mang, you sure are an early riser-- or wait, you're on east coast time.

i'll start from the end: yes! ixxxmass is awful but if you use it to your own ends it can be a good time because nobody writes or calls about work. i have an excuse to stay in bed all day-- like an extra sunday. also, one (not me) can get a paid holiday and dedicate it to worshipping the devil, for example-- i'm all about cultural appropiation. take their holiday and turn it into whatever you want.

and yes thanks the existential turd has been flushed so i'm way way less stressed and can have play fights again.

anyway, as for the generous/critical-- you are absolutely right. i am a burned out reader. i was forced to read too many things i didn't like, and now i bore very quickly. i'm like a tired and jaded old whore who has seen it all and chews gum while servicing the johns.

if you want to preserve your love of reading, don't turn it into a job by things like attending grad school. (my love of film, by the way, exploded in grad school-- it was a way to get stories and shirk my duty.)

but reading was my first love, so i continue to look for something that will make me feel something, anything, in spite of my cosmic ennui. i fail most times, but i keep digging. so i'm not ungenerous in that sense-- i haven't dismissed writing.

now i'm hungry and i need coffee and some food and i'll return to pester you with a response to this whole "first world problem" thing, which is not really about first world problems i think, but maybe more to do with various provincialisms... but COFFEE FIRST, DAMMIT. it's barely 9am here.

meanwhile, i leave you with this...

haaa haa haaaaa
haaa haaa haaa haaaa

(i'm sorry)
