This is quite possibly the single most monotonous thing I&#8217;ve had to put together here&#8230;  Thirty-odd pages of dry, bland formatting.  It&#8217;s enough to drive one insane after just a few hours, hence the periodic breaks.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what to write in here anymore.  It&#8217;s all a bunch of bunk.  I can never formulate my thoughts into what I&#8217;m trying to say anymore, it seems.  A part of me wants to go on and expound about how I feel, how the weekend was, and especially about <i>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind<\/i>, which I saw on a whim with friends on Friday night, but&#8230;  Another part of me, stronger at the moment, is repelled by the thought of more sappy drivel, more self-indulgent prose that makes it sound like I know what I&#8217;m talking about.  I think about things; sure, but it&#8217;s all bloody academic.  I could expostulate on the worldviews of this or that, or the symbolism behind such-and-such, but&#8230;I don&#8217;t know.  I heated up some pita bread during that last ellipsis and I lost my train of thought.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, in spite of everything, I&#8217;ll still keep writing in here.  It&#8217;s just, well, come back, muse&#8230;  Heh.  Actually what the issue probably touches on is that I&#8217;ve just been so tired of my own inaction lately in the face of things I should be doing, accomplishing, addressing&#8211;and recording the mudane events of my daily life in here only serves to reinforce my stagnation to myself, to throw it back in my face, something I&#8217;m obviously not overeager to do.  Maybe when things quiet down, start moving, get done, I&#8217;ll have more substance.  In the meantime&#8230;  Hands through hair, exhale&#8230;  No words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And the rain is off&#8230; Washing the pollen down the storm drains after the grey monotony that took up residence overhead this morning.
