

posted by ethylene 06 September | 01:07

It wasn't another spontaneous combustion; it was a piece of metal hiding in the bowl! A ha!
It doesn't make my finger less hurty or the air less smoky, but i still feel better.

posted by ethylene 06 September | 01:19

Ok, so now i have eaten something and showered, and i realize i've obligated myself to help people register to vote, people who all fired up about it now until at least tomorrow morning because of the argument:
"I don't even want to vote! Voting here is a demoralizing experience I don't want go through ever again, but I'm gonna do it anyway! Because it might actually make a difference! This state might vote not Republican for the first time in forever! I don't wanna do it, but I'm gonna, goddammit!
Goddammit, I don't wanna, but I'm gonna.
Goddammit."

What have i gotten myself into.
i hope a little Metalocalypse can make me feel better.
