Jack I'll bet she has controversial opinions about the Dewey Decimal System.

S Y L She knows a lot about lesbian literature. Don't you find it sooo annoying in lesbian porn videos when they don't go down on each other? Like please just do your job or cast someone who will!

[jack kearney]

Jack Sorry, what's this "porn" you speak of?

[sylvia constantinou]

S Y L You passed, clever boy. What do you want to do this weekend?

[jack kearney]

Jack What did you commit to this weekend that you're inviting me along to?

[sylvia constantinou]

S Y L I'm going to my friend's Charlie XCX themed party on Friday. But more importantly I want to have a rot day on Sunday, which I know is your idea of hell but pleaseeee can you try it? No cooking, cleaning or general busy work allowed, we'll order food and watch like ten hours of Kitchen Nightmares.

[jack kearney]

Jack Baby steps. Hell exposure therapy, if you will. How about productive morning, afternoon rot, rot-optional evening.

[sylvia constantinou]

S Y L But the whole point is it being the whole day! How about I do the whole thing, you come over at a point that you think you'll be able to stick it out from? You have to commit to the rest of the day from whatever point you get there though, no leaving to go do something productive bc then I'll feel bad about not being productive myself.

Jack Is there no such thing as casual rotting? I have so many questions. I can join you mid-rot, let's try it.

[sylvia constantinou]

S Y L Absolutely not, it's all or nothing. Yay! Some ground rules: - I mean no cleaning or tidying. I will allow us to move dirty plates/glasses etc to the sink, only because you're a novice, but you're not allowed to wash them up. - Duvet on sofa, meals on sofa. Only things you leave the sofa for are bathroom breaks and to collect food from delivery drivers. - No quality TV or movies, has to be bad. Will accept so bad it's good, e.g. Gossip Girl.

Jack Clarifying questions. What is the legality of: - Phones - Laptops being out - Crosswords and other puzzles - Laundry that can be folded whilst distracted

[sylvia constantinou]

S Y L - Phones are allowed, in fact I'll be dual screening with TikTok the whole time. Prepare to be asked which cat reminds you of me. - Laptops would be allowed but I know you'll be using it to work, so not for you. - Crosswords are a grey area... I'll come back to you on that, I need to think. - ❌ NO LAUNDRY INTERACTIONS OF ANY KIND ❌

[jack kearney]

Jack I think I can manage with a phone and occasional puzzle. I will try very hard, show me the ropes.

[sylvia constantinou]

S Y L You might even enjoy it! Or we could rot Saturday, when I’ll probably be hungover, and go for a hike or something on Sunday?

[jack kearney]

Jack That sounds more my speed. I was already thinking about Runyon!
