The Pit of Blah is getting muddy :(
Ma called, worried because I've been pretty AWOL recently. Of course, at the time I was locking my bedroom door for the fourth time and loaded down with gloves, purse and umbrella and more than a little frustrated. We said we'd talk later,but she's not home. She was cooking. Waltzed over to the phone to gripe at me for not working on getting a social network and for not being "autonomous and independent", [Translation: "stop sucking up all our cash, ho"]. My replies were nonsensical and garbled because I don't talk to people anymore. I just end up all blocked up for words and flailing.
Today's walkabout sucked yet more suckety popsicles, now in rain-flavour! Stupid shitty city with nothing to do...
I never did send that email to my supervisor, telling her how I'm actually working. (Well, *finger quotation-marks*, but yeah.) Stupid introduction, all "Heeey, this paragraph's getting a might long, ain't it? No no no, don't cut it short! You need to say this stuff! But not here! No, not there either. No, you can't mix-and-match, what is this, a buffet?"***
It took me literally a couple of hours to fully change from outdoors clothes to indoors clothes and settle back to being indoorsy and do regular indoorsy stuff. That doesn't make sense. I mean, I'm just not doing stuff anymore. Except being all blank and/or wibbly. Dunno what's better. I mean, the blankness is just so I'm not wibbly - emotional!aneasthesia - so I guess that's better. But then that means that I don't think anymore. Zip. Oooh, there's the erratic thought now and then, but - *stares at cursor for ages* Yeah.

ETA: The Cuddleiscious Leopard of Win is gone! Gooooooone! There is nothing to cuddle at the top of the stairs! Woooooooooe!
[Translation: The stuffed giant!leopard seems to have disappeared. I am upset.]
Links of the Day:
katrina87's Fanmix: Leave The Earth Behind You And Take A Walk Into The Sun (Doctor/Rose) and Fanmix: I'll find a way (Rose Tyler EP) are pretty but probably too old to have viable download links.
exotik's Master Picspam 1 and 2 (John Simm in Doctor Who) is a thing of sexy, sexy beauty. No one should look that fuckable in a black suit and tie. Unf indeed.

**** For a given value of "better". Obviously, there's something wrong with my own definition of the word.
