This is my life at the moment, except I’m not cursed and/or blessed enough to be a PhD candidate yet. I can’t believe I’m crossing my fingers to get in; except I can, because I really don’t know what else I’d do with my life.
It’s not as bad as all that. I just like to be a martyr for the cause. For the cause of what, I don’t quite know, but I’m in Arts and Humanities and my job involves asking the questions, not answering them. (Teehee.)
Basically, this horrifying and awe-inspiring spiral of doom means that I’m a little short on time and inspiration for outfits. I’m terribly sorry. Mea culpa, mea culpa. I tend to spend a great deal of my time wearing very very boring little ensembles so that I can procrastin- work, I mean, work comfortably. I love my outfits and most of them are terribly comfortable but pyjamas are really the most comfortable things in the universe, bar none. Unfortunately, they are also one of the more boring things to photograph, and so I have no outfit photos.
I think, on this graph, I’m at the first stage… more or less. I’m already very bad at brushing my hair and I’ve never had contacts in my life, because I’m terrified of gouging my eye out with my fingernail. (I know. It’s not going to happen. But I stand by the possibility.)
I solemnly swear, legal contracts and pinky promises and all manner of binding oaths, that I will never ever get to the ‘brush teeth?’ stage. Or the ‘socks with sandals’ moment. I am very fond of my teeth (and I am one of those few people who like going to the dentist) and socks with sandals is too many levels of horrendous.
Socks with high heels, however… may wear that tomorrow and will try my hardest to get photos up.
Until then, here are a few of my favourite procrastination-y links to get you through your Mondays:
- Hyperbole and a Half: this will always make me laugh, without fail. I love the madness; I love the awesome scrawls; I love the absurdity. I love it. Do go. Best. Blog. Ever.
- Hark, a Vagrant: history and literature geeks rejoice, because this is awesome. It has Napoleon eating cookies and her take on Shakespeareand oh, it is just epic rolled into a heap of awesome, so have a look.
- EPBOT: for steampunk and sci-fi, fantasy, Disney, and geeky goodness. She went to Dragon*Con. She took photos. I live vicariously through her convention-ing. There was this one time she was driving a Star Wars droid and all these Jawas turned up and pretended to dismantle the droid and aaaugh I died. So. Jealous. She has an awesome life.
- Field Notes: for stationery pr0n — and stuff that is available in Australia, no less! At the moment they’ve posted some amazingly pricy sharpeners, scissors and staplers (and other goodies) by El Casco — all hand-made and the quality is unparalleled. Sadly out of my price range, but I can drool.
- Moleskinerie: for all things notebooky. Well, Moleskine-y. I love seeing what people do with their notebooks and this lets me pry without being busted. Very addictive.
Okay, back to work for me, I’m afraid. Sigh. 😛
