The Tory Party

Random Thoughts n + 1

Owowo shenanigans. I`m sitting here in the loudest damn computer lab ever (oh NCSA high school students). Life here is cool so far though I miss my heckling partner and my laundry facilities and my running route with sidewalks e`er so bitterly.

I`m having midterms. What’s up with that? And Friday I`m having some people over to party recuperatively. I can’t believe I`m back to an era where partying can be considered recuperative. Also I can’t believe I`m using “party” as a verb.

There are many other new insane elements in my life but I fear I can’t share them. I can’t! But these I can:

• Saw Edward Scissorhands again on the big screen. Owowowo. What was baffling to me was how much more I related to Dianne Wiest this time. Since I am older now in a totally cliched and linear way. Also I dug more Anthony Michael Hall stalking around as the Prince of Intensity. Ever since I saw that USA ad with his character from Dead Zone talking to Monk I pee a little every time I see him. I am crushing.
• In class we watched an episode of the Wonder Years that our professor was camera operator on. This reminded me of many things. First that it is funny how tiny Fred Savage was at 12 or 13 considering I was 5`8″ and a C-cup when I was 11 (though the perm, coke-bottle glasses and perfectly round face sort of gave away the issue). Second was how damn hell ass much my dad hated Olivia D`Abo’s character on the show. Like, he would get mad when he saw her acting in anything else.

  I used to think she had done something politically that pissed him off, and maybe she did — that sort of thing is why I still haven’t seen Klute, Cat Ballou or The China Syndrome. Also why I had to watch the movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer on the sneak. Also why Steel Magnolias wasn’t allowed in the house. Also why when my mom rented Singles my dad had to be assured that Bridget wasn’t directly related to “that woman I hate.” Heh heh heh. Hate is funny.

  Anyway. Now I see that the character of Karen Arnold was just really really really awful and the embodiment of everything that made him insane about rearing adolescent girls. And stuff.

• Buster Keaton is a bull god. And a hoss. And a stud. And other words like that. I got to watch One Week. Damn.
• I don’t think that Christina Milian song is about singing.
• Everybody here smokes. Not me. I drink Diet Mountain Dew. And I eat like one of the hogs from Hannibal.

Gotta wrap it up here. I got a, um, what’s that thing I have again? Oh yeah. Midterms.
