I was so productive last semester. I wrote over 100 pages for my manuscript. Then, I felt so good about doing it that I haven't written a thing since Thanksgiving. I have 29 days to write 40 more pages. Why isn't this pressure enough to get me going?
Instead of writing, I walked around the house today watering my chia herbs, cooking rice, and smiling whenever I found interesting things that Corey had done. Like leave a box of Cheerios in the cereal area as if there were another bowl's worth when really? There were about 5 o's inside.
And then I watched Clueless, which is far worse than I remember it seeming in high school. Why would Josh date a 16 year-old? Any college guy who does that seems kind of pervy to me now. Especially when the girl is his quasi-sister.
And now I have exhausted my list of places to peruse on the internet, so I face 2 hours of either stark boredom or productivity. Where is my muse today? Where are all my rugby stories and why won't they brim to the surface of my fingers?

Try visualizing it this way--thoughts originate deep inside all that matter beneath your skull. They travel out through your buff shoulders, down your ever-improving arms, and out through your fingertips to the keys of your ibook. Still nothing there? Oh, well...
Have a few beers that always makes my mind wonder:+)
You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Clueless is one of the greatest movies of all time. You know it's a comedy, right?
Besides, this is not just any 16-year-old, it's Cher for crissake!
She's young and beautiful...and... She's knows she's gorgeous, alright? And popular, and, um, and... but this is not why he, you know... This is a good learning experience for him.
But if you insist on breaking down a classic case of true love into cold hard numbers, that's fine. How old is Josh? Probably 18, maybe 19 (freshman in college). The half-plus-seven rule puts his minimum age for avoiding pervy-ness at 16 to 16-and-a-half (18 divided by 2 is 9, plus 7 is 16, etc.). So as you can see at best he is not a perv, at worst he is only skirting the line by a couple of months (Cher turning 16 in April, end of movie probably at end of school year several months later).
Finally, I think Josh himself has the perfect retort to your unfounded accusations:
She's not a moron. You know, if you were paying attention to your assignment, it wouldn't have happened.
I agree with Jordan- Clueless is a cult classic! (Although I never heard of the half plus 7 years.. I can date a 19 year old.. ew, as if! )
But for getting your muse back you do have a end of the season gala next weekend! And grab your friends for a game of touch rugby..
