i just wanted to see everybody one last time

neon genesis evangelion (episode sixteen, "splitting of the breast")

First things first: I’m taking off the Evangelion write-ups for the last two weeks of the year. There are a couple reasons for this. Number one, I am almost done with my “book” “proposal” and if I give myself an excuse to do literally anything else I will.

But if I finish the book proposal I will never have to think about it ever again! Unless I sell the book in which case I guess I will think about it every day for the next four years, or, possibly, the rest of my life. Hm.…

The second reason is that I think this episode is a good place to take a short break—a better one than the next—and since I was going to take the week of Christmas off anyway… I think taking the two weeks together makes sense.

So we’ll be back January 4.
