some things i am enjoying recently:
(not in a holy shit this rocks way but in a grateful to be alive way)
- i am currently on an amtrak train to boston eating the worst grilled cheese sandwich. they sell a grilled cheese sandwich that they microwave and the bread is like, stretchy. it’s incredible. it’s so rubbery in a way i’ve never experienced before. if i put away the ego of “this sandwich sucks” i’m kind of just left marvelling at how uniquely un-sandwich-like it is. what a ride.
- i also watched a movie last night that SUCKED so bad. i don’t wanna say what it was because i hate being mean. but bro. it sucked. BAD. like one of the most mind-numbingly stupid things i’ve ever seen. but when i stopped being upset about how much it sucked i got to enjoy how deeply funny it is for something to suck so bad. and not just like, somebody did a bad cartwheel. this was intentional. and took teams of people months of collaboration. and it sucks dog balls. that rocks.
- today was also hilariously horrible for personal and financial reasons that i will not divulge here, but i can describe it like this: have you ever looked at your bank account and the balance was so bad that it bordered on physical comedy? like it’s not even funny in the way a conscious joke is funny. i opened my bank account and it was just a video of charlie chaplain slipping on a banana peel and getting hit in the face with a pie.
- sometimes i don’t like the way i look, but then i’m like, at least i look really funny. like, it’s cool that bad things are funny. it’s like an immune response or something. i could shit my pants on my wedding day and it’d still be like… that’s a great bit.
- i thought i was going to have to put down my beloved pet rabbit wilbur this week, but luckily the vet had financial aid options and he is now recovering from a surgery where they removed part of this liver. this poor fucking rabbit has had syphillis, MRSA (antibiotic resistant strain of staph), and now has a liver lobe torsion. and he’s a fucking fighter dude! i’m so proud of him. but also, that is funny. the amount of modern medical intervention he has received is quite frankly astonishing.
so i hope you had good-good stuff happen this week but also maybe some bad-good stuff too. it’s been a real cold shower of a week but we made it through!
thanks for being here :)
