Bobby Fisher is An Icelander
That isn't a joke title.
I'm trying to quit smoking. So I'm boring.
Last week was a bad week. I got $70 worth of insufficient fund fees, found out I wasn't getting paid AGAIN at work and I lost my IPod.
This week is better: found the IPod (thanks Kat), was promised that some back checks will magically appear in my mailbox this week and actually organized a get together with my fellow students that I've been meaning to do for like years. Oh, and I got to make fun of my cousin for talking about Superman. He's a newsman, so he likes Superman. I think he hides a red cape in his desk somewhere.
Quitting smoking is the most boring thing in the world. Whats the fun? Where's the fun. Oh big deal- now I get to breathe. Who wants to breathe all this nicotine-deprived air? I think my favorite part of the day was coming home, dropping all my things and having that nice smoke right by my window, looking out over the empty lawn at Relish. There is a girl who eats at the table out there in the summer and she looks just like Scarlett Johannson. I used to wave at her, but she never saw me.
But now I'm getting old and I have to worry about lines on my face, my lung capacity and not being able to afford cancer ($20,000 a year after your medical insurance). And I'm so sick of smoking cigarettes whilst talking about quitting smoking cigarettes. And I'm getting fat because I keep trying to quit and then I eat instead of smoking then I smoke anyway - so I end up just feeling like a fat smoker which I can't stand. I think if you smoke then you have to be rail thin and be mistaken for starlets regularly - then you're sort of like a '20's flapper. Sienna Miller is my ideal smoker. Fat smokers just remind me of the current drain on medicare...I know I'm being mean, but this is my blog.
The worst is that I can't shit without that caffeine kick from my morning cigarette, so now I'm irritated and constipated. The gas coming out of me could smoke out a village. I should put up a warning sign before I go into the bathroom at work.
