Sadly nothing is jumping like Parejita anymore, not even himself. I don't think Pumas will qualify, let's hope that I'm wrong. sadness.
In other news - what is work? haha, I haven't worked much and that is seriously depleting my funds. In search of a new one but this late I don't know what's going to happen. Sure I hate it and all that but as a means of making money it's pretty nice. Considering I space out for most of the time and think of better things to come. sheesh.
I'm reading Cicero, not one of his books but an autobiography by Everitt, I already knew of his greatness one just needs a great writer to tell us about him. It's very intriguing but disappointing every time you read "unfortunately his letter/book doesn't survive," because it obviously means I can't read it and we are deprived of Cicero's brilliance. He was such a magnificent orator I want to talk like him but sadly as you can see my writing powers suck. hehe. Oh yeah! and I'm pretty sure I'm a hypochondriac, not a serious one just a pretend one, I read a book on the "back" and that's the one place I don't want to get seriously hurt. I love my spine even if I mistreat it often, I hope it loves me back. It seems that I have inherited bad posture, I blame all the old people I grew up with.
More books! Disgrace by J.M. Coatzee, I sort of hate and love it, all at once. In the beginning I disliked the protagonist, he's this middle aged professor who is an underachiever and has numerous affairs, except he makes a mistake when his object of desire becomes one of his students (not that the previous affairs including one with a prostitute aren't mistakes.) Questionable morality you can say, but I mean come on like he says you can't change habits when you're as old as he is, how will he learn? Well he goes to live with his lesbian daughter in this sort of remote farm in the bad part of town and she shares the land with a black guy that helps her, she takes care of dogs and grows flowers. Both dad and daughter end up disgraced one he loses his university teaching position for refusing to apologize for ruining his student's life (he does apologize but not in the way that is demanded of him, an empty prideful apology) so like I said he goes to live with his daughter and then she is gang raped by three black guys while the dad is unable to do anything locked in the bathroom. The helper happened to be absent at the time of the incident and it is later discovered that he knows one of the rapists. Did he leave so they could violate her? could he have stopped it? And why does she refuse to press charges, gets upset when her dad tries to beat up one of the rapists, and doesn't want to leave the farm? It's a great book, everyone should read it.
I miss all things tech.
I wouldn't mind if ManU won the premier league, considering that C Ronaldo is in the team! lalala.
Radio blog club is pretty cool.
sometimes.
Is Sarko gong to win!? I believe he was called bush's lapdog, haha, so I certainly hope not. And I consider Segolene Royal the coolest name I've heard.
Summer go away.
p.s. whoa, I just realized that's the first reference to politics in this blog.

Shrimp, shrimp, shrimp

Easter is almost here and it kind of sickens me with all the advertising that goes on, "it's time to get a new outfit! you can get bedsheets too!" I remember people being solemn for most of the week and then rejoicing on sunday after church not excited about the sales on clothes and bedsheets, things like these make me sick of the American consumerism view culture. eww.

Oprah and her best friend Gayle went on a road trip across America, they stayed in hotels, visited shopping towns, drove nonstop, ate junk food, and Oprah complained the whole time (at least from what they showed on the tape). I wouldn't really call it a road trip they never stopped at a national park, didn't camp anywhere, and stayed in five star hotels. If I was going across America I would definitely camp out, do the whole frugal thing, I wouldn't want to experience it as a never ending car ride.

I feel uncomfortable when people try to impress me or when after various big hints of no thanks, still try. I suppose I should be flattered but I'm not, I'm more annoyed than anything. Like this person told me she spoke french and then pathetically attempted to ask me what time it was, she forgot the word time and the verb is, or the fact that she keeps texting me with things to do and movie to see. I dunno what to do, it makes me nervous. Or the guy that keeps throwing vibes out, I hate when guys do stuff like that, especially when I said I had someone, lalala. The guy stops me to chat, writes on my things, he even winked at me!? hahaha wtf? who does that!? who winks at someone?

I'm sort of glad the semester is nearly over, I feel uncomfortable and restless, maybe I can be a donkey for the summer and work two jobs! it might drive me to insanity but a need is a need.

You know that beautiful HOV lane in houston? I think instead of it we should have a rail, like one of those in chicago since with flooding we can't have it underground.

Writing lab reports is stressful, especially when you have a picky bitch for a teacher. That reminds me of a line in the book Middlesex, when Cal is left in charge of the runaway camp and the hoboes come and ransack, they take "his" wallet and come upon his school ID, "this your girlfriend? skinny bitch." In fact it wasn't his girlfriend, that was Cal back when he used to be Callie!

Waiting in line for biometrics is weird, aside from long almost two and a half hours, people sit in these uncomfortable plastic chairs that offer no lumbar support, then there's this one tv for the entire room that has fox news on it, you're waiting for your number to be called and then sort of blank out, that happened to me. "Letter C" no movement, "C?" oh yeah that's me! I stared at the lady but had no recognition of why she was walking my way until I someone nudged me, it was amusing.
