Vacation Hangover
I watched too much TV yesterday and it made me feel all icky. Ads for diet aids and toilet wands; the best celebrity bodies of 2005; mind-numbing and addictive like crack; fin de siecle nightmare!
What do you do when the stupid media and the stupid culture are getting you down? Arguing with your boyfriend, who more or less agrees with you but in a different way (academics!), is not that productive, although it can be interesting. And is also addictive.
Especially when he might have argued his point more lucidly than you did yours, even though you are still pretty sure you didn't concede much. And it's not a contest, you remind yourself.
And then you do a little dance for the research gods and hope that tomorrow a new leaf will be overturned, now that the holidays are through.
All of my sentences (except this one) seem to have commas in the middle of them. Kids, am I guilty of comma splicing?
