been awhile, figure i’d jot down a little bit to make myself feel like i’m being anything resembling productive concerning this little corner of the interwebbe. not that anyones paying attention really, Loopy maybe, but only because she’s obligated by unspoken law (sorry Loops). the rest of you, i’m afraid, have forsaken hope of me ever writing again after weeks upon weeks of listless void.
lets start with the last months worth of news. i figured after my last post, that something in the ways of divine intervention would happen to put me back in my place. my car decided that it doesnt really want to run anymore. it’s been stationary for going on a month now. no idea what the problem could be, and it looks like i have to have it towed to a shop to get it fixed. hooray for a cash enema!!! so for the past few weeks, ive been very dependant on everyone else for rides to and fro work, etc. it sucks ass. i feel horrible for being so imposing. i’m going to have to kiss some major ass, or watch about 50 chick-flicks to redeem these favors.
but it looks like i’m already at a disadvantage in that field. Loops and i went to see Casino Royale last weekend, and i was told that by doing so, i am now indebted to see a movie of her choice. was a great flick though, even Loops enjoyed herself, and not being a bond fan, this is no small feat. i’ll take it easy on her, she’s very sick at the moment, and i want to not get her worked up. in honesty, i dont so much mind what movie we see, long as its with her that i’m seeing it (/sappy). wish her well. Get Well. NOW.
bitch list: people that look like Mike Damone. Hurley clothing. my Boss. my Job. my Car. Cell phones. Everyone. Everything.
last week, the iranian kid at my work was practicing his english. he was mimicing my sales pitches, in hopes that he would sound a little more relaxed, or casual in his english. was a pretty funny sight, as i caught on early and started using some fucked up colloquialisms, etc. i even asked customers for their favorites, in an attempt to keep the night light and humorous. i’ve never heard “as shiny as a diamond in a goat’s ass” before, but apparently its all the rage in rural oklahoma. go okies, go! who says they’re not good for anything but migrant working in dust-bowl era california?
also, one of the iowegians (the tech-savvy one), has offered to give me an overhaul on my site here. i’de been looking to change it up some for quite some time, but havent had the time, or really, the know-how. evidently, shes very bored, and has strung together some ideas for me, once i decide what i’d like showcased here. picture, words, etc. i’m not really sure what the meat and potatoes of this blog are. i’d like to think its fairly well rounded with complete bullshit, and none of it should be accentuated, but wheres the fun in that? so if any of you want to let me know what it is about this blog that is worth coming to look at, let me know in a note. she’ll be in town for a few more days, and i’ll be able to check out what she has in mind. i’m leaning towards a hello kitty, or barbie motif, but am willing to take suggestions.
and finally. today is thanksgiving. its the day we traditionally give thanks for everything we have, or celebrate stealing the indians land or something. i dunno. it does involve turkey and pumpkins, but not fucking pumpkins. NOT. FUCKING. PUMPKINS. that was just to make it clear. so in recent historys tradition, i’m stuck working yet again. my family is having their get-together tonight, while i’m working. cant say that i’m too jazzed to work it. i miss having some sort of family activities, and it doesnt look like thats going to fix itself real soon. the close family seems to have descended further into their religious-based hallucinations, never to return to the land of the sane. guess they’re still family, so i’ll keep loving them regardless. even after they start making wacky Pop Tarts.
i guess, in a round-about way, i’d like to give thanks. there are a few people and things i have in my life to be very thankful for, and without them, i’d most certainly be lost. you know who you are, even if i dont tell you enough.
so thank you. india. terror. disillusionment. frailty. consequence. silence.
