I’ve found that I’m really good at convincing other people, when I’ve actually fooled myself first.
And in the same way that you can magically ignore text messages when you know who they’re from and don’t care, you can amazingly ignore (and hence convince yourself) of surprisingly interesting things.
Say, hypothetically, one is leaving a comfortable (mosquito free!) apartment with an awesome view in a delicious (in many ways) city.
Say, in as soon as…hm…let’s just pick…eleven…weeks.
In such a case, it makes sense to, for the sake of sanity and general happiness, change the brain’s course from the pattern of “but I haven’t..” and “there’s still….!”or “but the __ is SO GOOD” and .. right.
It becomes useful to observe that…
- The current English reading collection pathetic
- $5 for a mealy apple is unacceptable
- Having more fingers than good friends is somewhat sad
- Watching So You Think You Can Dance over low def flash video is even sadder
And on the flip(state)side um…
- The Camry needs some love
- A batch of unfinished smackdown is begging to be delivered. Two batches, actually.
- Whole Foods Sandwiches
- People. Dogs. Dogs that aren’t like little children with bug eyes and rhinestone accessories and…
- Really Spicy Food
- Non goopy “Chinese” food
Righto. Tally ho, and all that. Looks like I’ll be seeing most of ya’ll sooner rather than later.
Hypothetically, that is. Haven’t quite bought my ticket yet. ;) 11 weeks is a long time!
I’ll need it. Lots of stuff to do.
Stuff like…trying miso ice cream.
(FYI: It tastes like rich, buttery caramel. Totally gonna try to make it myself someday.)
