i’m in love (and other mindless chatter)…

the young woman to the left is my future wife stacey farber.  i found her last night while flipping channels as i was talking to heather.  stacey is(/was?) on a show called degrassi: the next generation.  it's a canadian show apparently which is funny because i also spoke with stephums last night and stephums is canadian.  why is that funny?  i don't know.  none of the shit in alanis morrisette's song is ironic, so fuck off.

so i sorta watched degrassi with no volume as that would have been rude to heather.  heather had watched degrassi before so i would tell her who was on the screen and she'd tell me a bit of back story.  i would then make up my own story for the episode i was watching.  i had a great time doing this.  i really believe this is the future of television!  maybe they had it right back in the 20's all along?  who the hell needs talkies?  it's much more interesting to make everybody a whore, gay, or pedophile.

in one of my stories a whorish girl was in love with the gay guy who had a secret crush on his teacher who as it turned out was arrested for possession of child pornography after he went and got his computer fixed.  in the end the gay guy went to visit the teacher (thinking he had a hell of a chance due to the pedo charges) and the whore followed.  the teacher snapped the gay kids neck and then had vicious sex with the girl before being shit and nearly killed by the guards.  he wound up with brain damage and spent the rest of his days on life support because his wife refused to visit her pedo husband in the jail hospital long enough to sign the "dnr" papers.

hey…i said interesting, not funny or good in any way. 

so my future wife is 21.  great age for a great girl.  reminding me of a convo i had with one of the kids i played world of warcraft with back in the day.  not right to call him a kid really, he's 20, but i've got a decade on him so i take the privilege.

see, we were talking bout his job (he's a traveling tech sorta guy for a it firm) and i wondered allowed that he likely saw many attractive females in his travels and he might want to stat with them for his dating needs.  he replied with "yeah, a lot of them are hot, but i prefer girls my own age."  to which i countered with "oh that doesn't change, all men prefer girls your age."

anyway if anyone knows stacey, i'd love to meet her.  tell her i said hi and ya know, leave out the implied prison murder/rape scene, eh?

onto house keeping.  in regards to my plan to stimulate the economy dan from using humor  (you've no idea how hard it is for me to spell humour like that) had to go and ruin the fun by pointing out i likely should have failed 2nd grade math.  he did it nicer than that, but the fact remains i bungled the math for the sake of my own joy.  everyone doesn't get ONE MILLION DOLLARS anymore.  sorry, blame dan.

of course this makes me wonder if dan had gone over the books for the real government if we'd be in the mess we're in?  perhaps we're all screwed because someone forgot about a zero and just didn't tell us?

saw the wrestler last night.  great fuckin movie.  if you haven't seen it, you should.  i'm not going to say anything else about it because i'll babble and ruin it if i do but it was totally worth the $12.50 it cost to see it.

$12.50?  yeah.  that was a hell of a shock when i hit the lil machine to pay that price.  it's brutally amazing how much movies cost these days.  not that it would have kept me form seeing it, but damn last time i went to a movie it only cost $10, which is still insane for most of the country.  hell, when i saw the dark knight–in imax–it only ran me $9.  granted that was in va beach, but damn, hell of a difference.

makes you wonder why anyone goes to the movies anymore?  skip a few, buy a 50 inch plasma (better for movies) and pop your own damn popcorn.  who needs a cup holder and reclining seat when you can lay on your couch? 

feeling a bit amorous?  (as i'm sure stacey and i will numerous times)  you can fuck the hell out of your woman (or whoever i guess) and not have to worry about her saying "but there's people around."  and if there are people around, they're probably your friends anyway.  nothing to keep the spice in your relationship like a bit of wife swapping, eh?

finally…spring training has begun!  baseball season is here and the world is almost right.  that, of course, means my annual pick the winners incorrectly column will appear sooner too…w00t!
