Dispatches from Asteroid Hopkins

unarticulated

There is so much to discuss these days, but my genius council was on the case, and in just ten minutes, distilled it down to the core problem: packaged cucumbers. It was one of the days, where i would have shot myself in the head to escape this situation.

Kirby's teacher had a talk with him about his grades for this semester. Nothing serious, just a reflection on what he thinks he'll get compared to what he's actually getting. He underplayed himself by one or two grades.

Started to read a stab at a biography of austria's current leading right wing politician; a stab because the man himself isn't as open about his private life as other's in his position. In the first few pages, it seemed like i understood him, as far as my capacity for empathy allows. It's like in my family, unarticulated trauma/hurt/feelings.
