Short

I can't think of a story to experience or research and then write for the semester.

But The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe is superb so far.  This guy knows his descriptions and metaphors. And quite a vocabulary.  I ran into a word I noticed several weeks ago again in chapter one: lugubrious.  "Looking or sounded sad and dismal."

Am I in a lugubrious situation regarding my topic-choosing difficulties?  Or is my heart lugubrious?  Or am I experiencing lugubrious feelings?  Not exactly sure.
