thursday

i'm drunk, but that's because it's thursday. this (isn't this?) the point of thursday. we went to BBQ tonite, and i got a "texas sized" big frozen drink callled the Blue Hawaii. what vile excess. and i hate to admit it, but as i ordered, and a good 10 minutes afterward, and a good halfway through the drink actually, i kept thinking about how lethal the drink was. perhaps it was just because we were at bbq, which is by far the most instantaneously lethal eating establishment in the galaxy. perhaps it was because i am old and subtly turning into a person i never wanted to be, but i was really obsessing aver this. i mean, what makes this drink blue?? could it be any natural substance? i have my doubts. in fact, i have the distinct feeling that yellow #5 was involved, not to metion red #5 and, most certainly, high fructose corn syrup. these, in conjunction, make up the evil trio of That Which Will Probably Give Me Cancer. and i have actually been trying not to consume anything that falls into the TWWGMC category (operative word: trying. notice that "suceeding" was not mentioned). basically that means, for me, that i think twice before consuming such substances, then consume them anyway, then lie awake at night imagining tragic scenarios in which it all catches up to me.

anyway, i drank the drink anyway, the entire thing, and now i'm drunk. and this is a relief for a number of reasons: a) being drunk on a thursday is always a relief. b) being drunk on any day of the week is always a relief (oh yes it is. it is! shut it, you puritan.) c) i still have the ability to get drunk off one drink, and that bodes well, in the sense that it means my tolerance cant be that high.

anyway, all this aside, cuz its dumb, its been a long week. in the past few weks, i got to go away to tropical islands and got completely spoiled. sadly, all luxurious things come to an end. and in the end, what is left for us is menial labor. so back to work i went this week. back to my tiny evils at school. they have all grown over 2 feet in the past month, i swear, and they ate me alive this week, what with their answering back and anorexia and misanthropy. one kid even showed up without eyebrows, a mystery im still trying to solve. hence the drink. hence the thursday night rant. hence all the excess.

if you have read this entry and not dropped dead of boredom or loneliness, you are to be comended.
