I have managed to piss off a pregnant woman. w00t. I didn't mean to. I can be harsh, but that is because I usually only see things one way and think that everyone else sees exactly what I see. Just because I tell everyone about my faults doesn't stop them from being faults. But if I am informed of how things really are then it comes into perspective.
I had a really cool time hanging out at "Shad"'s house last night. It was a nice night just hanging out. Joel was at a wedding rehearsal (the wedding singer) and hung out with a buddy of his last night, so I kept Brad company while Shanna worked. We talked about marriage and how it is perfect for people like us. We are married to our best friends and everything just kind of worked out nicely. Joel is my best friend and he is my husband and that's just terrific. Terrific is a great word, it should be used more often. For example, Saturdays at the library are not terrific. My friend Summer has graduated and is moving away tomorrow. I will miss you summer, but I am sure we will talk and Joel and I will get over to Atlanta when he gets some more time from work. You are such a beautiful person and I am glad that we met all those years ago in 7th grade, listening to whatever brit band you were into at the time, watching Star Trek and X-Files and staying up really late talking about who knows what. You and your family were always so nice to me and I am so glad to be your friend. I will miss you. Congratulations. I know you will accel in anything you do.
Kurt Vonnegut is my hero. This is an article that he wrote for a site called In These Times. It sums up everything that I have been thinking about what has been going on for the last four years. We let America become what is should never be. We are power hungry apes and we will cause our own painful demise. Vonnegut had a dream in his youth, a dream that he has wrote about many times over in his books, most prominently in Slapstick or Lonely No More, it is a dream of utopia. An America that is reasonable and humane. He thought that we could possibly achieve that dream, but it has been crushed by power. I think you should read this article. Kurt Vonnegut, you are awesome.
Pink lemonade and recliners: that’s it for me. I finished my exam in my dreaded economics class this morning around 8:45 and I am out for the summer. It is already starting out to be a good one. Tonight Joel, Robbie and myself are going to New Orleans to see Dave Chapelle. The only way today could be better would be some sunshine. The day I actually plan to go outside and get some sun and relaxation it rains. Bastard weather.
I have been married for two months now. It seems like this is how it was always supposed to be. Life before I was married to Joel seems like it was just a dream and I just woke up in bed next to him and have been for eternity. I am an “Old Married Woman”, indeed.
I have run into a few people from high school lately and I have realized that it has been five years since I left that Nazi Internment camp they called Long Beach High. Okay, Nazi Internment camp may be a hyperbole, but it did suck. I was oppressed and they knew it. I have had more trouble with academic institutions, college included, than I have had with my pancreas, and that is saying something.
Just so the show will be good, anyone who has any talent what-so-ever in the music/vocal/acting area please go and audition for Grease. Audition information can be found at the KNS Theatre website or David Delk’s website (An “ego in progress”), whichever you fancy most. I do remember your name, David; I speak of your wonderfulness often. Perhaps I will immortalize you as a character in a story one day.
I was looking around on the Internet, like you do, and found some interesting things. One: there is a rabbit that is almost as big as my cat. Check this article out: These people raise rabbits for show and they have a 15 lbs rabbit. 15 Pounds!!!! That is a large rabbit. And they have sharp, pointy, teeth. King Arthur’s nightmare.
I also saw an article about the new Batman movie (crap) that is being made (crap) I hope it isn’t crap (it will be). If they only made Batman like they should. I don’t believe that Catwoman movie shit. Catwoman looks nothing like Halle Berry. Catwoman is a gorgeous, large busted white woman with jet-black hair and (depending on the comic I suppose) she wears a black/blue/purple formfitting suit. I have seen various artist renderings of her and the color of the suit varies, but her being poured into it does not.
Joel and I went to Circuit City last night and added a few movies to our collection. We purchased: Castle in the Sky, Running Man, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Aliens (or Alien 2: Electric Boogaloo), In Living Color: Season One, Dave Chappelle: Killing Them Softly, and 28 Days Later. I think that’s it, I may have forgotten one or two, though. Pertaining to 28 Days Later, something never really sat right with me, other than the obvious creepiness of it. I realized it last night while Joel and I were watching it that it is categorized as a “zombie” movie and it isn’t. There are no zombies in that movie. Those people weren’t dead only to raise again craving brains and/or human flesh. They were infected with a virus of some sort and became “zombie-like” but were still alive. When they were shot, got their head bashed in, run over, or didn’t have anything to eat in a while; they died, just like regular humans did. In the movie that didn’t show all that many of the “infected” to begin with. When they showed a close up it was just for a flash and usually it was dark (old X-Files trick if you ask me, they had no budget so they showed aliens in the dark). The wide shots they were moving quite fast so everything was a blur. Granted the fast moving danger did add tension to the movie, but you didn’t really get to see what was going on. The movie had more of a Silent Hill feel too it (music, camera, and dialogue wise) than a “zombie movie”. So, 28 Days Later, a zombie movie you are not; more like a scarier version of Outbreak.
May 11th sees a couple of things of excitement for me: 1. I go and take my final for this semester. Yes, final as in singular. I only have one “test” I have to take and it is in my dreaded economics class. All my other classes I had to write papers for and that is already done. The semester is over. Summer time is here. And second is Dave Chappell in New Orleans. I am so looking forward to that. Joel, Robbie and myself going to see the funniest comedian in the world, underneath Eddie Izzard, of course, but you really can't put Dave Chappelle and Eddie Izzard in the same category, can you?
