I think I may treat myself to Starbucks for dinner.

I heard "Night Moves" on the radio on the way to work this morning and I have no idea why but it, like, immediately slung me into this really melancholic mood. I just wanna go home and drink tea and curl into the corner of my couch with an afghan and watch Merrick IV repair the web that the handyman ruined yesterday

Ugh, the paralysis of the blank page and the incarnating and disincarnating self.

I don't have much news either, except that I seem to have fallen down several sequential internet rabbit-holes of late, and am presently neck-deep in Hockey RPF, which-- well-- I mean. I now know more than I ever thought I'd care to about hockey-the-game (I'm still not going to watch it, of course; though I may occasionally watch clips; and I might one day be in the States again, so I guess I shouldn't rule it out), and I guess that I now have opinions and pairings and OTPs and so on. There is so much inventiveness in this fandom that it's like stumbling into an original shared multiverse populated by writers of imagination and flair with characters who are dynamic, interesting and variously incarnated. I'm mostly reading these things as original fic, which works surprisingly well, though obviously there is boundary seeping. The writers in this fandom, though, blimey. And the number of 100k+ fics out there! Some of these fics have engaged ALL FOUR of my

The blank page, the blank screen: at once so freeing and yet so terrifying. But also, I really do lead such a boring life that I have no idea what to talk about, even if the forum consists of people who might actually be interested in the minutiae of my life. (I made some really excellent pot roast this weekend? My recent doctor's appointment went reasonably well, all things considered? I found a nice liquorice tea? I find it slightly amusing and yet also incredibly sad that none of my coworkers believe that I'm as introverted as I really am? Are these things people would want to hear about? I don't know

Oh, I feel you. I have whole months where I seem to do nothing but go to work and come home again, but sometimes it's not so much what you do as it is how you mythologise yourself and your existence, right? I mean, I am quite naturally somewhat mythological, which helps to storify my life in sometimes bizarre ways, but. I dunno. I could do with a recipe for a good pot roast. Baking I can handle. Cooking... well. I don't really do that much. Need more practice. And I care what your doc says, FWIW

I love that song, but man, it is really depressing. Which version?

[rei_c]

I...am not sure! Whichever version a classic rock radio station would be most likely to play -- I mean, Seger, but I don't know if it was remastered or whatnot.

[nomercles]

Probably Seger. The other well-known one is Metallica's cover, and it is...distinctive. (And the music video is infinitely more depressing).

[rei_c]

It was definitely Seger -- I'm just not well-versed (ha!) in what sorts of versions a typical classic rock station would have.
