Kat.
A place for thoughts and things that have been rolling around behind my eye sockets.

I used to work at a library and on my first day my supervisor told me two things:

1. No reading while manning the customer service desk. Or ever. Because this is a library, damn it.

2. If a fight breaks out, don’t hesitate to call the cops.

So, Cloud Atlas. Let’s talk about that shit for a second.

And by “talk about that shit” I really mean marvel wordlessly at its literary glory.

tardis-at-hogwarts asked: YOU FAILED TO SAY HELLO TO MICHAEL ARANDA AND EMILY GRASLIE AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU KATRINA LUKES also hello how are you?


Answer:

yeahhhh…
In my defense, they were looking all cool and intelligent over by the eviscerated mammal entrails station (there were live dissections), and I was on a quest to find the special Anthropology display while simultaneously trying to keep my family from yelling at random employees to give me an internship.

Definitely just saw Emily and Michael of “The Brain Scoop” at the Field Museum’s Member Event

Too intimidated to say hello.
Mostly because they were both about a half-foot taller than me.
Also I was on a quest to find the Pacific Collections, which ended up being closed.
Double fail.

At the Cafe

Barista:What can I get for you?
Me:I'll have that giant chocolate chip cookie.
Barista:Um, it's actually gingerbread.
Me:That's totally fine with me.
Male Barista:Because the flavor doesn't matter, all that matters is that it's giant.
Me:Yep, it's the size that matters.
WHAT EVEN?

We Were Promised Jetpacks. Still good. 

I’ve been so out of the music scene lately, too busy to find any new gems.

Does anyone have any recommendations? And please for the love of god don’t give me some faux-philosophical, pseudo-eclectic americana band.
