ennui

I learned the word "ennui" when I was taking an ekphrastic workshop a couple years ago. We were writing about this painting, by Walter Richard Sickert (I thought it was Degas...oops). I don't remember what I wrote about, but it probably sucked, like most of my ekphrastic poems did.

Anyway, that's how I'm feeling today. Bored and indifferent. Should be writing lesson plans. Could be grading papers. Instead, listlessly flipping through the internet.

Can it puh-leeze stop being winter now?

I called the bbq folks today, but I'd say my chances of working for them this summer are slim. We'll see.
