writing

I wrote the two entries below by hand (by hand!) while having breakfast in a restaurant.
The waitresses looked at me funny and the supervisor came three times to see if everything was fine. Apparently not a lot of people write while they eat and I was making them nervous. And now I know why the country is in the state it is.

Next to me there were three ladies who lunch having breakfast but ladies who breakfast doesn’t have the same ring to it. One was talking about her latest trip to Saint Louis whose sole purpose was buying the kind of soup she likes and isn’t available here.
I kept listening and turns out they were teachers. Private school teachers, of course, because public school teacher will never be able to pay a trip to Saint Louis to buy soup. Even buying soup nationally gets kind of hard with their salary. And now I know why the country is in the state it is.

And why do I feel like I keep repeating myself?

Bad.dreams

I had a bad dream.
In my dream I left my car in a parking lot and went out to the street were I ran into a big big white dog with a bone in his mouth that was barking
(Side note: have you seen that? Dogs that want to play with the thing they have in their mouth so they bark without dropping the thing? I love when they do that and I just wrote a gazillion word sentence)
Anyhow, I got scared so I threw him what I was carrying with me (it was a black Bic pen not that it has something to do with the story but I am all in for accuracy). The dog ran for it and came back so I started walking really slow to go into the parking lot again.
And when I got in, instead of car keys hanging from the little hooks in parking lots (not the self-service ones) there were lots of black Bic pens so I threw another one to the dog.
But I hit him and the dog turned into a very ugly transvestite with no front teeth so I started walking really slow to get to my car. But he/she (another side note: what’s the PC way of calling a transvestite? I never know) ok, then the toothless person told me all she wanted was to cut a star from the yellow fabric that suddenly appeared on top of my car.
And I told her I was afraid of her. She got mad and told me she would beat me and I woke up when she put her hand on my hip.

So my question is: why the hell do I keep walking slowly in my dreams even when I’m in danger? Oh yes, and what does a mean toothless transvestite represents?

And since I’ve done the most boring thing a person can do and made you read my dream now you can tell me yours and I will give you my undivided attention. I swear.

Dear person in charge of this office:

Please stop bugging me about the amount of work we haven’t done after you spent IMing to your entire contact list all day and searching for the perfect smiley to go with every.single.sentence you wrote.

Sincerely,
z.

P.S. I also fell compelled to inform you that:
1) I do not care if/when you go shopping
2) I do not care how much you hate eating out every single day and how your mommy pays for everything.
3) I do not care if your new apartment has a roof garden that your mommy paid for because it was only another 10,000 dollars.
4) Your outfit can not be labeled as “punk executive”. And please stop saying that because it’s pretty stupid.
5) The amount of smileys you use is so fucking annoying.

:)

survey.addict

I jus answered another survey. It's like in the US where you get calls in the middle of diner to ask you aout your opinion about the green dots on the purple dinosaur. Only here in the third world* the survey people doesn't call you, they knock on your door.

And the thing is that they get paid my how many surveys they fill so I always fell bad for them and I end up answering every.single.survey.

But man! are the questions stupid or what? Just now I had to answer yes or no to statments regarding my mouthwash. And no, it's not sporty nor classy or for people with money. And yes, it is boring and for old people and boring people but my dentist recommended that brand so what can I do?

I really do not know what kind of information can marketers get from those surveys. I can barely remember if I bathe today (i didn't) and they want me to rmemeber an add I saw three months ago? It's good the people doing the surveys get paid regardless the memory of the answerer. * I love saying that whenever something goes wrong: "oh man, this is SO third world!!!" My mom laughs at me every single time.
