ifeelbetterWallace Stevens: "Summer is like a perfection of thought."
William Carlos Williams: "In summer, the song sings itself."
Henry James: "Summer afternoon--summer afternoon...the two most beautiful words in the English language."
And yet, despite knowing such great thinkers feel this way about summer, I'm much more aligned with the Manny school of thought:
One of these days, I might just end up on some cars in the street, is all I'm saying.
I can't get myself to do anything. Not dissertation, not funtimes writing, not necessary household work, not grocery shopping....
Things I have been doing:
1) watching In Treatment. Makes me want therapy just for the helluvit.
2) re-watching Sports Night because I will always love Dan. I have this thing for characters named Dan/Danny. Especially written by Sorkin. IDEK.
3) I went on a mini-vacation with the family. We're about to go on the longer one to Denmark but I am temporarily back in my Real Adult Person home to do some "work" beforehand. Now if I could just get some actualfacts work done, that'd be aces.
If only it wasn't summer...I would have so much energy and will to accomplish shit if it wasn't summer!
