i was thinking about the phrase "cum dumpster" and how unspeakably awful it is... it's like the worst combination of words, even phonetically, and each amplifies the other in feedback loop of disaster... because, ok, "dumpster" has that nearly onomatopoetic garbage-bag impact in the first half, the latter half evokes some horrible 90s videogame character. and then of course "cum" is already balancing precariously on the edge of nightmare-worddom, occasionally relieved of its horror only by the alternate spelling oft found in feminist poetry which is "come", which can be actually really sensual and beautiful if used elegantly. but "cum" as the commoner knows it is no good. "cum dumpster". @dictionary.com, got a new phrase of the day for you
as senior year treads onward ive been finding myself assigning work for myself... it's like reverse senioritis. the blog's back, and now i feel mysteriously obligated to compose informal research papers with all the satisfaction of academia but also the liberation of being able to (knowledgeably) shit all over the place uninhibited about whatever i want. plus my art's been steady lacking so i have to soothe my self-esteem with some other endeavor before i crumble to bits.
