All I Want for Christmas is a Brand New Mountain Range
Hey! Merry Holidays!
After all my kvetching and sad-facing about the snow, i got to see some while i was out East for Christmas. It didn't do much on the ground, but if you were lying down on a couch looking up at the sky and the Oak trees, it was hella nice. And ok actually, the first night it was falling it was a little sketchy on the roads. Which, OK, i need to tell you something.
If you have an SUV, i mean, i support your right to live and all that, I might even have sex with you if you're otherwise cool, but I need for you to know that you are NOT A SUPERHERO WHO CAN GO 80 MILES AN HOUR IN THE SNOW AND THEN STOP. Yes, you can go fast, and that's really great and i'm really happy for you but your brakes aren't magic and they can't keep you from dying, or more likely, killing me in my tiny little rental car when you come up on a traffic jam or an old lady riding her Snazzy across the interstate in her pajamas or whatever. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm down with the crazy driving, I'm hip to that joint and all that -- I am a card carrying reckless driver and everything, so you can take it from me: it's cool to stay in school and crack is wack. And you know that's a fack cause whitney houston backs my shit up.
So other things. Um... i have a wireless network in my little apartment now which is so hot right now, and i am worried that it's going to fry my brain but not enough to turn it off. I also have a laptop which is going to totally make my life a different place to live, i swear to god, i am going to go everywhere with it, all over the place... except for now, since at the moment i am sitting at my exact same desk as where my desktop is, but you know. The weather's crazy nice now cause it's decembery january-y, and in LA that means super clear super pretty super sunny temperate niceness. Yesterday, i swear to baby Jesus i saw a mountain range that i DID NOT previously know was there. I am not exaggerating. So me and my laptop: we're going places. Is what i'm trying to say.
