Hi everyone fun exercise for you. Pay attention to the commercials you're forced to watch - the way that they're made and designed, what is different about them right now, compared to 5 or 6 years ago? 2 years ago, even? The graphic design, shot composition, the way that food and products are styled. Are they as retro-minimal as they used to be? Are they reserved and low key, like a commercial for a product trying to convince you of how advanced, luxury, and sleek it is? Do the products grant you social status, from the premise of the commercial? Or are they bombastic, overflowing, and energetic? Are they trying to convince you of how excessive and abundant your life will be after purchase? Are they trying convince you of the joy you'll get for a smaller price tag? Are the graphics referencing that "low-key luxury", or are they referencing a more (ahem) 2008 style of graphic design?

"I first saw the girl at the Hob when she was just a baby. Burdock was so proud of her, he toted her around everywhere. After he died in that mine explosion, she started coming alone, trading the odd squirrel or rabbit. Tough and smart, her hair in two braids then, reminding me for all the world of Louella McCoy, my sweetheart of old. And after she volunteered for the Games, that nickname couldnโ€™t help but slip out." - Haymitch Abernathy, Sunrise on the Reaping.

I am so tired of waiting,

Aren't you,

For the world to become good

And beautiful and kind?

Let us take a knife

And cut the world in two โ€”

And see what worms are eating

At the rind.

You can survive almost anything through the right combination of:

  1. Bitching and moaning
  2. Hater-ology
  3. Doing a goofy little bit about it
  4. Having a buddy say "that's so fucked up" at intermittent points (you can also be your own buddy)
  5. Destroying the cursed amulet you carry everywhere, why do you even have that thing

applying papier mache to the homie who fell asleep on the floor during the party and then using it as a mold to make a 1-to-1 perfect silicone sculpture of him which we place on the floor and gently interlace with him so it looks like he is sleeping restfully with the yin yang of his own somnolent form lol

generally you shouldn't write run-on sentences because they get confusing and it doesn't give the reader a break. that doesn't apply to me though my run-on sentences are fun and understandable and they have a rhythm to it that makes you want to keep reading
