antiplenitude

Was pretentiously perusing Kafka when I decided to check my email. What I saw caused me to flail madly and bash several joints against the table. I have my first offer for law omg omg but i really want to get into ENSA-versailles because. D: KIAAAA

Off to play some soothing Sims 3.

superficial

I think it’s really true how hairstyles mould people. Fascinating, also, how starkly it changes the way a stranger might perceive someone. Looking like a Harley Davidsonian butch (at least, until I realized the blingy earstuds had to come off) has turned my skin into vulcanized rubber. Also, Jane Lynch is my hero.

“He is the patron saint of the cult of the body: the almost mystical belief that we have the power to overcome adversity if only we submit to the right combinations of exercise, diet, meditation and weight training; that by force of will, we can sculpt ourselves into demigods.”
— on Bruce Lee, from the “TIME 100” list of icons from the past century

Glee Cast - Hate On Me

LOVING GLEE TO DEATH. Watching Sue Sylvester spew vitriol makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. This is HSM but with brains and more importantly, a soul. DAYUM!

WALAU

i emailed like 5 schools and a grand total of 1 replied in 3 days with 0 useful infos. the educational attache is (pretty but predictably) snobby airhead. i’m seriously having doubts abt getting a  b.arch in france. they may have the kick ass history and culture and context and all. as an undergrad i don’t want to be made miserable by kicking against the establishment constantly for basic info. fuck la what do they want in their stupid portfolio. is it some secret. bitch PLEASE.

gripes nos uno thru tres, quatro being a beam of sunshine

#1 My half-grown bad haircut and baggy attire combined is a magnet for the wrong sort of attention. Street dancer types have been eyeing me up and down. I feel pressurized to start popping and locking.

#2 The two noobs hired to supply sappy balladeering at the wedding downstairs have been trying (and FAILING EPICALLY) to sing. Sometimes they venture into two-part harmony with each other. Bach they are not. The result is unerringly HORRIFYING, DEAFENING, SCARRING, etc. Evidently enamoured of the sounds of their own voices, they have not only liberally employed the vocal echo effect, but also positioned themselves in the centre of this natural amphitheatre in the centre of the estate. Now their slightly hysterical crooning is funnelled into every damn unit.

#3 Jollibean’s matcha soy shake is making me feel a bit ill. I imagine bits of it clinging to my epiglottis, bouncing around my esophagus 10 mins after I downed it.

#4 On the bright side, Vampire Weekend is lovely!
