First thing this morning, I spilled milky coffee all over my skirt. Fortunately, my skirt is already the color of milky coffee, and looks exactly the same as before.

I also switched to a new composition book, for the same reason as usual (reaching the last page of the old one. P.S. good quality pre-consumer-recycled composition books are 75 cents at Staples right now.) This is always a period of agitation, not because I'm attached to a given notebook as an object, but because my notebook is a living and in progress document that contains To Do lists and scraps of current projects; it takes at least a month for me to transfer or complete everything that needs it, which means I have to carry and flip through two notebooks and sometimes I don't finish a story or remember I've written a poem because it has fallen into a cross-notebook gap. This only happens every nine months or so, fortunately, and the idea of a different system - separate notebooks for lists, stories, songs, etc - is repellent, a poor analogy for my creative process, much less portable, and full of excuses for not writing things down until I know where they're going. (This is, arguably, why I can only write short stories in a word processor and have to do everything else longhand first.)

i cannot afford to do anything but go and look, but i am considering going down to absinthe. i am also considering going to sleep and getting an early start to the job search continuation tomorrow morning. idk which sounds better. mad swirl minus alcohol does sound fairly horrible though ...

I would normally volunteer to join, but I'm pretty exhausted and thinking of turning in early myself.
