Story, Style, Meaning, and Emotional Cue

Tyler Durden: [pointing at an emergency instruction manual on a plane] You know why they put oxygen masks on planes?
Narrator: So you can breath.
Tyler Durden: Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you're taking giant panicked breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate. It's all right here. Emergency water landing - 600 miles an hour. Blank faces, calm as Hindu cows.
Narrator: That's, um... That's an interesting theory.

-Fight Club

Two weeks and no post? I'm ashamed of myself...I guess if I had an excuse, it'd be that the past couple of weeks were filled with exams and I couldn't put out the minimal physical energy it actually takes to write something. But here I am again with nothing to say....again. Sort of.

Hmmm...the weather! That's always a good topic. Only in Texas can it be 10o degrees one day and 55 the next. But hey, I'm not complaining. I'm pretty much an idiot for not bringing back more than one long sleeved shirt since my last visit home, so I pulled off wearing the same clothes two days in a row. Don't hate...you know you've done it before too. I took a trip up to Stone Brior mall yesterday in Frisco to buy a jacket and some new jeans, so hopefully that will hold me over until the winter clothes my mom sent me come in the mail. Damn cold fronts...

I've made plans to come home again! My flight leaves the 28th...for those of you who don't remember, the number 28 haunts me. I bet my plane will crash and I'll die. That would make a really cool movie...Anyway, Mary/Brittany/Becca are throwing a Halloween party and you know my ass is gonna be there. Halloween is the shit but I'm still trying to decide on my costume. Should I be the typical zombie like I am every year, Napoleon Dynamite, Conan O'Brien, or a Republican? Comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Wow, I'm really at a loss of words. My camera has been acting funky recently, so the picture department sucks for this post. Oh well...I promise a better blog sometime soon.

Fuck you, exams week!

Mom worries that I'm not eating healthy, so she e-mailed me some easy recipes. I made enchurritos last week and they were muy delicioso.

I think I look around the room and try to take a picture of the most arbitray things and try and make them look neat.

Official blackmail photo of the week. Laura may love her cat too much...she begged me to delete this b/c it just looked wrong.

My amazing jacket I bought on sale at Fossil...I would live in that store if possible.

That's all for today. I'm off to the shady Wal-Mart to buy a few groceries...laters for now!

Hmmm for Halloween you need to decide if you want to be funny or scary. If funny, then you need to to w/ Nap. Dyno... if you want to go for scary then you really have to go w/ the Republican one... hmm... decisions decisions...

:-D
