self-titled: ^_^

tuesday blah blah blah watched elephant man blah still really creepy blah noticed lynchian elements blah blah etc. well, enough of that, elephant man rules except it makes me hate everyone. like giving him the dressing kit, noble gesture or a mockery? i'll never know, but i will remain fascinated with john merrick so much as to look him up on the inter-web after this. Also, anthony hopkins never seems like anthony hopkins, it's weird. I think the black and white helped to that effect, it is very convincing, makes me think i'm watching real historical footage rather than a film made in 1980. Also, i'm obsessed with david lynch and want to pay money to look at his website.

yesterday blah blah. had an apartment dinner. Jenny cooked, gave us all a couple glasses of wine and then instated a cleaning schedule. Sneaky, but clever. Then adam and steph came by and later i went to roggie's with katie and they were there and sean too. i heart kareoke night. I sang copa which was fun, and then i sang what a feeling because i thought it would be fun. terrible, but fun. terrible it was, moreso than i thought. but i sang it with some foreign dude and that was fun. blah blah none of this matters because i want to talk about today.

Today has been a day of many adventures. When i got to work, i saw that the office had some weird computer stuff done to it and of course it didn't work properly, so my internet didn't work. Now without my internet, i'm hardly able to do my job of wasting the entire day looking at the internet. So i sat and drank my coffee being bored. but someone i once knew was fond of saying "there is no bored, only boring people" so i decided that i would dedicate the rest of the day to adventure.

My first adventure involved playing the new Elvis Costello CD and dancing around the room. I can do that when no one is down here. So that was excited. My next adventure was a surprise. someone called to ask about internships, and i talked to them. I was feeling wacky and adventurous so i flirted for a while, my personal favorite line coming about halfway through our 2-3 minute conversation: "So... the district attorney's office eh?" (she was calling from the district attorney's office).

After that phone call i decided that the career center was too small to contain me and my wild propensity for adventure. so i went outside and up to campus to register for class. after going to the dean's office to get some paper i had to go across the quad to lyon's to get it signed by someone. And there were people everywhere, making this my hardest adventure yet. I rolled up my paper and put it to my eye and used it as a pirate's spyglass. I believe this hindered my walk more than help it as, and you can try this at home - all you need is a piece of paper and your eye, it is very difficult to walk with a piece of paper being used as a pirate's spyglass. There were some more adventures up on campus, including, but not limited to, running into breaux and almost going into the library to seek out john.

I wasn't back at the career center for too long until i was once overcome with adventuritis. So i hopped in my car and drove it to the honda dealership where i talked with three different people and arranged to have my car fixed so i no longer need to use duct tape on its underside. And then i went to the oriental grocery to by magic lychee nut gelatin snacks. i asked the gentleman working if they had them and he told me no. I think he was lying because he didn't want to sell to "my kind" of people. and then i went to mcdonalds and took the T back home.

Now, back at work, i think my adventurer joneses (get it, like indiana jones) have been sated. and by sated, i mean the internet works again so i can look at amazon.com and bukkake porn.

Also, i wish i had a scanner because i can't find a picture of this book online, but let me tell you about it. It is Peterson's Internships 2003, a largish 800 page volume outlining internships all over the country. The cover of it is a young girl, who probably got an internship from the book, standing in nice business casual clothes with a look on her face that if you study it long enough, appears to be a look of fear. There are two men on either side of her. To her left, in the foreground, is an out of focus man in a blue dress shirt staring ahead at a computer. To her right, at the end of a table in the background, is a man, probably Peterson himself, sitting down wearing a blue golf shirt holding his glasses between his hands. He's looking at our lovely intern, very intently, sizing her up, figuring that if blue dress shirt guy holds his position, he can sneak up and show her why she was really hired. And she senses something is up, thus the look of fear, but also her eyes are looking towards the foreground but to the right of where the picture ends. She's planning her escape, or at the very least sees a pair of scissors or something with which to protect her virtue. This picture has given me hours of entertainment. I need to get out more.
