lately i have had not a lot to do. that is because one week ago i came to edmonton for

neal pollack is funny.no real reason at all except to stay for awhile. and also to hang out with a friend whom i have not seen for about four years (is that the correct usage of ‘whom’? i never know). what amazed me besides how awesome i am, is that there is an inordinate amount of people who have no clue where edmonton is. dudes, wtf? do you know NO world geography, at all?? that you do not even know the location of one of canada’s larger cities baffles me? srsly, like ten people said: where is that?

anyway i have switched from my usual rum & coke/pepsi to gin & tonics, and i have been enjoying them. however, i only have one glass left for the night, which is mildly annoying, but nevertheless. my friend-slash-new-roommate is gone to victoria for the weekend (also in canada, retards) and i am left at home to write things and drink, and also to read and watch tv. today i finished neal pollack’s ‘anthology’ which is a hilarious satire of all those pompous ‘thought pieces’ you can find in prominent magazines such as the new yorker, or time, or newsweek, or whatever. pollack’s articles for slate.com are quite funny as well. his over-the-top style and mastery of witty anecdotes pander deliciously to my personality. i highly recommend it. and i am probably in love with you, the reader(s?).
