pointlessness ~

[lookingland]

i was on to something very important yesterday, i'm quite sure of it.

in the morning i built a lovely house.

by afternoon it was looking a little tilted, but i felt confident that the foundation was solid.

by evening it had been reduced to a pile of sticks and bricks without a pillar or post standing.

moments like this, i think there's too much residual "stuff" laying around and it's distracting me (old drafts, old darlings, cooing from closets). makes me dog-tired. periodically i think i'll just torch the whole store and henceforth move forward freshly, but that takes courage i don't got.

i really want some boop with smackers right now.

~ is it just me or has my brain run away with the spoon?

Oh, I think you gots the courage inside of you. Hang in there.

Dear Spoon,
Please return the brain, along with a moo-cow.

I recently got a shredder. It's eaten all sorts of things I didn't need anymore. But, a big fire is good too - only trouble is it's kinda irreversible.

Sorry the foundation got all crumbly, but maybe a sleep will reveal that it only suffers from surface cracks?

*hopes*

oooo big fire is good ~ unfortunately i don't got one.

i guess it's that irreversibility thing that keeps me from having a bonfire.

that, and i don't have any marshmallows.

I don't know about your brain, but mine has unsanctioned affairs all the time. Most of them end badly and brain comes crawling back, hoping I won't notice and say I told you so now get back to work. *kicks brain*

And I love the picture.

trying this again

[(Anonymous)]

your lj is a big fibber. It keeps telling me my posts are going off to be approved, or certified, or disenfected or something --but they never show up.

The feeling you describe seems to be contagious. I dumped a lot of stuff today --but I'd sure hesitate with YOUR stuff because it's got a whole lot more years invested in it. Couldn't you just maybe bury it in the backyard?

Hope you got your boop and smackers ...surely it MUST be the antidote to crumbling houses and brain-spoon elopements and just this fuzzled up feeling ...

surely.

no boop, but i did have smackers (which is the really important part).

yeah i saw you were having dump-o-rama yourself yesterday.

in a way it's a good, unburdening feeling. on the other hand it's skeery!

sadly, no backyard to bury things in anymore. but i do have a half-empty file cabinet from the last massive dumping (hmmmmmmm).

Ha...youve been saying that very thing for years......I know where the junk REALLY ends up.

Besides, you need to cultivate a solid body of literary odss and ends, so when you kick off and I inherit all your junk, I can make a million dollars selling it all off......where else am I going to get the funding for the annual Vegemite Cotillion?

i've begged you to get help.

Geert helps.

Geert does many things, but never more than one thng at a time. We could all learn a valuable lesson from Geert.
