I don't know what has been up with me lately. I've been EXTREMELY lucky for the last few weeks. Things just magically work themselves out. It's like that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry keeps breaking out even. That is me.

Life has been a gamble lately. I didn't do my phil. paper until the last second, literally - the bell rung right after I finished printing it. Today, I couldn't get into the journalism room but that fact saved me from what could have been an embarrassing ordeal. Skip the details, not important. I had that interview-from-hell as I remember it, turns out Niki's mom is trying to contact her old professor to possibly chat me up.

Of course, this can all end up working out quite horribly. My paper could get a failing grade, the newspaper might not come out in time to be submitted to TAPPS, and I might still not get into Rice. KNOCK ON WOOD!

I've become freakishly superstitious lately. You have no idea. Today.. I was cleaning my room and was throwing away some old college paper. I crumpled up a an empty viewbook envelope from Rice (a big one) and threw it away. It irked me for about 5 minutes until I pulled it out of the garbage, smoothed it out, and filed it back in my college paper crate. I've become an incredible freak. I have my "we received your application" card in a location of height and reverence in my room. I'm prepared to sacrifice a goat.. if I could only find one. Maybe my cousin still has one she wants to sell me.

Mad Max is the saddest movie in the world and I can't stop singing "Do You Realize" by Flaming Lips from that car commercial. Its not the most joyful of songs - "Do you realize" is followed by "you have the most beautiful face" but also "that everyone you know someday will die." Yet it has this happy optimistic, and constant state of wonder like tune. Freaky.

Totally feeling "Soy un Peredor" right now though. I have this overwhelming desire.. to design t-shirt logos.. and either scan or silkscreen them onto shirts.

I woke up before 2 on a Saturday and didn't know what to do with myself. I cleaned my room thoroughly and reorganized my closet and drawers. I got rid of old clothes. Then we filled out my FAFSA form with intermission so dad could do taxes. WOW.. THRILLING.

Tomorrow would have potential but the Super-Fucking-Stupid Bowl is in town and everyone is all totally hyped and giddy. I want to go hit a millionaire tourist and frown at his arm-ornament wife/mistress just to spite all those stupid goddamn billboards telling us to "Smile because we've got company" and those moronic commercials where everyone is singing the joys of Houston/Texas or saying "Hello Houston! HOWDY HOUSTON!!" Oh my fucking gawwwwd.. they got ELLEN to do a soundbite for HOUSTON.. OHEMMMGEEEEEEE DR. PHIL TOOOO!! OMG.. I LIKE TOTALLY CRAPPED MYSELF WITH EXCITEMENT. Dude, those loser ass commercials don't add anything to the lack luster image of Houston. This is still the most boring ass place on the planet. Wow.. if you've come to see the dictionary picture in-real-life of "suburbia" or "Urban sprawl" I guess this is the right place. Honestly, nothing is hear but restaurants - that is what we have. That is also a sad thought because those uppity Zagat assholes didn't publish a guide for Houston or any Texas city for that matter, this year. My mom wrote them an email basically saying in short that they received little response from audience polls and they were looking at the more happening and "exotic" restaurant scenes developing elsewhere. They have like 5 guides for towns in the Carolina's I've never even heard of. I hate Zagat, because of them I have to eat at shitty decrepit holes-in-the-wall because I don't know what the trendy exotic places are. Ok, that's a lie but I'm still miffed. Houston isn't that bad but I hate people cramming "the love" down my throat. Isn't it bad enough that we have our own custom Houston/Texas Ford & Chevy commercials - just goes to show you the huge customer base for those big ass trucks that Texas don't use to haul anything but their asses.

Oh gosh. What a bitchy-ass rant. I'm sleep deprived, maybe I sleep through this nonsense they call the super bowl. Just for canceling the moveon.org commercials, I'm going to watch the crap on the other stations. YEAH! TAKE THAT CBS.. YOU CAN STUFF YOUR SUPERBOWL! I'M WATCHING NOTTING HILL.. ok no.... but I will find something better to do.
