Garbonzo beans
Garbonzo beans have the most inconsistent flavor and textures. I just had a salad with some really bad ones. But when they’re good, boy are they good.
The end.
If A = B and B=C, why must poor B (me) suffer as...
I’m astonished at how unnecessarily complicated refilling a prescription is in this country. I called the pharmacy yesterday, first thing in the morning on my way to work—don’t worry, I used speakerphone since I don’t own a bluetooth. I mean, it’s not like I normally give a fuck about that law, but for some reason I abided by it this time. Nobody was in at CVS, so...
I blinked
And suddenly I had a beard. It’s itching like crazy. I’m going to shave tonight after the YMCA.
Post YMCA note: almost fainted at the YMCA. Must consume more liquids. I’m shaking as I type this.
9:29 PM: Beard is shaved, and i watched a movie called (Little Miss) Sunshine Cleaning. ‘Twasn’t bad, but wasn’t good.
I switched up and started writing in a...
my grandparents are 3.66 times my age.
Or something close to that. 76+69/2= the average age of my grandparents (only from my mother’s side)/21 would give me the number but I’m not that interested. I’ve learned a lot of things, living with my grandparents this summer. Some valuabe, some disappointing, some fucking hilarious etc. This calls for a numbered list I think.
Things I’ve learned:
As I stated in my...
Did not write today
I did not write today, but there is an excuse. I went to see a movie with my grandpa and younger, taller, better looking brother. My grandpa is a film critic. It’s hard to drive with a critical person, especially through the winds and turns of Beverly Glen which is the route we took. Yes, it’s just as Seth Rogan says in his attrotious juvinalia standup (you can see the video on...
Yesterday's writing
I spent three hours at Starbucks yesterday, I forgot to say. I switch up the locations if I’m going during the day, so as to avoid looking like a loser to other people and the people who work there. There’s no reason to go to the 24 hours one if it’s during the day. But still, I always go to Ventura boulevard locations because I like the diversity of the people who come in...
God, how the TV makes me nervous.
One thing I’ve noticed is the amount of voices you can hear within a minute of television time. Good, bad? Can’t say. But one thing’s for fuckin’ sure: it gets me biting my nails. And especially when the volume is turned up way too loud to accomodate the needs of my hearing impaired grandparents (no offense to them or any of you).
Comercials and news have this...
Do blogs have to have a theme?
I’ve almost completely filled my summer notebook (I’ll put a picture of it up if I can find one). Smythson notebooks should sponser me, I think, if I ever get published. I would vow to only use their products and do some commercials for them. Also, Pilot G2 should sponser me because those are the only kinds of pens I can use now. I’ve become so used to the motion that my...

Pretzels
As I sit here with a bag of Rold Gold classic-style-stick pretzels on my lap, I reflect on the different types of pretzels I’ve eaten. My favorite are the extra slim sticks, lightly salted. I’ve never been a fan of lots of salt on anything, let alone pretzels. I think that the flavor of a food isn’t given the benefit of the doubt when it’s heavily sprinkled with salt,...

2:40 AM.
My room-mate, I think I’ve figured him out. He’s an optimist, and it’s because he reads fantasy! Fantasy books always used to put me in a good mood. Now I’m reading real shit, with real people, who do real mean stuff to other people because it’s serves their best interest. My Jane Austen class has given me inspiration to not have inspiration. Meaning that there...
Highlights
I haven’t cleaned out the coffee maker in a week. It was fuzzy and muddy when I poured it out, like some sludge ooze crap. Splat splat.
I wrote an essay on Mark Twain’s Roughing It. I have a feeling that I can get myself to like any writer if I dedicate enough time to them. Jane Austen is earning my respect now.
I officially hate the comma, because it created an awkward pause in...
Bands that share titles of songs
You know, it really sucks when a band re-uses a name of a song or album that is no where near as good as the original. Incubus’s “I Wish You Were Here” is my prime example here. I don’t hate their music, but what the fuck were these guys thinking? I don’t think I need to explain why this was a mistake, but Incubus doesn’t hide the fact that they were...
organizing.
I suck at this organization thing.
