how many ways of feeling lousy have i found

[the_siobhan]

I keep meaning to post and then... not getting around to it.

I took an actual vacation, like actually left my house and buggered out of the city. I have pictures of squirrels and frogs and shit. I slept like a baby. I walked in the woods. I ate like a horse. (I can't cook for shit, but I will happily wash dishes if somebody else is cooking). I read. I did some writing. I got home feeling happy and rested and ready to take on the world.

A week later my mood made that high-pitched whistling noise made famous by cartoons and indicative of something coming in for a very fast very hard landing.

*sigh*

Juxtaposition is a film technique used to illustrate the contrast in a narrative. It is also a really useful tool for looking at one's life and going, "OK, I think I see where the problem is here...."

The only way out is through.

Let's remember, Killdozer caused his own problems. https://sofrep.com/news/folk-hero-or-real-villain-the-complex-tale-of-colorados-killdozer/

Well, if I had heard of that, I'd quite forgotten.

That was quite the wild read.

I always forget about him. Killdozer makes me think of the band.

Then again, my brain is such that most references make me think of a band.

I has convinced me I need to do it more often.
