Day 302
My room was just invaded. I am from a land of mosquitoes but the ones back home aren't the size of baby pterodactyl's. In this part of Canada I have noticed a lack of window screens and an abundance of giant insects. I hopped up on a chair to get the latest pterodactyl. When I threw a shoe at him I fell off the chair and landed on my leg so hard it reverberated in nerve pain. But, the good news is that I killed the bastard AND, The Antiques Road Show is on plus, the appraiser who looks like the Michelin man just appraised a Michelin man.
This morning I woke up and had to quick whip up a summary of the script I have been writing so I could take it to my friend to scan. I met him at the department so he could scan in the items for me on the behemoth copier we have. The only other person in the department was the secretary. I was saddened to not find her calling into a radio contest when I arrived. She also wasn't working out with all of the outdated workout equipment she got a grant for and stores in her office. At least the scanner worked or the trip would've been a total bust.
I have been waiting for a few days now for my advisor to send me an edit of the script I am sending off to a contest. She did respond to my email but, she only commented on the autobiographical summary I had written. She said, "Brilliant!" Later in the email she said, "More to come." I wonder if she was using this, "Brilliant!" as a buttering up for the "Your script sucks" to come. It must be that because it really can't be that hard to find a synonym for brilliant.
Tonight was taco night in the dining hall in the residence where I live. Last time it was taco night. This reminded me of all the Taco Bell trips I used to make back home and I realized that I haven't been to the Taco Bell drive-thru since I went back to eating meat. I guess that is another thing to add to the list of things I need to do when I get home, got to Target, go to Taco Bell and order meat, buy cheap booze and cheap cheese. What am I forgetting? Visit family? nah.
Okay, so now on the Roadshow a cute older man is appraising a cute older woman's trunk (hehehe). The cute old lady upon hearing that her trunk was worth thousands of dollars was speechless. When she could finally talk she said, "I am speechless, you took my breath away, like a kiss." All I can wonder now is whether or not there have been people who have met their future spouses while waiting in line with their crap.
Two things about TV tonight:
1. Yesterday I couldn't find Family Guy on any channel, but today it was on at least once an hour on multiple channels. Turns out the amount of stuff I get done at night is not directly affected by whether or not Family Guy is on. I get nothing done at night except watching TV.
2. I think that the government should do regular screenings in which they make people watch an episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition and if someone doesn't cry at least once during the episode they should be sent into a mental ward.
Tonight at my set-up crew job my friend brought along her boyfriend to help us move some tables and chairs around. When I noticed that he was carrying a stack of 6 chairs, one on top of the other my only reaction was to turn to his girlfriend and say, "Marry that." This makes me wonder, if I ever put up a match.com profile would I put, "I like men who can carry six dining hall chairs stacked together across rooms."
Sidenote: They are playing "Don't Stop Believing" in the advertisement for the Antiques Roadshow. Shit, and they even have Kevin Bacon promoting the program now and he has Bon Jovi hair now. Wow, I learn so much watching Canada's PBS affiliate.
Tip of the Day: When ordering tacos always choose beef, it's worth it.
