I'm such a jerkoff, shooting my mouth off about how I'm going to update and then not go near my computer for 3 weeks.
I recently went to go see Michael Moore's new film and I'm still not sure why. I don't need to sit in a movie theater to be convinced that the current administration is fist fucking us. I work for the government for Christ's sake. But I went anyway because all The Cool Kids were going. I cried during the entire movie and then went home & sat in my backyard and thought about how fucked the state of the world is. It seriously made me angry & sad, like more angry than I usually am. It also made me think that I need to look for another job. I can't sit there everyday, knowing that my company builds weapons that kill people every single day and be all "Oh, I'm just here for the paycheck." Resumes are being sent and we'll see what happens.
On a more positive note, I went to a party at my sister's over the weekend to celebrate our friend Barb The Dyke's birthday and it was a lot of fun. I sat in cake and broke a toe. Yup, I broke a toe at a birthday party. Sitting in cake is a given, for those of you who have had the displeasure of having me at one of your parties. At least at this party I managed not to fall off the porch again. Go ME! But the toe thing really hurt and I guess that's what I get for parading around without shoes like an animal and falling down the stairs. Whoopsie.
I'm going out on a friend's boat on Friday afternoon and one would think that it would be a nice relaxing way to kick off the weekend. The person I'm going with is the kind of person who will take a drive with me to go pick up something from the store and an hour later we're in New Hampshire with a stray dog and a mexican in the backseat, trying to find our way back home. So...wish me luck.
