what is it about macaroni and cheese that makes me want to eat it? every rationally functioning neuron in my brain tells me that it's gross and i won't get past the third bite, but the water is boiling on the stove. there you go.
another metaphor for my life? let's not go there.
. . .
today is the first quizbowl buzzer-gavotte of the season and those neurons that are not telling me to put down the atomic orange mac are firing away impotently; questionless, answerless. the rest of me is kind of lonely.
. . .
yesterday, i spent forty-five minutes in a dentist's office listening to smooth jazz and watching fish swim around in a tank, remembering a fish analogy that robert jones once told me. ugh, ugh, smile.
. . .
today was an "informational meeting" at comedy sportz. a few team members showed up (it wasn't mandatory) and mostly just a lot of blah blah blah for parents. i'm very excited.
. . .
if the pressure keeps rising the way it is, i'll have to lower the temperature.
today has been kind of pleasant, in a way. it is the first weekend in a long time that i haven't even pretended to work on my extended essay and college applications. i probably shouldn't even be mentioning them. instead, taking a lesson from a young graf, i have whiled away the afternoon reading the ends of all my favorite books. i already know all the middle stuff, why read it again?
. . .
also, i was right. three bites and was done for. geez.
