A Beginners Guide to Patients
• 12/29/2005 - What's new and exciting?
Nothing. Nothing is new and exciting. Lots of new though. My office
door is fixed. I've arranged to have the graphics put on the windows
(finally). Christmas came and went. I got some stuff, and spent some
time with people.
What was it about christmas this year that made it feel so disjointed
anyways? That really is the best word for it this year: disjointed.
It's not the first year I've had to jump to multiple family dinners or
anything, it just didn't feel like the usual cheery christmas. There
was a tree, there was turky, there were presents, but it felt like
everyone was just sort of going through the motions. Are we all burnt
out? Is it finally at the point where our apathy levels boil over and
we've become a big lackluster mess, not even caring enough to clean
ourselves up? Sure feels like it. I know many people have reasons for
being out of the holiday spirit this year. I don't really, and my
immediate family doesn't either as far as I know. The intangible "it"
of the festive christmas just escaped us. Or maybe it's just me, and
all fucked up on this one, and I'm projecting it out onto everyone. Hm?
Nogfest came and went. I've been meaning to get around to writing the
Nogfest '06 review. It was a pleasant evenning. Roughly 25 people
showed up over the course of the night. Looking back on it, I'm kind of
left wondering why I invited Emily. At the time, it didn't seem like a
bad idea at all. She said she'd bring some girlfriends, and I know from
prior experience that her girlfriends can be really cute and decent
fun. They can also be beastly and annoying. Thankfully none of her
guests for the evening were beastly. I didn't really talk to them a
whole lot, since I had to be the host. I can say that they taught me
two valuable lessons: give all of Emily's friends sippy cups for their
red wine (hell, for all their drinks); and make sure the toilet paper
roll is full when Emily goes to the bathroom. Why you ask? Well, let me
answer that question with a question. Or several questions.
When you are changing the toilet paper, how do you manage to drop the
dispenser roll toilet-paper-holder-thingy into a toilet bowl full of
your own pee-water? More so, once you have done this, why do you freak
out and drag the hosts' brother into the bathroom and try to get him to
deal with it? Why, after the hosts' brother walks out of the bathroom
and tells you to "deal with it" before closing the door in your face,
do you deal with it and still not tell the host? No, I got to find out
about it the next morning. After my brother told me about it, I looked
in the bathroom and- sure enough- the dispenser roll was sitting on the
bathroom counter and I had a towel in my bathtub. WTF? Did she wash her
hands, but not wash them enough so that the towel was contaminated with
her pee-water? I don't get it. Maybe she was doing coke, which
exponentially increased her sketchiness.
Anyways, the highlights of Nogfest: Many good friends did show up and
we all had a good time. Four or five pounds of bacon were cooked, two
pounds of which were butcher shop bacon which was amazing. Mangina did
NOT make an appearacne (although some people might argue with me on
that being a highlight). Things didn't wrap up till 5 in the morning, I
woke up at 8:30 and started cleaning at 10, despite having two people
sleeping in my living room (Hahahaha).
Alright, fuck, Ima go do stuff now. Oh, and Shane: Poop-bot is gonna happen.
