Sweet Keith

Not dead, just writing. Hence, the blog is less travelled. I can barely make sentences that don't obey academic syntax.

In light of Miriam's decision to finish her degree in time for spring graduation, and thus avoid paying another semester's tuition, and in support of the view that her life at this point has been reduced to wearing a pair of pyjamas five days in a row, while carrying large piles of 8 X 11 paper and rainbow coloured file cards from room to room in her increasingly messy apartment. Given these "paradoxical" circumstances, it can be inferred that by all measures, Miriam is thinking herself to be mentally unstable, that is in colloquial terms; "fucked in the head" if she for a moment believes she is actually going to get it all done in time.

Anyways, speaking of fucked in the head, over the past two weeks I have:

- poured ginger-ale into a pot reserved for noodles
- milk into the base of an espresso maker
- jumped onto a moving treadmill

Otherwise behaved like a muddle-headed academic type who's got wool in her ears.

In other news, tonight while cooking noodles sans ginger-ale emergency, I was listening to the cbc and they were doing a piece on this lady:

The Black List + Valentine's Day ROM-COM report back

This is probably one of the best monologues on race and racism I have ever watched. And it's by Chris Rock. I am not a big fan of his comedy, but if you watch to the part where he starts to talk about boxing it's pretty fucking wick-ed.

I drank many many glasses of wine last night, the movie "When Harry Met Sally" is about as bad as I remembered.

Va-day-day

I made this event on Facebook and I love it so much I am posting it on my blog. Blogosphere, consider yourself invited;

Valentine's day is for pussies

Cupid I will beat you at a fair fight

Host: Miriam and her bleeding heart
Type:Causes - Protest
Network:Global

For a number of reasons:

1/ Valentine's day takes perfectly good colours - pink and red, and makes them represent retarded sissy concepts like "romantic love" and "devotion".

2/ Because love is a strong emotion, not for the weak of heart, but you would never guess that from looking at Valentine's day cards.

3/ For this quote from the movie Closer - but basically for that movie in it's entirety:

Dan: You think love is simple. You think the heart is like a diagram.

Larry: Have you ever seen a human heart? It looks like a fist, wrapped in blood! Go fuck yourself! You writer! You liar!

Valentine's day is a holiday made up by troubadours, poets and chocolate manufacturers, I spit in your face Valentine's Day!

We're going to drink and play boardgames and talk about all our worst date experiences, it will be fun ;)
