Wisdom from That Boy: "Everything sounds stupid if you have to describe it to an alien." Maybe not in so many words, or in such stellar grammatical form, but that's the gist of it.
I think I'm feeling a bit bad about only bringing glazed carrots ("vitamin-A rich carbon concotion") to tonight's potluck to my old Fairview haunt and odd collection of first-year classmates, second-year housemates, and associated significant others. Does peeling 2 pounds of carrots, dumping it in butter, water, sugar and thyme, and cooking for twenty minutes equal the social worth of a meatloaf or Safeway cheesecake? Is it better if I had to lug the carrots back from Broadway and Macdonald? My parents host absolutely insane dinners when they have friends over, and I think my mother has an astral projection that berates me whenever I try to cook. As though black beans and ketchup isn't good enough for her. I can get some crazy iron absorption happening with that combination.
People are starting to leave, for home, work, or other. I still can't get this thesis finished. But I'm managing to have a relaxing time everyday.
The phrase "Are you having a relaxing time everyday?" comes from a lime-green stationary set purchased at Daiso's in Richmond. If I could figure out a way to ship the excess English grads from here to label manufacturers in Asia and get people to pay me for it, I would be a millionaire.
