even your emotions had an echo in so much space

I broke my promise today.

I ate at McDonald's. Please don't judge me. I had to eat before class and well, that was the best option given the time that I had. And I remember now...those fries are damn good. And the crispy chicken wrap is not too shabby either.

Class this week was super emotional for some reason - we just read The Known World and I tell you, as beautifully painful as that book is, if you haven't read it, you need to. And read some interviews with Edward Jones and just soak it all in. Times like these I remember why I want to marry a smart writer man so that I can spend the rest of my life reading freaking great literature. And I do mean Literature. But all in good time.

And I'm getting annoyed with the dancing iPods on my screen so I'll be done. And I know you all were waiting for something profound, so here it is.

Quote o' the day:

"Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone." -Octavio Paz, The Labyrinth of Solitude, 1950
