it's me, scott.

do you ever have one of those days when you feel completely in love with the world?

nah, me either, but i still want to run around at night and make snow angels in the snow, and drive around for hours just talking and driving and not really have any destination or anywhere to be, and sit in some diner in some town i've never been to eating chicken soup. i think the thing i miss most about having a girlfriend is just having someone i can call up and say "let's drive to chicago today and walk around in the pouring rain!" and she could say "alright!" and we would drive to chicago, and just sit and drink coffee (or, you know, chai), and maybe walk to an art museum in the rain and walk inside and look at art while commenting on how we're glad to be out of the rain for a few minutes. or we could forget about chicago and fly to disney world, and i would have someone to go on the 'it's a small world' ride with, and we could walk around having a big adventure finding all of the secret stuff i've been reading about on hiddenmickeys.org for the past three years. or i'd even settle for just someone who would come over, and sit next to me on my couch and watch movies with me. i'm tired of watching movies alone, it's just not the same.

anyway. enough of that.

i haven't gone and played pool with josh in a long time. i hope that since now he's not working a second job anymore, and since i'm not back in school yet, that we'll be able to go some night soon. i suck, but i still used to have a lot of fun going out and trying to pretend like i knew what i was doing!

my coworker ed and i were talking the other day, and we both really want to buy these lego mindstorms robot-building things. they look really cool! they have motion sensors and motors and stuff, and you can build and program your own robots!! and we were going to bring our robots to work, and have them fight eachother, or play 'tag' with eachother, or try to tip eachother over, or something. unfortunately, they cost $200... which i don't have. if you have $200 that you don't want, please send it to me so that i can build a robot. i'd even build one with a vacuum for an arm, and have him go over to your house and vacuum it for you!! so really, i don't see how either of us could lose out on this deal.

it's 7:37am right now, and josh isn't here yet. i don't think he's coming to work today, though i saw him last night and he had just gone sledding, and he looked perfectly healthy! maybe he slept through all four of his alarm clocks again like he did on new years' day.

i went to taco bell again last week, and i bought one of those tasty chalupas, and i saw that they had these new "encharita" things that looked really good in the picture, so i ordered one of those, too. let me tell you, they're not worth the money! they are about 1/1000 the size of the "encharita" in the pictures that they have, and they just really weren't worth my 79cents, or however much it cost.

moral: chalupa = wonderful, encharita = not so much.

last night i watched 'patch adams', and it is an entirely inaccurate film!! let me list the problems which i had with this movie:

- his long white coat loses the meat-packing logo thing half-way through the movie.

- that sky, um, when it shows this really blue sky and it shows the cabin place at night, the sky is entirely too blue! but man, if the sky was really that color, that would be the coolest thing ever. so i think i was okay with this inaccuracy.

- how exactly do you see a 'free hospital' when looking at goofy glasses and a napkin dispenser?

- hospitals don't really make you fill out long forms before visiting people, do they? i actually don't know about this one because i (luckily!) haven't had to visit anyone in the hospital lately, but i don't remember ever having to fill out long forms when i was visiting my grandpa!!

- he says "humans are the only creatures that kill their own species" or something like that. which isn't true! spiders kill their mates after they get their grooves on, and i think they might eat their babies, too.

- there were more, but i can't remember them right now.

anyway. this is getting way too long, and i'm sure you're tired of reading my ramblings by now, so i'll stop writing and go sleep under my desk or something.

love,
scott.
