Twitter arguments are so entertaining if you just let your brain cell bounce off the sides of your head like a screensaver when you’re reading them

Are you really a man if you’re not a strange loner kicking up dust as you make your way into an old saloon, with a gun on your hip and a mysterious past

iMessage now allowing you to edit and delete messages after they’ve sent is a travesty. Horrific autocorrect fuelled typos are what fuel the spirit of online messaging

So I went to the bookstore the other day and finally got my hands on a copy of House of Leaves. I’d been meaning to read it for a hot minute, since I found the format intriguing, but only just now got to it. I’ve loved it so far. I’m not really the kind of person who can just sit down and read a book for hours on end, I’ve come to terms with the fact that my brain isn’t really wired for it (this didn’t stop me from majoring in English, honestly I find actually reading the books is arguably the least portant part of that). I’m about a fifth of the way through.

If you don’t know, the very base of the book, which the rest of the story is built upon, is the story of the Navidson family moving to a house that doesn’t quite abide by the laws of physics. For example the family leaves on a week vacation and come back to a room that didn’t exist before. The thing they really get caught up in (by they I mean the Will Navidson and the people he pulls into this whole investigation) is that the interior of the house measures out to be about a quarter of an inch bigger than the outside. Which is of course impossible.

Anyway this all had me thinking what I would do in the same situation (I don’t know why I’d ever find myself measuring my house, and honestly I’d probably be more caught up in the fact that I could afford a house to begin with than to start worrying about the dimensions), because initially I feel like I’d brush it off as a failure in measurement, but the natural human reaction to that would be to measure again. What happens though, when you measure again and again and keep getting the same result? Sure it’s only a quarter of an inch (later proven to actually be 5/16 of an inch) but a break in the laws of physics is still a break no matter how small it is. I feel like I’d have to keep measuring. I know what they say about the definition of insanity and whatnot, but if I had to choose between insanity and the collapse of the rules of the universe as we all know it, maybe I’d be doing us all a favour by just measuring again.

Anyways read House of Leaves, it’s certainly not an easy read, but so far I’d consider it a rewarding one.

I think a lot of our problems would be solved if men were forced to communicate entirely through interpretative dance

I’m exhausted, sweat is pouring down my face, I pant as I reach for water. If I do not obtain it now I may never recover.

What was I doing, you may ask? Was I going for a run, maybe I just finished at the gym. Or perhaps a more… unbecoming activity?

No.

I just suffered the worst fate for an out of shape college student, the right of passage and source of embarrassment for every mediocre white partygoer.

Just Dance.
