I ate another bowl of disappointment this morning and studied the mini-marshmallow blobs to try to determine their symbolism. So abstract. So Jackson Pollack.
My discontent was noteworthy enough to garner an answer from Katie at General Mills.
Hello Ms. M:
Thank you for contacting General Mills with your inquiry. The mini marbits Lucky Charms are a limited edition item. Once [...]

Curse you General Mills
It all started Tuesday morning when I opened a shining new box of Lucky Charms…
Ah the magic! Wait a minute. What’s this? Instead of the sparkling, sugary goodness I’ve come to expect from my charms there are some shriveled, careworn imposter lumps. It’s like my cat buried the charms in the litter box, licked them off and put them [...]

Good, bad, ugly
GOOD
The Dear Hunter, the band I’ve been listening to for weeks. Act I-The Lake South, The River North. Act II: The Meaning of and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading. Act III – Life and Death.

Driving just [...]

Also
Also, my eyes hurt. All the time.
I just want to sit in a dark room and listen to rain and thunder.

Something about the sun and the light
The sun has been hurting my eyes.
The house is cool and dark, except in the kitchen, where the sun angles through the corner of the window. It reminds me of Iowa, even though I’ve never been there.
There’s a small pile of dirty dishes from the morning. I throw away junk mail and feed the cats.
I feel like fashioning something with [...]

Spelling lesson
Dysfunction is spelled with a Y.
and a D: Do you ever stop talking?
and a Y: Y why aren’t you treating me like a hero when I tracked down information you were too lazy to get?
And an S: Saying the same thing over and over- and over
And an F: Feeble
And a U: Understanding anything I’m saying?
And an N: [...]
