At this point I'm really just talking to myself,

Which is something I do a lot actually.

In the post I'm going to revel in the mundane. Because I am currently in an unhealthy, obsessive relationship with my laptop. And Microsoft Word. Maybe that makes me a modernist 'cause I'm basking in the glory of the quotidian. ( HAHHAH okay fine I know it's not funny.)

So I went cycling today. Then I stopped at the lake in the park and wanted to take a picture of the sunset. 'Cause I was trying to be a hipster. But it was cloudy so I cycled (grumpily) to a hawker centre  in a really old part of the neighbourhood. I decided it was probably a sign that I could not pull off being a hipster. I suppose I've traditionally been much better at "awkward-and-kinda-nice-with questionable- fine- motor- skills -and- a- tendency- to -drop- ceramic -cutlery" anyways.

So this hawker centre is really dimly lit. And half the stalls are closed. But the food and sugarcane juice is really good. So I will always go there anyway. But mostly I am intrigued by the industrial wall fans there and I really want to get one for my bedroom.

Also, I have in recent times been reflecting on the state of my finances as a penniless student. I think giving General Paper tuition is both a fulfilling and lucrative way to earn extra cash. But also, I kinda want to have a life over the weekend. Maybe the solution to all this is to sort my Body Shop addiction out. Does anyone know of a support group I might join? All my cosmetics are from Body Shop. Someone told me recently I look prettier now than before. Actually it's just because Body Shop makeup is very flattering (duh, I mean that's what makeup is supposed to do right?).

Okay now I am going to start planning for my sociology paper on the TV show Jamie's School Dinners. I chose that show because I'm supposed to write on the benefits of reality TV programs and I think the School Dinners show is a rare, positive example of one. But actually it's because I like Jamie Oliver's accent and now I can re-watch the show in the name of research. Yes, that is how I make most of my life decisions. That is how I ended up writing a paper on the alleged promotion on consumerist ideals in the Dr Suess children's book "Green Eggs and Ham" last semester.

That is all for my brief flirtation with modernist writing.
