I now know the secret to becoming morbidly obese--wake up, go to an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. Pork out on pancakes, pastries, and cheesy scrambled eggs. Then, go to sleep. Repeat until desired level of obesity has been reached. Haha, really, though. This is what I did the other day in Kona, and man, it pretty much left me virtually ( Read more... )

I really cannot believe the amount of television I’ve been watching recently.  After having lived for an entire year without TV (and not missing it at all), I thought I would be immune to the mind-numbing temptations of television.  But sadly, I was mistaken.  I was reunited with the boob tube a few weeks ago, and I have been watching a few hours ( Read more... )

Hey, Livejournal, sorry I’ve been ignoring you for so long. It’s just that I’ve found a new place to post my meaningless blogs, and, truth is, I like it better than you. Sorry. But, just for old time’s sake, I’ll go ahead and write something here ( Read more... )

I suppose it's time for an update, though I'm not sure exactly what I want to say here.

The basics:

I'm in Seattle now.

It's cold. (Not that cold, but I feel like whining)

I'm surrounded by sky scrapers.

I don't know anyone here (Except for my roommate, but he's off in Colorado right now)

I've been going to the library every day to get my ( Read more... )

Ever since school ended I’ve pretty much been in sloth-mode. Whenever I’m not working, I’m glued to the television, watching crap shows, or reading trash magazines. I can feel my brain slowly deteriorating from lack of intellectual stimulation, and it does not feel good. I’m gonna have to pick up a book or something before permanent brain damage ( Read more... )

I don't get it--during school (especially when I had papers due) I was able to spend hours upon hours just surfing the internet. Now that school's over, it's just not as fun anymore.

Oh, how I hate being sick.  It all started off with a minor tingling in my throat, then overnight, it turned into a horrible-can't-even-swallow-because-it-hurts deal.  Poo.  I just hope I can make it to work tomorrow 'cause I really could use the money.  Christmas blows.  I have completed approximately 10% of my Christmas shopping, and I don't know ( Read more... )

I was accused of being racist tonight.

Work was extremely busy and we were grossly understaffed in both the kitchen and on the floor.  So of course, all hell broke loose.  People were waiting 45+ minutes for their food, and were, understandably, becoming a little irritated.  On top of that, the cooks were not handling the situation well, and the ( Read more... )

Man, people never fail to amaze me.  Maybe it’s just good old-fashioned holiday depression, served with a side of cynicism, kicking in a little early this year, but it seems to me that the general public has totally abandoned the concepts of politeness, class, and graciousness.  During the past few days, I have witnessed several prime examples of ( Read more... )
