Little bit depressed today, so I’m doing an assignment for tomorrow, watching TV later and going to bed early. No writing, unfortunately.
I’ll probably be able to face the world again tomorrow.

Gideon Largeman: You've been avoiding me.
Andrew Largeman: No I haven't been, come on.
Okay, maybe I have been.
Gideon: I'm sure you can find lots of things in your life that you can be angry about, but what I do not understand is why you're so angry at me. All I ever wanted was for everyone to be happy again, that's all I ever wanted.
Andrew: But when were we all ever happy, dad? When... You always say that, but when was that? When was this time that you have in your mind that we were all so happy? 'Cause I don't have it in my memory. Maybe if I did, I could help steer us back there, but I just... You and I need to work on being okay if that's not in the cards for us.
Gideon: Well, we might have a shot at it, if you can forgive yourself for what you did.
Andrew: What I did. What I did. Okay, let's, let's do it. We're here, right? Let's do it. I'm gonna forgive myself for what I did, are you ready? I was a little boy, and somebody made a shitty latch. That's what I think. That's what I think about the whole thing, okay? And I'm not gonna take those drugs anymore, they left me completely fucking numb, I have felt so fucking numb to everything I've experienced in my life, okay? And for that... for that, I'm here to forgive you. You've always said all you wanted was for us to have whatever it is we wanted. Well, maybe what mom wanted more than anything was for it to all be over. And for me, what I want more than anything in the world is for it to be okay with you for me to feel something again. Even if it's pain.
Gideon: Well, you're going against your doctor's recommendation, that's a pretty weighty experiment to take on, don't you think?
Andrew: This is my life, dad. This is it. I spent 26 years waiting for something else to start, so no, no, I don't think it's too much to take on, because it's everything there is. I see now it's all there is. You and I are gonna be okay, you know that, right? We may not be as happy as you always dreamed we would be, but, for the first time, let's just allow ourselves to be whatever it is that we are. And that'll be better, okay? I think that'll be better.

Me: Oh my god I am going to kill myself.
Friend: How? Poison? Knife? Gas? Trying to sit through a Justin Bieber concert?
Me: I'm thinking of jumping out my window, but I might land on the balcony of the person living below me. So slashing my wrists might be less risky.
Me: I love how the first thing you ask is how, and not why.

– Leonard F. Wheat’s ridiculous explanation of 2001: A Space Odyssey, which, according to him, contains three allegories, one of which has to do with Homer’s The Odyssey. This doesn’t even deserve to be on Wikipedia.

Ben nu bezig met Camus, die een essay (lees: boek) heeft geschreven dat De mens in opstand heet, en in de kantlijn ergens in hoofdstuk 1 heb ik geschreven: ‘opstand = een positie buiten de heiligheid, dus byebye geloof, hello ratio’.

Frasier is not a morning person.
Daphne: Oh, good morning, Dr Crane. Not a morning person, are we? Well, never you mind, I am. Can't very well be a good healthcare provider if you're not up with the cock. I've already taken your father for his morning constitutional. Such a remarkable man. Thirty years on the police force! I can understand why you'd want him to live here, although not many sons would do that. Not without getting paid for it. Anyway, coffee's made and I took the liberty of doing a shop. They don't serve much tripe in Seattle, do they?
Frasier: And you are...?

Late night cup of tea and going to bed early. I’m planning to take one final sprint with my final final, which is due on Friday. It’s about French existentialism, so I have to know stuff about Sartre, de Beauvoir and Camus, which is horrific. I sucked during classes, so I’m a little nervous about the exam. Oh well.
