Ned Flanders : Homer, did you steal my air conditioner?
Homer : I know it looks bad Flanders, but he who is without sin casts the first stone

Rodd Flanders : I got him, Dad.
Today I am overwhelmed and underwhelmed. I am impatient and frustrated. I am freaking moody! I've been spending my day screwing around to avoid (a) thinking in general and (b) working on things I really need to get done. Unfortunately (a) is required for (b). But let's not get into some Kantian logic here.
Before we go any further, I have a couple of confessions to make:
1) I've been listening to a lot of sappy, top 40 crap that is doing little else than fueling said moodiness. It is helping me sleep, so there's a good justification. But Vivaldi would help me sleep and I wouldn't walk around humming trash all day.
2) I worked on my book yesterday, editing like my fingers were on fire. Now I feel stuck because I am ridiculously happy with what I've written so far and how the editing process is going and I'm continually sabotaging myself with self-doubt and this horrific self-criticism.
So I am moody writer. Everyones' favorite party guest.
But I've been kicking ass on getting my paperwork done. I still have to comb through my garbage pile of a credit report and fill in the last bits of the online divorce forms. And Idaho State University has stopped jerking me around on getting admitted to their school so I might just be able to take summer courses after all.
But I'm moody and a little sleepy and therefore kind of grumpy and I am considering just casting stones for the fun of it.
Click the title for a truly sappy song stuck in my head (I place the blame on the bestie who sent it to me on a mix tape)
And to think I almost didn't send that song because I wondered if it was too "country" for you! :)
ReplyDeleteTop 40 is crap, but it's crap I listen to a lot and am therefore slightly fond of! :)
What classes do you want to take? And good job on kicking the paperwork to the curb! If you got all of that done today I may have to hire you to help me with all of mine! :)
