WARNING! This is one of those dreary posts that I oft feel obligated to write. So, if that's not your thing read no further.
Slog--To make (one's way) with a slow heavy pace against resistance.
O, to slog my days away. Through solemn December and blooming May. Who am I slogging against you ask. Well, I shall tell you, my friend. I slog against time. Against stupidity. Against MYSELF! Yes, at every turn and I am thwarted by none other than the own denizens of my mind. They revolt constantly and never agree with my decisions. Therefore I slog.
My entire life seems to be a giant quagmire right now. I have to push through all of this thick foggy stuff in order to interact with other people and sometimes it's just not worth it. Unfortunately it's finally gotten to where I have to push through to talk to myself. I know! No wonder I never make any sense. My mind spends so much time in inactivity that it's started to stagnate. Which means that when I do need to pull something out of it it's usually covered in pond muck and barely discernible.
Of course, the thick foggy stuff may just mean I need glasses.

Across the Universe
Finally! I've been waiting forever to watch Across the Universe and now I have. It was even better than I had anticipated. Definitely my new favorite movie. So I thought I'd get on here and tell everyone to go watch it and maybe do a movie review, but then I said to myself,
' Starr, you don't do MOVIE reviews. You hardly do book reviews...I suppose you could try.'
'I suppose your right. I don't do movie reviews...or book reviews. Why did I bother starting this post again?'
' Promoting something....'
And now here I am. In order to encourage you instead of scare you off, I shall leave you with a list of words instead of a review.
Bono.
Beatles.
Dancing.
Irish Accent.
Hey Jude.
Yeah, I know you want to go watch it now. Tootaloo.

O Book Review!
I'm back my peoples! With me I bring the reviewing of some books.
Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray
An entire series of books! Yes, I've already did a bit of a rough review on A Great and Terrible Beauty and said that I would save my verdict on the book until I finished the trilogy....Well, the verdict is in. I liked it. Yes, indeed. Go read it. Now.
