Lazy Days And Sundays

[masterofmidgets]

My List O' Things I've Accomplished Today:

• went shopping - got two weeks' worth of groceries at Trader Joe's (mmmm cheese), and four pairs of awesome socks at Wal-Mart. Money well spent.
• did laundry - I only left it for two weeks after I came back, which is not at all bad! And I did not dragged off into the depths of hell by the demons I am still vaguely convinced lurk in the basement, definitely a plus.
• cleaned my room - or at least my half of my room. The top of my fridge was getting seriously scary, and my desk was as always a disaster area. Don't know how long it will last, but at least it's tidy for a little while.
• did my FAFSA and CSS Profile - well, mostly. I have my mom's info all filled in, I just need to wait for my dad to finish doing my taxes so I can put in my tax info and submit it. I might not make the deadline, but I should only miss it by a few days or so. And my mom and I totally did not get into a screaming fight this time!
• learned that I do not at all like Sylvia Plath. Which I think I already knew, but it's nice to have it reaffirmed. I have every amount of respect and understanding for people IRL who suffer from depression, but I have little to no patience with writers who bang on and on and ON about how difficult their life is, and how miserable are because they are such an delicate artistic flower and no one understands them. Bleh. I can appreciate her skill on a technical level, but on a personal level I really hate her poems.
• learned that Marvel Adventures: Avengers vol 7 is the best book in the history of ever, OMG. In a single book, it has: a Civil War pastiche about take-out; Karl, everyone's favorite henchman; brain-swapping, superpowered baseball with Galactacus, Devourer of Worlds; the Avengers at the state fair; the Hulk chasing a pig, and Steve and Tony going on a date. How does this title manage to be so consistently made of awesome when everything else Marvel is putting out sucks so much?

And now I am playing Sims and reading Tale of Genji for my Religions class tomorrow, and in my near future there may be rather a lot of Xander/Spike fanfiction, because I am rediscovering Buffy. Fun!
