I realize that ignoring things until they go away is not the best life strategy... but what if I just ignore some things until they go away?

Two cups of coffee and no food until noon was a terrible, terrible idea, and I'm going to fix that just as soon as I can convince myself to stand up. Part of my brain is telling me that eating something is going to make me more nauseated, not less, but that part of my brain is wrong.

Also, standing up requires walking away from the kitten and the laps he's running around me. I'm guessing he's got a case of the wild scrambles because of the changing weather, or it could just be because it's a day ending in Y.

The regional gothic thing that is happening on tumblr (and maybe the wider internet?) is pretty great.

Also, this Fairfield County Gothic entry is not as creepy as it could have been, but is in fact 100% true.

The shops in town are all closing and no one knows why. They are being replaced with frozen yogurt shops.

But seriously, though.

ETA: Also,

You didn’t want to cross through Times Square, but you have to get to Port Authority. A man in an Elmo costume tries to get your attention as you hurry across the plaza. As the light changes, you hear him scream your name. His voice is oddly familiar.

Somewhere in the depths of my phone I have a picture of 5 Elmos outside the Toys R Us in Times Square.

I nearly just edited this into the last entry, but it's my journal and I'll do what I want!

I unignored a thing, and now I never have to think about it again, I hope.

While I was rewarding myself for being a grown-up, by listening to music and also eating soup for belated lunch, I suddenly remembered that there'd been a Jim and Pam (The Office) vid to The Great Escape, which I clearly needed to rewatch.

And then I decided to watch the series finale. And then I realized I'd already seen it, but I watched it to the end anyway. And THEN, I watched the second-to-last episode, which I had *not* seen, and y'all, I just love Jim and Pam so much? A love which in no way explains why I just quit watching The Office after season 5. (Fall 2009 was not a great time for me, I suspect, but a look back at my journal has a lotta tv discussion. And also the tidbit that apparently all my friends here read Twilight? I definitely blocked that out...)

So, depending on how disappointing a turn my hockey narratives take tonight, I may go into a The Office watching spiral.
