Tired and stressed out.
I've had four hours of sleep. I need to get my images to the printer, and I've taken the day off work to do it. Too much stuff to do, too little time, and I am burning both ends of the candle to get it done.
The world is getting me down. Every day I read about something that erodes what little faith I have in humanity. I can't justify believing in some prevailing goodness of humanity when shit. like. this. happens.
I'll try to write more when I'm not so busy, and not so dead.

You really need to read Sartre's Nausea, I totally connected to Roquentin's disenchantment and disconnection. Of course it's not all the time. There's a great passage in it where he encounters a philanthropist and berates them convincingly, it was so satisfying that it made me hope I would run into a philanthropist so I could berate them.
Also, Camus once wrote something like "He who despairs over an event is a coward but he who holds hope for the human condition is a fool". I imagine Ms De Beauvoir would have been irritated that Camus wrote "he" but otherwise I like the quote.
