This story takes place in 2009, right after our wedding. I was writing a screenplay in the little house. I wrote it at the kitchen table, or in my old bed with its thrift-store sheets. Or, as anyone who has tried to write anything recently knows, these are the places where I set the stage for writing but instead looked things up online. Some of this could be justified because one of the characters in my screenplay was also trying to make something, a dance, but instead of dancing she looked up dances on YouTube. So, in a way, this procrastination was research.

Melancholia is a GREAT movie.

Thanks to you Eric, I gave the film another chance. I stand uncorrected. Now give me my 136 minutes back.

me: Melancholia is so boring. I fell asleep after the first hour or maybe less than that.

Jane: I hate it. It doesn't make any sense.
me: I know, right? With all the planets and stuff.
Jane: It doesn't make any sense because no woman would ever turn down Alexander Skarsgard.
me: I fell asleep after his character leaves.

My farewell party was really lovely. Everyone came, brought good food, sang, hugged, and laughed (and cried). They also gave me gifts and cards with neatly arranged, nicely handwritten words.

As much as I enjoyed it though, the idea that it was me that was being honoured kept on coming into my head, and it really irked me. I had never realized how much I hate being the center of attention until tonight. Even writing this post feels odd.

I could only say that it’s good that I don’t celebrate my birthday.

When will you get a masters degree?

Never.

Pierce said to me once that “everything on Tumblr feels so disposable.” I didn’t really agree then, but I do now. Once you spend enough time to read and see your old posts, you will too.

Brownie Strawberry Shortcake

Everytime I see a post like that in the “Recipes” section of a food site, here is what I think: It looks pretty, yes, but that is not a recipe. If you can guess all the ingredients just by looking at them and if you can buy them at the nearest convenience store instead of making them from scratch, and you still call it a recipe, then more power to you.

Also, is that a shortcake?

French photographer “Alexis” stumbled upon one hell of an antique find: stereoscopic glass plates from 80 years ago. Of course now, we live in the age of the GIF—and we can make old Paris a little alive again.

“Among birds there are those who migrate, and those who pretend. Some wander about their entire life but other species don’t start moving before a certain age. Children are perfect nomads. Adventurers, but I prefer the word nomad. A child is a nomad and doesn’t understand why the flock doesn’t go wherever the grass is. Why we stubbornly try to eat grass in a place made up of stones. … We teach him plenty of abominable things. Hope, but a bad kind of hope. “Things will happen for you”, nothing ever happens. The only thing that happened to me in my life was me.”

“Cautiously, I allowed myself to feel good at times. I found moments of peace in cheap rooms just staring at the knobs of some dresser or listening to the rain in the dark. The less I needed, the better I felt.”
