imagine my voice saying these words; then take another xanax.

on demand!

yo. so we packed up the majority of the kitchen today. KBP keeps telling me over and over that she’s “addicted” to mario kart for wii. that’s good—i like to encourage healthy habits.

as a result of packing and moving, last night i had a glass of macallan 12 on the rocks, in a SOLO plastic cup. oh, how the mighty have fallen.

i have also decided to see if i can make it through the next week only cooking with oregano, basil, garlic salt and rosemary. what will result? stay tuned.

i would also like to talk about the velvet underground: they rock. i used to listen to their albums back to back at work while i was doing paperwork and reading through files: totally awesome. i imagine myself doing this again.

tomorrow we’re going to otani for dinner. otani is one of those japanese “dudes with the funny hats and the knife tricks and the onions on fire” places. the food is amazing and we even have a coupon! (my mom pronounces this “cue-pon” for some reason, as well as human “you-min.” go figure) so it should be great. and? can we talk about asahi beer? wow. that and tsing tao, as well as a personal (but rare) favorite, singha from thailand, are really the best asian beers i can find on my shelves here in ‘merica at any given moment.

in the past week, i’ve applied to a few jobs: one at blind aid in cleveland, one to be an assistant prosecutor for athens county, one to be an attorney at the domestic violence legal resources agency in…..albuquerque, new mexico (which i couldn’t even spell on my own)? and another one for a document review position up in cleveland.  it’s amazing when i’m looking at all these job postings……and they’re the legitimate ones, mind you…..and…..hang on, that brings me to another thing:

did you know that sites like careerbuilder are a minefield for spammers? i was surprised, but it’s true. your resume goes into this weird abyss and then you get a billion different emails from individual employers saying that they just got your resume and they’re really impressed with it…..would you fill out our online application? so you’re like, sure dude, and you click on the link, and then it’s really just an online app to take classes online, or buy some book about getting jobs, or something like that. so it’s all a trick—which makes me think: wow. no wonder nobody actually has a job, because even the tools people use to find themselves jobs are being exploited. but then i think….exploited by whom? people who want to keep being paid themselves? i suppose. but the problem there is……..another thing:

i feel like we have stopped striving to make America better. LAME! i know, but seriously. it’s like we’re…….well, we’re making ourselves better? no. it’s that……nobody cares about 100 years from now. that’s it! i mean, yes, environmentalists (whom i secretly love—here’s looking at you, jessm), but i mean people like…..well, even me. i think: well, okay, let me just live happily for the duration of my life, but then whatever, you’re on your own, everybody else. and that’s sort of true, and sort of not: i strive to serve with my occupation, but (hell, look at where that got me, huh?)…….i don’t know. i’m having a hard time articulating. i’ll just pick that up later.

i would like to see “inglorious bastards.”
