Dear Productivity (...)
Posted by Vio(...) I'm sorry. Today's brain space has been hijacked by random memories of all the stupid things I've said or done in the past 15 years.
Thank you.
I showed up, I looked, I made it awkward.
Posted by VioA few days ago I had to fill some forms for professional matters and I came across a question about social skills.
After briefly thinking about it, I realise my social skills include:
- Telling inappropriate jokes in awkward situations;
- Laughing when I shouldn't laugh;
- Enthusiastically saying hello when introverts walk into the same elevator and terrifying them with lively small talk for at least 3 floors;
- Naively pointing the elephant in the room when everybody is avoiding it;
- Asking the waitress if the chocolate mousse is homemade only to turn it down when they proudly confirm it;
- Saying "you too" when the stewardess tells me to enjoy my flight.
- Asking the 14 year old kid who is trying to mug me if he is old enough to be drinking.
Yeah. I don't foresee a very bright future ahead of me.
Very disappointing Mr. Cai Lun. Very disappointing.

The Tate conjucture

I can't promise the moon, on every dark sky of your nights,
or that your song will always be playing in your favourite bar.
I can't promise to be there, every time you go to bed hurt,
because not all hours are mine,
but you know,
with no certainty I assure you,
that with you, every day is an opportunity to be happy.
For being there even when you're not,
but most of all for always being,
wishing me well,
like I wish you,
the sun, the madness, the will.
In this uncertain path that we walk, hand in hand
It matters no more where to,
we will go.
to my sister, with love. ♥

My friends say I'm worrying about the wrong thing
Posted by VioA few days ago I've read on the news that some guy would kill people, by shooting them, asphyxiating them and then slitting their throats.
I'm like, dude, pick one thing.
Hidden Figures
Posted by VioYes. We've seen this recipe before.
And yes, this movie might be an audience pleaser.
But Hidden Figures tells the extraordinary story of three remarkable women at NASA, who carved a pioneering path not only to their gender but to African-Americans in an era of racial segregation.
Beautiful, uplifting and heartwarming, this movie is an assertion of humanity.
A must-see.

Over attachment sindrome for a widespread nation
Posted by VioRemember that feeling when you were a kid and you'd sit on your parent's foot and wrap your arms around their legs so they had to try to walk with you sitting on it? That's every 2 brain cell American right now with Obama.

(the whole album is actually really good. Definitely worth your while.)
