Why did they choose the shortest month for this challenge?

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

As you know, I’ve tried to write a novel in a month. I failed, but I was brave in the attempt and, more importantly, I managed to get a bunch of words written.

In February, I will once again try to finish something in a month - this time, I will try to write an entire album (14 songs) worth of music. Join me in my monthly madness.

I viewed a film

Monday, January 29th, 2007

This weekend I saw Saw. There is also a Saw 2. I wish I had seen Saw 2 too because then I could say I that I saw Saw and saw Saw 2 too. Had I seen them in reverse order I could say that I saw Saw 2 and saw Saw, too.

Having seen Saw, I can say that Saw was a superb movie. You should see Saw so you can say you saw Saw too and then see Saw 2 so you can say you saw Saw 2 too. Bonus points if you see Saw while riding a see-saw so you can say you saw Saw too on a see-saw.

What was his name again?

Here’s a conversation I had with a friend over the phone yesterday:

Her: “That reminds me of that one guy. You know, the guy? You know which guy I’m talking about?”
Me: “Uh, no. Could you vague that up a bit for me?”
Her: “You know… that German guy who killed a bunch of people.”
Me: “… um… [pause]… you mean Hitler?”
Her: “Yeah, that’s the guy.”

I always have trouble remembering his name and what he did too.

AZN PRIDE!!!

Friday, January 12th, 2007

I finally got home internet access. Surprisingly enough, that’s not what I’m going to write about today. Instead, I will share with you an invitation I received yesterday via Myspace to join a very exclusive club:

Hey, yeah I saw you on one of these asian groups ;) lol, I just wanted to invite you to aznspace.com - basically something like myspace but dedicated for asians only, unify all the asians!

http://aznspace.com

Come Speak Up! Good Luck is bad unless you run and hide, cuz we’re thugz for life baby, Asian Pride.

Go there and signup if you proud to be an ASIAN!

Let us review.

Hey, yeah I saw you on one of these asian groups ;)
No, you didn’t. I do belong to a group called “People named Henry,” but as far as I know, that’s not an asian group. Also, why are you winking at me?
lol,
What you said was not funny at all. I don’t know why you’d be laughing out loud.
I just wanted to invite you to aznspace.com - basically something like myspace but dedicated for asians only,
That’s exactly what the world needs - another web site where people can post photos of themselves being drunk. I guess this site would be different, though, because it would only be drunk asians.
unify all the asians!
I have no desire to be united with any group that includes you.
Come Speak Up! Good Luck is bad unless you run and hide,
Um… what?
cuz we’re thugz for life baby, Asian Pride.
Because we all know thugz like to kick it all day on Myspace wit otha thugz, yo.
Go there and signup if you proud to be an ASIAN!
I’m more proud of the fact that I know the difference between “you” and “you’re.”

I’m glad I have internet at home now. It allows me to receive awesome messages like this one.

Monday, January 8th - A Sonnet for your collective asses

Monday, January 8th, 2007

 

Today the city smelled like a gas leak,
But there was no leak and everyone’s fine.
Today is Monday, the start of the week
And I’m at my desk, writing down these lines.

I’m pretty sure that I am getting sick;
I am all hopped up on Dayquil right now.
Rain falls outside, making all the streets slick.
From the sixth floor window I watch the crowds,

their umbrellas floating like lily pads
upon a pond of concrete and humans.
I grab my coat to join up with the herd
and head for the seven train to Brooklyn.

“Crappy new year,” I think as the clouds burst.
But it’s not so bad - at least it’s not worse.

At least I’m not standing there naked

Coast Union High School
Please don’t make me go back here.

For the past year or so, I have had a reoccurring dream in which I failed a class in high school (usually English) and that I have to go back and retake the course. What makes this dream more terrifying is the fact that when I wake up, I have to reassure myself that I don’t actually have to go back to high school. I don’t have to go back… right?


Law & Order (& Me)

I'm not her boyfried, but I will portray him on TV

Farewell 2006. It was nice knowing you. 2007, how’s it going?

With the new year comes the obligatory list of new year’s resolutions. Here’s mine:

  1. This year, I will get onto the show Law & Order: SVU. I will play the part of Assistant District Attorney Casey Novak’s boyfriend.
  2. If that’s not possible, I will get onto the show as a pizza delivery man who is always delivering pizzas to her apartment.
  3. If that doesn’t work, I will try again to get onto the show as her boyfriend.

That’s pretty much all I’m really looking to accomplish. If I manage to get one of these things done, I will consider this year an overwhelming success.
