Of robots and teeny-boppers
for Christmas, my nephew may have asked for the single coolest thing a five year-old has ever conceived of: “a robot that obeys only its master.” i think that is AWESOME. i had to get him some Yugi-Oh crap though — what is it with the Japanese, anyway?
i was in the mall yesterday, shopping for 4 hours for Christmas presents (yes, it nearly killed me), and i had the occasion to tour Hollister, where Robert’s sister works. oh man. if everything that’d bad about 8th grade could be distilled down into a 25′x50′ store, that’d be it. whew! it was all i could do to keep from laughing out loud.
hm. on a more serious note, my life has been a damn rollercoaster lately — but only on the inside. it’s kind of pathetic in a way that i don’t have more control over my emotions, but sometimes it really does seem beyond my control. i hate that feeling. i hate it so much. but the antidote is simple: to live usefully.
wooooooooo
