i\u2019m in bed now, i took an antihistamine which will hopefully make my nose stop running, as i continue to try to avoid this damn cold that wants to take over AGAIN, plus the drug should make me very sleepy and i\u2019ll theoretically (but only in theory, of course, doubtful that that\u2019ll be the reality) sleep throught the night – but i put on the xmas cd, which is called EVERYTHING YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS, and i suggest that you go online and buy it RIGHT NOW, and more specifically, i listened to “mr. heatmiser” and it made me so happy that i had to get out of bed and dance around and sing along (even though i don\u2019t know most of the words, but they\u2019re not difficult to follow). I LOVE THAT SONG! maybe this is a case of longing for something from childhood? i don\u2019t know what it was about that movie that stuck with me all these years, all i know is that the BBVDs do an awesome job of playing the tune, and i want to listen to only that all the time.<\/p>\n
and then eventually i won\u2019t be able to listen for a while because i\u2019ll oversaturate myself with it, just like i finally did with my favorite xmas cd, “hipster\u2019s holiday.” i think i\u2019m going to have to wait a few years before listening to that one again.<\/p>\n
but maybe i\u2019ll show a little restraint this time? i mean, it is possible. it\u2019s conceivable. probable, though? that\u2019s the real question here.<\/p>\n
there were many other things i felt the need to address today, but i didn\u2019t write them down, so i can\u2019t remember some of them. except i talked to a guy who is training for a marathon in a warm climate in january, and last night, WHEN THERE WAS ALL THE SNOW, he ran NINE MILES.<\/p>\n
IN THE DARK.<\/p>\n
IN THE SNOW.<\/p>\n
crazy. but at the same time, when he said this, i felt, I AM LAZY BECAUSE I\u2019M NOT RUNNING OUTSIDE.<\/p>\n
but i know, realistically, that if i were to attempt to run in the snow in the dark I WOULD FALL AND KILL MYSELF. since i have no trouble falling on perfectly dry, smooth, flat pavement, in the middle of a summer day.<\/p>\n
but maybe i\u2019ll run outside one day this weekend.<\/p>\n
but maybe not.<\/p>\n
one other thing that\u2019s been bugging me for a few days is that randy or somebody told me that some celebrity – gwyneth paltrow, maybe? some celebrity married to some guy in a band? her child is named APPLE.<\/p>\n
could a person pick a much worse name? was she sitting in her kitchen one morning, mulling over a list of names, but the list blew away, and so she started staring glassily all around the kitchen (SHE HAD TO BE TAKING LOTS OF DRUGS!), and her eyes fell on a bowl of apples. <\/p>\n
i guess we can just be glad she didn\u2019t know the specific type of apple? so instead, the poor kid would be named fuji, perhaps, or golden delicious? <\/p>\n
what\u2019s wrong with people? is anybody ever NOT going to say to him “you must be the apple of your mom\u2019s eye???” or maybe they\u2019ll call him apple pie.<\/p>\n
i guess that since his parents are celebrities, there\u2019s a certain amount of insulation from ordinary mortal reality that he\u2019ll have, but will it be enough?<\/p>\n
i doubt it.<\/p>\n
APPLE. <\/p>\n
totally, totally retarded.<\/p>\n
what if instead of seeing the bowl of apples, her gaze had turned to other things in her kitchen? could the kid have been named REFRIGERATOR? MICROWAVE? POP TART? STRAWBERRY POP TART? STOVE? SINK??? <\/p>\n
the list is endless and frightening to contemplate.<\/p>\n
HEY BANANA, FINISH YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE WATCHING TV! but is that any worse than APPLE?<\/p>\n
so so so so dumb.<\/p>\n
the drugs aren\u2019t kicking in yet, i don\u2019t feel tired at all. this is because i have to get up in the morning, so that means my mind is saying to me, hell NO it\u2019s not time to sleep yet!<\/p>\n
because my mind loves to torture me like that. like that, and in other ways, too. hard to say what new torture i\u2019ll have to face when i wake up each morning.<\/p>\n
i had a very very busy day today. <\/p>\n
but i didn\u2019t run NINE MILES OUTSIDE. which certainly makes me a slacker.<\/p>\n
and finally, BUY THAT CD! if i was generous in any way, i\u2019d have bought it for other people. but i can\u2019t think of anybody who\u2019d like it as much as me.<\/p>\n
ok ok ok that\u2019s all for FRIDAY.<\/p>\n
grace, december.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
