Remember when I said Computer and I aren't good friends? Well...
Yeah. Computer's completely dead now. The cord that has slowly been disintegrating has finally stopped working. Then I took it apart in a futile attempt to solder it back together. I failed. So I'm here at my parents using their facilities.
My brother turns 16 today!! Holy shit! I can't quite wrap my brain around that one. I think back to when I was his age and...geaaahh...
The Algebra II book he's using for school is the same one I had when I had algebra II. I think that's hilarious. And really, really awkward.
SCHOOL = DONE
Oh my god. I don't have to go to classes anymore. Ever. For the rest of my life (until I start feeling like I want to use my brain again). It's quite possibly the most liberating feeling I've experienced in quite a long while.
So I catered the filming of the press package for Sarah's True Perfection. It was so much fun and satisfying. I can't wait to do more and more of that kind of stuff.
I need to stop being so motherly. But still make food for everyone I know. Hmm...
I started reading Ulysses again. It's like reading what happens in my brain. If I were a Irish teacher in the late 1800's/early 1900's. And male. And an existential genius. ...

And one week later
Time goes by so much faster now... It seems like you look forward to something, it happens, you're disappointed, and life moves on. As mama always said "life's a bitch, you complain, then you die." Hmm...not nearly as poetic as the geniuses behind Forrest Gump, but they had a budget to work with.
My computer has some sort of "Trojan Horse" type of virus and I'm attempting to get rid of it. Only computers and I ... well, lets just say we usually avoid each other at parties; saying "oh shit why'd she show up?" It's kind of funny.
Good thing ovens were invented before computers. Take that people-who-work-with-computers! My career's been around longer than yours!
I wonder if that makes prostitutes proud of their profession...
And that is how my mind wanders from topic to topic.
And on a completely separate note: I've reached a point in my appetite where anything even remotely involving sugar repulses me. My chef instructor today tried to get us all to sample orangettes vs. Trader Joe's chocolate covered orange dealies. At 8:30 in the morning. Needless to say, I couldn't do it. I'm kind of scared if that means I have some sort of diabetes or something, but that's just the hypochondriac in me. I'm sure it's just the over-saturation of carbohydrates.
I miss steak.

Sometimes, I'm not nearly as smooth as I'd like to be
So school is in its last month, and we're actually doing shit again! The last couple months I wasn't bringing home anything, and it made me sad. Today, however (despite starting school still kind of drunk) I brought home a well-graded (well-earned)
chocolate box full of Port, Cassis, and Caricau chocolate truffles! Granted, I have no other food... Seriously, I live like a rich person (if rich people only owned desserts).
I went to an awesome party tonight that had a multitude of nice people, a few of which I met. I enjoy meeting new people because it reassures me in my ability to make people happy and interested in life. I believe that everyone has a whole bunch of interesting stories to tell about themselves, as long as they are willing to share them.
I also really believe that I make people around me spill things. Oh well!! At least I clean up after myself. Though there's only so much I can do for people's pants. ...

People named Dexter are awesome
At least, in TV land. Dexter's Laboratory is one of the greatest kids show ever: "'Hey Dexter guess what I am!' 'Annoying'"
And now my new Dexter favorite, for adults! Dexter on Showtime. Not that I get showtime, of course, but I can still watch the Korean subtitles! I'm really excited to get the books, they're going to be absolutely wonderful. But seriously, if you get a chance to watch this show it's amazingly captivating.
Something about falling in love with a character that would kill you without a second thought is both captivating and terrifying at the same time.
It's weird how our society has this unyielding love of serial killers. Just read about any of them throuought history: serial killers get more fan mail than any rock star ever could imagine. Girls would send letters to Ed Gein even to say they would have sex with him. Though I'm sure he'd rather pick guys. I wonder if it's just Americans or the world in general. I do think that it's human nature to be attracted to what can hurt you most. Hence: skydivers, scubadivers, BMX shit, motorcycles, cars, living... It's a good thing being alive in general is so dangerous, or we'd all be bored off our asses.
I'm totally naming one of my sons Dexter though, just because there are very few names with the letter 'x' in it (which is my favorite letter (because it's almost entirely useless)).
