julian and minz attempt comparative albatross-weighing

julian: hey, why don’t you with me to my exercise class tonight?

me: darling, the whole point of becoming an english major is so that you can sit quietly indoors and enjoy your book and not have to go out chase a stupid ball around!

julian: come on, it’s not tough, you can do it. they work out with light weights.

me: weights? what do i need more weights for? do you not know i’m already burdened by my one thousand and one neuroses and failed academic career?

julian: ah, is there an albatross hanging around your soul?

me: my soul is bloody ladened with albatrosses! and unfinished papers, which show up in my dreams, with FANGS.
