Lunes

I am close to finishing Chimimanda Ngozi Adichie's newest novel, Americanah. It's really wonderful. The protagonist writes a blog about the intersection of race and immigration status in the U.S. Sometimes the protagonist makes questionable decisions, but the fictional blog entries reproduced in the novel make claims that should not be questioned, at least not by me.

I know that this blog is not very brave and doesn't talk about race.
Thinking about this.

I Don't think The To-Do List looks THAT good

But, what, am I gonna, like, not see a movie with Bill Hader in it?

Tonight on the blog I'm sending some shout-outs to Patrick Beane and Josephine Hill. I wish I had a picture of the two of them together, but I don't. It's ok. People on this earth suffer from more significant lacks.

Plus, I have this kinda-action-shot of Soren and E that I really like. It's not all bad.

Work

was totally intense today! There were 131 requests by the time I left at 1:50. #ConsiderTheFactThat a typical day has, like, 31 requests! Good thing I love my job, you know?

I Can't Tell

...If having an OkCupid account is generally making my life infinitesimally better or a little bit worse. Like just now I came home in the best mood after a phone call with Tif and a hella long walk and then I checked OkCupid and was definitely in a worse mood, not a better mood. 

It's probably a better idea to audition for The Bachelor or to draw a bath and read my really good book. In other words, Go Big or Stay Home. More on this later.

The Thing Is

I do want to blog more but lately I have been obsessed with the idea of composing a sestina. I won't rest until I do it, except for right now because I'm going to sleep.
