Day 104
I just saw a commercial for a jewelry company on TV. It involved a whole bunch of couples. In each couple one of the members of the couple said, "I love you." This is all fine except the looks on the "I love you" recipient's faces looked variants of confused, sad and pissed off. I am not sure how this sells jewelry. Why would you buy someone who looks quite disturbed at your love confession an expensive, generic-looking diamond stud set?
The above is pretty much how exciting my day was today.
I was so bored I dug out a home video of my 5 year old birthday party. This doesn't sound boring but after you've seen this home video around five times...Anyway, I noticed something on this viewing: the games. My mother decided that we should play games at this party this seemed like a good idea. But, I realized that no one was having fun playing these games. I personally cried at least 4 times and screamed, "I don't want to play." We kept playing as we were promised a prize at the end. These prizes must have been awesome but they weren't in the video. After the cake and ice cream (we were very happy then) my mother let me hand out balloons and then one of my pig-tailed childhood friends asked, "Is it the end of the party?" And it was and I never even got to see these bribery prizes that were allegedly won for sitting on chairs and dropping clothespins into a jar.
Not much else happened today as I am without a car and snowed in due to the biggest blizzard of the year but here are a few things I did or thought about (note: they may bore you to death):
-I watched Vacation the original. There is nothing like when that crazy Aunt Edna is alive. I wonder what would've happened had she lived through the entire movie. It would've been much funnier than dropping off her dead body on a lawn chair. I would make a "Save Aunt Edna" t-shirt but I think it's a little too late now.
-I just saw another commercial on TV (yeah, I am watching TV during this blog, it's that boring to write about today) for something called, "Auto Finder." It is a remote control type thing that points you in the direction of your car. The commercial started out with a statistic about how many crimes occur in parking lots and thus the need to find your car fast. But if you are carrying a bright green flashing arrow that makes noises and staring at it to try and find your car are you really all that safe? The crazy thing is that whoever is making this thing is charging 100 bucks for it.
-I spent most of the day checking my facebook waiting for my bodyguard to write me details about a party that happened on Saturday. He didn't. You know I am bored when I am waiting for him to write me because whenever I ask him about anything all he says is, "It was lovely." I have no idea what that means and I wonder if he even knows. What would be lovely is if he could dish the shit a little more.
-While I was waiting for my bodyguard to write me I wrote to my friend and asked if he would marry me if I killed my father (he is driving me batty) as the Canadian government won't let me back in with a criminal record. It all started as a joke but we commented on each other's posts to the point of who would be our pool boy and who would take care of our pets though I am still wondering who would cook for us.
Well, here's hoping tomorrow will be more exciting and that I will be able to travel farther than the mailbox from home I may have to tunnel through the drift in front of the door but I think it would be worth it.
