I guess I haven't written lately because I don't want to sound depressing. No one wants to read ad nauseum about some chick's quarter-life crisis angst. Heck, I don't want to write about it. It's broken recordesque. "Oh, my life is blah blah blah, I cried last night about blah blah blah, I don't know what to do about blah blah blah, I feel blah blah blah about blah blah blah." An unoriginal tragicomedy. lol. So instead, I offer you this:
What I'm supposed to be doing right now: Reading a 50 page introduction on Latin American Romantic poetry before my class in 30 minutes. In Spanish.
What I've finished reading not too long ago: Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami. I need to review it for Collideoscope. Note to self: Do not read Murakami when you're melancholic. He's a brilliant writer, but everyone at some point in his novels are drenched in this haunting, aching aura of loneliness. Geez, Haruki. Can you please offer more than measly crumbs of hope next time?
What I'm going to read soon: An Amazon ordered book recommended by my go-to book guy called Never Eat Alone by Kevin Ferazzi. And I got Amazon-suckered into buying a "people who bought this book also bought this" book. Urban Tribes by Ethan Watters. Interesting-seeming stuff.
Why my stomach is growling like a big dog: I've only had a caramel latte the whole day so far today. That's it. Maybe that's part of why I'm so cranky. Maybe I need to try to put some meat on my bones or something. Make the older folks who know me happy.
My Spanish professor is really . . . happy. A little flighty. She worried me at first, but she's definitely grounded. Homegirl knows her stuff. And she's more hardcore than I expected. So, I'd better get it together.

I like reading whatever you post!!! If you're having a tough day, it gives me a specific to pray for. If you're not posting, then I just pray for God to keep His Hand on you. When you are having one of those jumbled-up days, I laugh right along, because that is most of my life!
You are SO sweet. God bless you! :-)
Well, I for one like reading your blah-blah-blah blitherings! *smile* And let me just say that I am sooooooo glad that you are the one who has to read the 50-page into on Latin American Romantic poetry before YOUR class in 30 minutes. (good luck?) Oh, and IN SPANISH, no less. I wouldn't even get through it in English and I'm a fast reader. And, yeah, ya gotta be careful about reading too many of those melancholy books. They can be downers. *sigh* Oh, and Chantelle, it does help the moods if you EAT! *smile* And drink....keep yourself hydrated! ((HUGS to you))
