1. I am starting (yet another) blog. I already have my poetry blog. Now I've created The Troubles about politics, gender, society, and all of those other things that sound kind of boring and unfailingly appear on any number of undergraduate course syllabi. Of course, I can't access the e-mail account I signed up under (a prime example of The Troubles, when expanded outward to include thoughts on technology, oversimplification, lack of personal accountability on a human level) so there's nothing there yet. But mark my words.

2. I am going to get a tattoo as soon as fucking possible. Something like:



except where the pelican is (it is a Pelikan nib, after all) I want to get a crow. Nice! But I've reached the absolute end of my tolerance for most things, and in the past I have found that a new tattoo will relieve some of the pressures of my overwhelming misanthropy for up to two months. Good times!

Hooray!
