Watch This Space, it'll be doing something interesting again soon

So I'll start posting again because I need somewhere to dump my thoughts on all of the reading and writing I'm going to do for my thesis.

Here are some quotations from a book I read this quarter that is called Why Did I Ever. It is by Mary Robison and it is better than her short stories.

“Here’s a sign that reads: ‘PORK!’ Some signs aren’t there to make you happy.”

[heading] All We Do is Argue

“‘I know what you’re thinking,’ I say to myself.

‘O.K.,’ I say. ‘What?’

‘It’s that thing in your hand. You’re thinking that it goes someplace.’

‘Then where does it go?’ I ask.

‘Well, not up there…,’ I say as I’m climbing the stairs.

‘So important to you to be right,’ I say, climbing back down.”


“Overconfidence is a mistake for me. Not a big one, but it kicks open the door for several others.”

“I just regret everything and using my turn signal is too much trouble. Fuck you. Why should you get to know where I’m going, I don’t.”
