i think elections and voting are important. educating yourself about issues is important too.
but i just can’t sit back and watch debates anymore. those hours are better spent doing something good for the world myself, rather than watching politicians spend ninety seconds and two hundred words to say nothing. even if all i can do is apply to shit.
here are some random thoughts. once i am tired it becomes harder to sleep. this is really, really bad and is why i keep sleeping pills around now. but at least i get a lot of work done, i think. i’ve also decided that i need to throw my television out the goddamn window. i had a funny conversation with lynn where basically she is encouraging me to get laid hahahahaha. i’m working on it, lynn, i promise. box office poison is a book i’m looking forward to reading, but i worry that it will be a little too dramatic in some ways. fox bunny funny, on the other hand, was wonderful, if sometimes a little creepily cute, or cutely creepy. i haven’t decided which one, just like i can’t decide if i’m happily unhappy or unhappily happy. and it makes sense, because the book is a fable about who we really are inside.
i have to make more time to do better things like read and run and stuff, which goes back to why i want to chuck the tv out the window. right now my only real free time is my weekly wednesday night drink at the phoenix, where i also read and write. for some reason i am really comfortable there. there is no twist at the end. instead, it ends kind of abruptly. well, not abruptly, but you get that feeling that most lives do not drastically change that way. and indeed, they don’t, instead we’re like driftwood, floating over water, breaking into pieces, it’s a great song that is strangely in a major key. and that’s something you can look forward to. the major key.
UPDATE: another missing comment.

bow chika bow wow
i grew up clipping coupons. yeah, i’m not afraid to admit that. i mean, we were an immigrant family with little money at first. now, we’re not so obsessive about it. my family lives comfortably, and so do i. but that phase of my life helps me understand the need to save money. we were not quite middle class at the time, and every little bit helped. you can still totally go overboard, though. at harvest today there was this lesbian couple who used a coupon on EVERYTHING. held up the line for 45 minutes.
luckily i was pissed about my advisor’s shenanigans. and i spaced out. i’m so good at that. daydreaming. sigh. eventually i got my seaweed salad and white tea.
yeah that was kind of inane. but you know, life is short. stop cutting out pieces of paper, jesus.
