I've been meaning to read Reines. I have heard really nothing but good things, but I find that I barely have any time to read these days. Though I did just start Frank O'Hara's Poems Retrieved.

You're a girl, you had a basket of those vinyl neon threads that you wove into bracelets for all of your friends and the boys you liked and your friends little siblings but NEVER ME
NEVER ME GOD DAMNIT WHY
YOU DON'T DESERVE A GAMEBOY.
i remember those flat thread things that you would weave into a square or whatever and then you could make the square twist and eventually you had an awesome keychain
I write on the subway, on the way to work, on the way home
And when I say write, I mean I am currently in the process of writing a book that I have every intention of publishing (started September 2013, currently on my second round of edits)
My +1 got a new job to where our commutes suddenly overlap. I let her know, when she suggested that we could commute together, that I would prefer to not do that as that is really the only guaranteed time I have to work on this book.
She agreed then, but it has become kind of an issue lately.
Now, occasionally, I do join her for the commute, but I would say 4/5 days a week we commute separately for this reason.
Moving it around in the day is not really an option. Mornings are hectic and I often brave the morning to get us coffee, make breakfast, etc. Nights don't really work because we cook often and spend our evenings together. I usually have about an hour to myself, but this tends to be after 10PM when I am too exhausted to do anything like focus on the minutiae of language.
So, the question I have is, am I being selfish?
No. It' say thing you're committed to doing, and when you're done writing the book you can commute with her because you are not working.
Until you start the next one.
This is a time to ask her to be supportive rather than upset. Maybe the commute isn't the issue, and she doesn't believe in your project. That could be the genesis of your problem...
Well yeah it could be that.
It could also be the irrational feeling that if you're having "me" time that could be "us" time it's bad and how dare you. There are lots of people who think like this too.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

It is a safe bet in general that I am not talking amputation when referring to losing a dick.
uh hrmm
getting an erection and running into a wall really fast so it inverts?
thats how it works right
speaking of erections and surgery were you here the other night when I looked up sra? You are advised not to think sexy thoughts after surgery because increased blood flow can bust stitches.
Omg... how do you do that?
I get like million boners a day.
How does one keep that from happening?
Presumably, "don't do this or your vagina will explode" is a good incentive.

i drink a lot of water per day. probably something like 100oz daily or more like ~160oz on days i exercise. makes me feel good. i never feel uncomfortably bloated or sick. works well for my body.
I've certainly never come close to topping out and I haven't been drinking enough lately so I'm with you
water makes me feel good and I'll be damned if the government is gonna keep me away from it

Body mass might be higher, I don't know chu's weight. A 100 lb woman is going to need less than a 150 lb man is going to need less than me, and probably chu (I don't know his weight I hate asking about people's weights it feels mean even for me).

neither my wife nor i struggle with weight, but we just dont buy a lot of junk food regardless. no soda, no candy, no ice cream, no chips. (well, okay, we buy fritos but that's because life is meaningless without them)
i dont know where i'm going with this but i guess it is to say that i dont think we live especially "healthy" lifestyles. one of my friends commented the other day that my wife and i are "health food" nuts or whatever, and I don't think that's especially true? unless, being a health food nut means that you eat an apple or an orange instead of a bag of cheetos as a snack. i dunno. i feel normal?

Like I think every chat girl with a 3ds has pokemon.
I only got it cause it was free alright
I was originally going to pass because of the enormous time suck of my life that it inevitably represents
I haven't even started playing it yet...I need some time away from my 3DS after Bravely Default
Did you finish Bravely Default?
I've become quite annoyed with the story line as of Chapter 5.
Yeah i finished
You can breeze through the story line by turning off encounters and just bulldozing through (spoilers for post-ch5)
all the the temples...over. and over. and over again. I'm not joking. No, there is no excuse for it. but it doesn't take much time if you're singlemindedly heading for the ending.
Or you can be the completionist whore I am and grind through all the asterisk bosses (over and over and over) for additional dialogue and character development.
DO NOT SKIP the vampire castle level though there is a lot of story hidden in there the first time you go through
Ch 6-8, the asterisk battles start showing up in groups. If you fancy a challenge and like the gameplay (which is what kept me hanging on through those final chapters), then go to town (on getting your ass kicked)

according to wiki, healthy kidneys can process ~1 liter of water/hour
so taking into account the water you get from your food, that is an awful lot to drink

Irond WillWARNING: NO HURTFUL COMMENTS, PLEASE!!!!!Cambridge. MAModeratormod
i basically only get angry at niche nerds if they are unpleasant. if they're a little bit oblivious and consumed by their thing i might find them kind of lame? i suppose i wouldn't enjoy speaking with them. but i don't really dislike them. i just prefer a more rounded person.
i'm only going to have aggressive feelings of dislike if they're the special breed of domineering, rude, resentful nerd. i find that is a pretty small minority, though.
i feel sort of weirdly patriarchal to, like, the young nerds i see bumping around boston from time to time or especially around pax time
like i am kind of seized with this sense that they are making some bad decisions and limiting themselves and i find myself embarrassed for them
i am like
"take a shower! learn some things that maybe girls are interested in! maybe put more effort into combing your hair than your exquisitely documented rpg setting!"
my orientation towards them is definitely not anger or even dislike (though tbh i really don't want to spend time with them). i just feel kind of bad for them.
now dudes my age who are still going strong with that sort of thing i am a lot more judgy about.
I understand a lot of this sentiment
although I have no patience for it anymore and I just remove myself from the social company and spaces those folks tend to occupy
I don't do conventions anymore, if I deign to go into a gaming or comic shop at all, it's an in and out affair to grab what I want and leave with speaking to as few people there as possible
I'm tired of trying to "mentor" these people and I honestly don't think my patriarchal attitude towards them is actually helpful to them in any meaningful way
so I just avoid them
I think it makes everyone happier, they don't want me around anyway
yeah i mean i do not engage them at all. i find them kind of insufferable to be around in the first place and like, i am positive that they feel they have zero commonality and nothing to learn from an old guy wearing a tie who doesn't even watch animes.
it's just sort of how i feel about them. i guess i don't even particularly express my views on it outside of this forum.
and although nerds are the ones that kind of stick out to me and that i'm more sympathetic with, i feel roughly the same way regarding most of the other hardcore self-isolating subcultures - the sj crusaders, the juggalos, hippies, pot culture people, evangelicals, music nerds, etc.
when i was ~185lbs and running 50 miles a week i drank even more. probably averaged 1.5gallons per day, which is uh... just under 6 liters in germany land

this is important time for you to get work done on a goal you have and she should respect that

It's work time. You are working.
Ask her if she'd rather you carve that two hours out of every evening you spend together. I bet you don't want to, but the choices are
1 not work on book
2 cut existing time together to work on book
3 keep commuting alone to work on book.
Not sure it is worth linking.
Thom posted something and I did and it was over. Mostly telling the other guy he was wrong.
