Shut up. It's lunch time.
(Suni's 70 year old microwave is unbelievable! New microwaves don't even compare!)
So, I'm in the middle of my essay on consumption (Economic consumption. Not tuberculosis.) and I'm getting a bit shitted off with having to back up every point I make.
Now, I am aware of the importance of showing support for my statements, I just don't feel like it's always necessary. Maybe I need to stop assuming that every point I bring up is obvious to everyone and just get on with it.
On the other hand, I would like to think some day in the distant future, students will be quoting from me in their essays:

...in western societies today, we find the individual attempting to construct an identity through the products that they purchase, aspiring toward the luxurious lifestyles seen on television and in magazines. This is because "people are dumb-arses, myself included" (S. Miller, 2015, pg. 23).
Whelp. Better get back to it.
I have a particularly humorous/embarrassing story from this morning I would like to tell, but it needs poorly drawn pictures. I've promised myself that I wont tell that story until my essay is finished, so expect that some time in the future.
Bye.
