I don't know if I will attend my high school reunion in a few years (Yep, it's coming up.), but I like to imagine what it would be like. Lots of children, I think. Privileged middle class white people who've been told they're wonderful their whole lives tend to give birth to people that will continue to do the same. However, those who have never had love try and find it with a... let's say stranger, for all intents and purposes, have a child with said stranger, and then split. So tykes and tots will be in abundance. I hope alcohol is served at this event. Not for me, for them. And if I go, I hope I remember to bring a camera.

Sunday night always feels... wrong. It feels like it should be better than it is. Like it's supposed to be happy and joyful and relaxed and... holy, or some shit like that. But it never is. It's just pre-Monday anxiety filled with disappointment that the weekend is almost over, and you probably didn't get as much done as you wanted to. Thankfully, I did a few hours of homework and laundry, and that's about as much productivity as I can ask of myself between Friday and Monday.


Popcorn is really good. But when I eat it, it's usually too much and I feel like throwing up. Never thrown up popcorn before, but I imagine it's like a bunch of little scratchy kernels combing the mucous of the esophagus as it comes back up. And by the time it gets to your mouth, it's one big gummy-juicy-crispy wad, not unlike a mixture you'd see flowing down the rivers of some planet light years away.


Several years ago, there was a TV channel called TechTV. It was great. They had a news show that focused on news stories from around the globe that dealt with technology. There was the troubleshooting show Call For Help. And of course The Screen Savers, an hour long variety show of reviews, discussions, and all-around nerdiness. After a while, it merged with the video game channel G4 to make G4TechTV, then it dropped half the moniker and just became G4 again. A few shows from TechTV survived, but it is mostly a video game channel again. Next year, I am thinking about interning at one of the shows and maybe working in television. I can't promise I'll be good, but at least I'll look good.


That last sentence was really stupid. This is going no where at warp speed. I'm gonna go eat.
