[69/366] tv quotes, and another dull day
Mar. 9th, 2020 08:45 pm9 What’s your favorite movie quote?
Nothing springs to mind, but for TV quotes, I can't beat The Thick of It. I've watched it so much that today when someone on Mastodon said
But honestly, it could've been any one of a million things (though I'd be less likely to share the ones that are very misogynistic or sweary where they'd be seen by people who don't know the context).

I finished the essay by 10am; it was due at noon. I had to miss the lecture that's from 10-12 to do it, and then it was so rainy and cold I couldn't make myself go out for the other lecture 4-5, especially since I'd hit miserable rush-hour buses. I can catch up on the lectures, but it's bad for my mental health to miss as much uni as I have been this semseter; I still hate all the seminars and it makes me not want to go, and the less I engage the easier it is to keep disengaging.
Instead, I tried not to lose the whole afternoon to what should have been a more expected crash after my busy weekend, but it hit me by surprise. I think I managed all right: I did laundry and dishes and, since Andrew is out (he went to Blackpool to see Elvis Costello), I vacuumed. I made myself nice dinner without having to go outside to buy anything else (my main goal with it, tbh), and I just skyped my parents.
I didn't feel like I'd done much today, but now that I list it all out...well I'm feeling vaguely accomplished but also less surprised that my mood is so low.

Got a labour candidate email: "we're in the thick of it, so vote X". Not sure this is a compelling message for a vision of the labour fuckity party. It's a slogan as useless as a chocolate dildo....it was all I could do to stop from correcting him (it's "useless as a marzipan dildo"). Instead I just said "They're like a sweaty octopus trying to unhook a bra," which was the first thing that came to mind.
