Sad!
Today is Michael’s last day. Sure, we argued a lot, but that’s what two developers do when they both know their way is right (it’s too bad he’s wrong). He’s awesome and I’ll miss him. Also, I’m not sure who I’m going to threaten to kick in the spine anymore. Everybody else here is too nice. On second thought, I’m not going to miss the fact that he just told me how he loved the hamburger at Whole Foods so much he wanted to just stick his head under the grinder and eat it as it came out. ‘Oh, I just got some in my eye!’ After I finished gagging, I asked him why the hell he was still here. Christ. You know how the second you notice you don’t have something, you need it really badly? Ha ha. No! What I mean is I just realized that I forgot to restart my remote access server on my laptop at home, and now it’s making me crazy. I can go a whole week without ever logging in from here, but now that I know I can’t, I have a million reasons I need to. It’s only slightly less torturous that forgetting my cell. So, I’m not too proud to admit that last night, we saw Alfie. Because Hollywood knows that women everywhere will be more than happy to shell out $9 to witness it onscreen, this movie is purely a vehicle for Jude Law’s hotness. I walked in saying I thought he was kinda smarmy; I walked out needing to be hosed down. And if that wasn’t enough, this movie features Long Duck Dong’s triumphant return. And there you were, worrying his career might have taken a downturn after Sixteen Candles. You were so, so wrong. Afterwards, we had a very late dinner. If you walk outdoors from Block E to Luce, it takes maybe take 5 minutes, and that’s only if you stop to laugh at the freaks at Brothers, and to tell the homeless guys you don’t have any change. If you take the skyway, however, it takes something like two hours, and you’re also very aware that at any second, you will likely be mugged and/or raped. The lesson here is to stick to the streets, muchachos. Anyway. We were talking about the breaking point. Specifically, the thing that occurs in a relationship to end it; the behavior so egregious it can’t be forgiven. I came up with a few things that would cause that for me: for example, habitual lying or physical abuse would be deal-breakers. Cheating, I’m not sure. It’s happened to me and while it didn’t help the relationship any, it wasn’t the main thing that ended it, either. In this specific case, however, it came down to just one word: whore. So now you know: if you ever get tired of having me around, just whip that on out. It’s a guarantee you will never hear from me again. Gone! Like magic.Jenni
