I ate all of that food. All of it. I might be violently ill.
Now Willem is saying he wants to do something different tonight. I wonder if that means something cool like killing a cop or burning down a house?
So I guess this means I won’t be reading and gorging myself all night. Sighz.

Here’s my VERY IMPORTANT SATURDAY NIGHT:
-Make a bunch of turkey sausages and mashed potatoes.
-Consume said food.
-Read David Foster Wallace and the Rutledge Guide to Jean-Paul Sartre and maybe some Kurt Vonnegut.
-Go to bed at a reasonable time.
WHAT? WHO AM I? WHAT IS THIS LIFE THAT I’M LEADING??

That thing just happened where I am really really tired but I lay down to sleep and can’t sleep and know that I’m not tired enough to sleep.
OR AM I TOO TIRED TO SLEEP?
I just referenced Rain Man and my roommate looked at me like I was lying to him or something. And I was like “Rain Man? You know? The iconic Dustin Hoffman movie? Tom Cruise?” And he was like, “What are you talking about?”
I was in awe. Am I wrong in being near offended? Was I stupid to take it for granted that not everybody in the entire world has seen Rain Man?

I was tired in a way that seemed too tired, but not tired enough to go to sleep. I wondered: if I tried, could I fall asleep right now? Or would it be one of those things where I laid down and got into the nap position and pulled the blanket or pillow over the back of my head (I nap face down), and just sat there with my eyes shut until eventually they just popped back open? I guess those are good...
Put yo foot in my Nikes.
I just want to meet someone who:
amandatague:
Does not have a crazy girl in his/her/their life who will make my life worse/threaten my life/threaten my academic career/is secretly his/her/their fiance, kind of.
Isn’t too ashamed of me to tell people we’re dating.
Like Star Wars.
Believes in monogamy.

I’m eating habanero cheese nachos and they are workin it like Beyonce in my mouth.
Dear Lord, thank you for this gift of discounted hot pepper cheese on sale at Krogers for 1.64 a bag. Amen.
Solution:
I’ve realized that the only reason I get so pissed off at my job constantly is because I think it matters that I work here. Well it doesn’t, and every single thing every single person here at this office, especially my boss, has shown me is that it doesn’t matter if I work here. They don’t want things done efficiently. They don’t want innovative and new material being...
I'm sorry to do this to the internet but:
My job is a slut. Sorry job. But you are.
My only duty this past week was to log pictures from a Final Cut EDL into an excel spreadsheet. So I did this mind-numbing but seemingly necessary thing for a week. I then had to separate out pictures that came from an archive source from the ones that came from private libraries/donors. Great. I did that.
Oh but today I gave the archive list to my boss...

Reading David Foster Wallace Is Kind of Like...
Because it’s encouraging me to make life decisions and for some reason my critical thinking skills have been clearer and I use the word “solipcism” a whole lot more now.
Also, I might have texted Michael Martone last night at 1 AM to tell him that DFW referenced him in E Unibus Pluram: Television and U.S. Fiction.
Please don’t ask how I have Michael Martone’s phone...

I don’t know, I really just can’t put Toots and Ryan together and have it work for me. Two different worlds, you know? And seriously, Brown Sugar? Warren Peace was more listenable.
Yeah, that version with her is terrible. I do like the version of it from Le Bataclan in Paris on 12-08-2002. One of my all-time favorite shows of...

But I was just surfing my music collection on my work computer and found that rarities cd that was floating around torrents for awhile (still is? I dunno). My favorite stuff on that album, novelty factor alone, was that handful of songs of Ryan with The Toots and the Maytals. I mean, it sounded awwwwful. But in retrospect, so did all that Beth Orton stuff.

One Last Thought
It’s pretty clear that “Just Saying Hi” from The Suicide Handbook is waaaaay superior to “Answering Bell” on Gold. And I’m not just saying that. I mean it. I feel it. In my bones.

I’m listening to “Wake Up” by Dr. Dog and about to return to campus.
I can’t balance my feelings on those two statements. On the one hand, I really like “Wake Up”. On the other, I kind of hate campus right now.
Ohhh despair!
OMG I just burped and it was a diet coke burp and it was $0 b@ll3r. Best burp of 2010.
Shows that I need to start watching regularly:
1. Eastbound and Down
2. Party Down
3. Weeds
4. Community
5. Mad Men
6. Jersey Shore
These are all of the things that I would watch regularly if I had time/cable/a computer of my own. Unfortunately, I don’t have any of these things. So the televisions that I watch are called books.
Sex Education Mystery Story!
tomoatmeal:
Maybe I wasn’t the best police officer, but I certainly didn’t deserve to be wasting my day at an elementary school talking to students about drugs and sex.
“I think what you’re holding is just the wrapper for the condom,” the young student said. “The actual condom fell out. See? It’s by your foot.”
“Yeah I know. That’s what I said,” I muttered, reaching down to pick up the condom....
MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT INTRO FILM CLASSES
Is when the professor wants people to interact and wants to give everybody a chance to comment, so everybody feels encouraged to speak and participate. This is a great idea, however, nobody in these classes understands the difference between analysis and summarization.
So, usually we’ll watch a clip from a movie. Or we’ll listen to an episode of This American Life for homework. And...
