Fashion Fridays with Kurt Vonnegut!

…So, this is embarrassingly late. But it’s still technically Friday, so it counts! I didn’t forget completely; I just had a crazy busy day. At any rate, let’s get down to brass tacks.

Suspenders.Holy shit, Kurt in suspenders. I didn’t know how much I needed that in my life until I saw this photo. He just looks good, and yet so casual. Not to mention, this is the same way he holds his cigarette in that photo of him that reminds me of my dad (the one in front of the house). I suppose that must have been a habit of his.

“Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.” -Kurt Vonnegut 

Very clever and thoughtful- I like it!

assterisk replied to your post: I have been in the library for approximately seven hours.

this made me laugh and want to hug you and aw honey i’m sorry but hahah

hahaha, it’s ok. my friend who took the picture couldn’t stop laughing. and neither could i. we finally calmed down and then i tried to move the bookmark ribbon in the book and we lost it again.

Because the books that I need for research are all on course reserve, which means you can’t check them out of the library. So I’ve had to take all my notes here instead of at home. Not to mention one of the books is HUGE:

That is me, a normal-sized person, sitting in a chair that is supposedly intended for normal-sized people but which was clearly built for Hagrid. And that is a book, supposedly intended to be read by normal-sized people but clearly designed for Hagrid’s full-giant mother.

I look like a hobbit.

I am dying to go home and eat something (it’s 8:30pm by the way). If I were a hobbit, I’d have missed at least three or four meals by now.
