I couldn’t sleep, so I tried to imagine myself in a cool place and be kind of meditate-y , but it didn’t work.
I was like, “Ok, I’m in a warm cottage. Where is the cottage? What does it look like? I should think about these things before I get in the zone. I guess it’s in a flat area. And there are crazy rock spikes all around. The cottage is one of those little A-frame ones. Kind of goofy looking. And there are tunnels connecting it to the other cottages. There should be a cat by the fire. Cats and fires are cozy. The cat is tending the fire somehow. It is a super intelligent cat species of the many that inhabit the village. They would totally conquer the humans if they had a spoken language.”
And then I spent the next 45 minutes thinking about the intelligent cat species. I suck at this.
This blog is becoming almost exclusively me talking about sleep issues while ridiculing myself, cool.
19th Century Folk Art Paintings of Vesuvius Before & After (sold)
Finally got my hands on some nice Volcano paintings. These are painted on thick wooden slabs, and are unusual for their folkiness. Vesuvius paintings usually come from Italy, but these have a very American quality I think. The before painting almost looks a little Hudson-Rivery.

My grandma created a small electrical explosion in her house yesterday, as old people are wont to do with their old houses and unrealistic concepts of circuitry. Drama ensued. Nobody got hurt, except emotionally. I ate a bacon and cheese bagel (it was amazing), and will also eat some ice cream soon.
That is all for now, tumblr. I will continue to address you as a person, tumblr.
I’m sorry but Mako continues to disappoint and frustrate me. He was so egotistical this episode in thinking that Korra was on pursuing her investigation because of her “jealousy” of his and Asami’s relationship. But to compound matters he had the nerve to say that their friendship would be over if she didn’t drop her duties for him.
I’m sorry, this is the girl that came into your team when you lost a player. That put her life in danger and helped rescue your brother. That saved your pro-bending team numerous times and offered you a place to live. Korra has done so much for him, but the second they disagree strongly on something, he gives her an ultimatum.
Not cool Mako, not cool.
and then at the end he’s like “hey, korra, can I still live at your house?” . I would say no no no. Korra is so gracious , damn it.

Out of town so I can do the graduation ceremony thingy. I just want to go home and watch the legend of Korra in the morning. A whirlwind of emotion is happening. Now that I’m here I realize how nice my life was when I was here away at school, and how comparatively awful and depressing it is now. If I stay here too long, I will be driven insane from the beauty and wonder.
Not that anyone knows what I’m even talking about, and stuff.
I had fish and chips for dinner, and that made me feel a little better. Also I had a whole pint of beer. The first 1/3 was just tasting , and then the second third was indecision, and the last third was just disposing of the excess. It was a big achievement for me. I’m talking too much.
This is probably going to be one of those text posts that I delete after a few days . Because it wasn’t good. Yes.
If you are among those that consider Leif Ericson the first european to land in North America (ahem) you might find this piece of info interesting.
If he encountered any Native Americans on his way they were most likely members of the Beothuk tribe that inhabited northern parts of the continent.
Unfortunately, the Beothuk people are now extinct.
