It is deadly... for my wallet! It's a direct sales thing (which admittedly, I'm a weirdo for realsies and love that stuff - not selling, but going to and buying from haha - I'm always like "YES I WILL COME TO YOUR PAMPERED CHEF PARTY!"). Partly because it's the perfect social event for someone who is only semi-social. I get to go, be around people, but everyone is busy looking at things and I have an automatic topic to discuss. "Yes! I love their pizza cutters." or "Yes! It is hard to decide between blue and green. I'm leaning towards blue."

This thing is some kind of clothing company. Anywho, their "thing" is they call it a pop-up which makes me think of a random woman just popping up hurling brightly colored leggings in the air.

But I bought a pair. Possibly two.

As i was cleaning the desk up I found 2 more journal articles that I have not read. This is my problem, I can't cull my references properly and I get overwhelmed by all the stuff I have to read, but I don't have to read all the stuff but I do. I need to be more selective.

I am writing it for a subject called The Craft of Academic Writing. Its really boring there is limited choice of topics to write about and I really like commas
It is also a compulsory subject for all students at this uni.
Thanks for this!

I am so sleep-deprived, even No. 1 could not irritate me today. She wasn't trying very hard, though.

Can't you just play a cricket match or something to settle things?

It could all be over in a few overs!

(Or, since it's cricket, probably not...)

No I like the idea of giant catapaults and giant pavlovas flying across the Tasman Sea.

Home from T.

Apologize for the excessive tears. Gah. This **** keeps getting harder and harder...

I still want to make a Pavlova.... and I want ice cream. I don't even like ice cream...

One doona washed and ready to take downstairs. My thesis statement is written. Time for a coffee. I still so badly want to ambush my T. Is it such a bad idea?
Oxford commas, meh! There is so much other stuff to obsess about. As long as they is oxford comma continuity within the written piece who cares.
