cat daddy


So I'm sitting at work, I'm pinned to this seat till 2 am this July evening. Clearly the reps are blowing up my phone, so it's completely necessary that I be here. Regardless, I was looking through Anthro's current furniture options and the unpleasant thought came to me how similar real life is to the Sims when it comes to money. The way you just had to wade through the mundane, repetitive motion of everyday life until you've somehow saved enough to buy a couch. To what reward? You now have a couch. And that is nice, but really was it worth the bore? And where do you go from here-a matching chair? A complementary throw? I don't know, but who likes to think about that.
I suppose it's more about what you do in-between, with the time that still belongs to you. I don't pretend to be an expert at this, but I am pretty well practiced in doing what I want to do.

And what I want to do is spend every minute I'm not at work, outside. I've thought that I didn't like Utah weather but what I've learned is I just don't like doing what I don't like to do... I like snow, but I don't like walking to school in it.. because I don't like school. Has nothing to do with the snow itself. This is good to know, because it means that I'm not a pathologically negative person, I'm just impatient and self-centered.

   

One of the best parts of Provo is Provo Canyon. It literally has everything you could ever want from a canyon. (ha ha) But seriously, I went for a little walk before work on this trail and there were so many bikers out. And the river, like every other body of water around here, was flooded so there were people playing in it. It was so nice. The canyon is nice. Really work isn't so bad either, we made friendship bracelets and danced on the balcony, and stole food from the executives fridge and watched the fireworks. Mainly it just sucks now because everyone is gone and I don't want to answer the phone because whooo calls this time of night? Only creeps and people who are annoying.

  1. I love it. I love you. And you are not Self centered. And impatience isn't always a bad thing. It gets you places. And ahhhh the day I get an Anthro couch with a matching throw and chair:)

  2. "The indescribable innocence and beneficence of nature--of sun, and wind, and rain, of summer and winter--such health, such cheer, they afford for ever! And such sympathy have they ever with our race, that all Nature would be affected, and the sun's brightness fade, and the winds would sigh humanely, and the clouds rain tears, and the woods shed their leaves and put on mourning in midsummer, if any woman should ever for a just cause grieve. Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself?"
