Its taken me about 2 months, but I'm finally getting into "Love in the Time of Cholera". It's the second book that I've had to force myself to read. The first being "Atonement". Something about being WAY too descriptive. It just put me off as soon as i opened it.
I've been keeping busy lately. Dating, hanging out, doing the same old same old. I always thought when i was younger that I'd be out doing something waaaayyyy bad ass by the time i was 21. I think I'm fulfilling that dream. I always wanted to be a bar junkie. Getting to meet interesting people with liquor scorched on their breath. It's happening very slowly but very steadily.
Maybe I should have stayed in college? Maybe.
Now I just get to spend my time behind my desk at work. We're still getting a lot of strangers here at work. The deaf man from a couple of weeks ago.. well a month ago. He called me the other day. It was probably the most interesting phone conversation I've had at work. (He actually called me twice that day.) I've never actually interacted with anyone that was deaf, so pardon me if this seems a little naive.
I knew that when you were deaf you would need someone to talk on the phone with you. I sat here thinking "Yea, this is the deaf guy alright. He wants a job, but we can't really hire him to work out in the back in the plants... it's kind of dangerous...". That's totally discrimination, but how do i say it in a way that seems plausible? as the conversation went on, and a while after i hung up the phone i thought to myself "That must be an awesome job."
The Job? Oh! To be a phone operator... The woman that i was speaking to that was talking on his behalf had to act out his emotions based on his signs. Or at least that's what i figure they were doing. Even so... She did an amazing job. I felt very uncomfortable because she made it so realistic. How do you even get into that field?!
On a different note... Forgetting Sarah Marshall? Awesome movie. I spent the last couple of days quoting it. Except i keep quoting the same quote "I'm Samantha I HAVE SEX WITH EVERYONE!"....
What else do i have to look forward to? Pineapple Express... duh. While I'm at it... Harold and Kumar... They weren't even in Guantanamo Bay for 5 minutes. Didn't i watch this exact same movie before? Wasn't it Harold and Kumar go to white castle? No? Oh well it was the same thing... except this time there wasn't a cheetah. And the cheetah was the heart and soul of that movie.
