On why I hate Early Action decisions coming out this weekend
Me: Hi! What can we get for you tonight?
High School Girl #1: (to her friends) Oh my gawwwwd! I can't believe he got into MIT! Like, nobody gets into MIT!!!
HS Girl #2: I know! It's impossible to get into MIT! It's so craaaaazy!
Me: Um, it's not crazy. I went there for a year and a half.
[utter silence]
Me: Anyway. What kind of pizza would you like tonight?

We get some truly odd books here at Powell’s. This is one.
“Having studied all manner of pets from parakeets to palominos for nearly twenty years, Joesph E. Wylder has arrived at the startling conclusion that animals can and do understand our thoughts and speak to us in silent telepathic language, that they can perceive and warn us of danger, find us over hundreds of miles, act intuitively in harmony with our unexpressed desires, and even display uncanny scientific ability, such as warning us of earthquakes and assisting our advance missile guidance systems.”
Fun fact: there are some very strange people in this world. If pets can assist “our advance missile guidance systems” then they can sure as hell guide my boss toward giving me a raise.

Affleck, Damon to make Bulger movie
- Boston-bred superstars Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are set to bring Whitey Bulger’s story to the big screen. Damon told GQ magazine that he will star in the flick as the Southie gangster and Affleck will direct.
Wait, didn’t Matt Damon already do this? And wasn’t it called The Departed?

great. now i want a big yeller tent.
This just makes me want to curl up in a bunch of sleeping bags with a hot cup of tea and listen to the rain. While wearing big, fuzzy wool socks, of course.
Yes, yes I am an Oregonian. How’d you guess?

Fuck you, America.
Yesterday, my doctor prescribed me a medication for my microscopic colitis that would help me finally feel better (well, for longer than a month) for the first time in several years.
Today, my pharmacist told me that medication costs $1200 a month, and my insurance would only be covering 70% of that.
I’m supposed to be taking this medication for at least three months.
Moral of the story: I am really annoyed at America right now, and I’m fucked. Getting my colitis under control is my top priority right now - I’d really like to be healthy enough to function this next term, so I can get good grades and go back to MIT. That would be really, really nice.
I realize things could be a whole hell of a lot worse, but having this country’s healthcare system fuck me over again is overwhelming and frustrating. I watched Sicko a couple of weeks ago, which is certainly not helping. If I were born in Canada or England or something, today would have been waaaay better.

The air’s thick with humidity and fog today - something that won’t go away too quickly. With a dewpoint around 70 degrees today (as it was Sunday) and afternoon temperatures reaching just past 80, oppressive humidity will remain today and only slowly will more tolerable conditions arrive, said National Weather Service meteorologist Eleanor Vallier-Talbot.
THIS is why I never want to be on the eastern seaboard during summer.
West Coast = Best Coast.
(Don’t worry Boston, I still miss you like crazy… just not right now…)

My girlfriend kicking the building of an architect she does not like haha.
I KNOW THAT BUILDING!
I used to take classes in that building! I also used to quietly laugh to myself during the winter because there were buckets everywhere to catch leaks.

Bend, Washington, USA
Too bad Bend, Washington doesn’t actually exist. Maybe North Bend, Washington? Or South Bend, Washington? Or even Bend, Oregon?

At the pizza place where I work, we have plates customers can color on and then hang on a wall. This is proof we have amazing customers.

Dear everyone,
When you go to a restaurant, don’t treat the people behind the counter like shit. When I ask you to move, there’s a reason. Also, I can do math - I went to MIT.
Go fuck yourselves.

Sometimes, our customers just leave me speechless! That guy just told me our pizza is better than relationships.

So it goes.
