Cause that’s not creepy AT ALL.

My life this week seems to involve an awful lot of adhesive labels. Hundreds, actually.
I am so sleepy, and yet, I do not want to fall asleep. Also, crap, August is almost here, and with it, some mild homelessness. Want me to housesit your Bay Area home from the 15th of August to the 15th of September? Cause I am both competent and cheap/will pay you for the privilege. C’mon, you TOTALLY deserve a month-long vacation. Soon.
I finished the filing! The organization of it all is a thing of sheer beauty. Now, off to fedex.

Not cool, dermatology. Not cool.
So, 4 out of 5 books on the list given to me by my professor to help me write this paper are already checked out—all with the same due date. Clearly, someone else is ALSO writing my paper. And here I thought I was so original. At least I’m not the only one still working on the damn thing?

SOMEONE takes IMDB way, waaaaay too seriously.
I really like this theme, but the paragraphs were set to indent instead of have an extra space between them, which annoys me.
I managed to turn off the indent, but I can’t get my space back. GAH!
My Hello movies reviews are “100% thumbs up.” I feel like such a pushover.

also, loads and loads of of montreal covers.
Man, I really need to clean my room. And to have less stuff. I should get on that.
Dear Internet,
I have a shameful secret.
I like filing. I mean, not MY stuff, but other people’s stuff. I like the whiffling noise it makes, the satisfying cabinets of neat folders, the neat dusty outlines where piles of papers used to be, the alphabetization. (I love alphabetization.)
I’m tired of hiding this obsession from the world. I WILL NOT BE SILENCED.
UP WITH FILING!
Love,
Mary
Also, that was the most boring post I have ever made. EVER.
I only have three IM buddies online. I think that is a world record low.

CK Williams - "Tar" →
Entering a long list of addresses into filmaker, I stumbled onto his. It’s a strange sensation of sudden…power. I should start up a correspondence, so that someday, when I’m famous, biographers can talk about my letters to famous people. If only I had something to SAY to CK Williams.
I think RSS feeds need to be snappier. Also, we need an easier name to say than “RSS.” For such a short word, it has an awful lot of syllables.

I have been given an impossible task, that IF POSSIBLE, would need to be performed using software I also DO NOT HAVE.
Gotta love a challenge?
How did I cut off Vikram’s head? I think I scooted something with my finger before I posted it. Also, can I make it stop saying “Posted with LifeCast”?
At first I was afraid, I was petrified….
…and then I realized I wasn’t a disco song.
Vikram: you know it'd be hilarious if you just walked into the room and flung a stick of butter at her
Mary: she would be surprised
Vikram: if you threw salt at her, then you could be charged for a salt and buttery!

Well, DUH. Everyone knows you need a guidebook to date an asian. Haven’t I ever shown you mine? I had to certify that shit.

My space bar keeps getting mysterious smears of ink. I am not using a pen. There is no ink on me. The only conclusion I can therefore draw is that there is a poltergeist in the office and he is trying to steal my fingerprints.
wordvomit:
thinking about adding the following to my daily film and music regimes:
draw one picture a day
write one postable album review a day
read one book a month
make one website a month
sounds tiring…and also awesome. Maybe I should write one poem a day….
