The Comfy Corner

There are many different types of logic. There is, of course, your everyday, fully-conscious logic that you rely on to get things done and to move about your life, but there are also subcategories. Allow me to explain. There is high-logic (after a few turns of the cauldron) which is when you make brilliant connections between the tree growing behind your apartment and the hierarchy of social classes in modern-day America. There is drunk-logic when you have had a decent amount of wine, gin, beer, and whiskey all in one sitting and you suddenly think "Well, I've had so much alcohol, might as well just keep drinking!" There is sleep-logic, when you awake suddenly on a Saturday morning and in a sleepy daze you bust your ass to get ready for work only to realize that you don't work on Saturdays. And then, there is the rare, but very potent summer-logic.

Summer logic is...

1. waking up at 9am and thinking "I should get up now or I'll feel gross for the whole day" and then subsequently falling back asleep, waking up at noon, and feeling gross and lethargic all day.
2. thinking "Oh I have so many errands to do and things that I should accomplish" and then calling up a friend to go out for drinks.
3. not wearing sunscreen even though you're Irish with freckles.
4. spending far too much time watching entire seasons of that TV show you always wanted to watch.
5. eating dinner at 11pm.
6. putting off homework until a week before school starts and then complaining about how much work it is.
7. doing just as little laundry as you did during the school year despite the extra free time.
8. feeling tired all day because you got too much sleep.
9. spending money on useless things and then complaining about not making enough money.
and, finally...
10. finding that instead of drinking once a week, you are sober once a week.

Summer's a tough time comfy cornerers! Don't be fooled by its innocently warm weather and its inviting patios. It is seductive and dangerous.
