Disorganized Chaos

I swear, I used to think I knew it all. Now, when faced with the prospect of a new activity… I find myself flabbergasted. Buying a new item? This warrants at least five hours of research! If there are any conflicting reviews, pick a new product, start from scratch. My CD burner died. I usually just buy a cheap-o whatever and I’m done with it. This time, I decided I wanted a blu-ray burner. Went, bought one, it didn’t work, brought it back… that was a week ago, I still don’t have a burner. It took me two weeks to pick/buy a car stereo.

I might have been a little late to the game on the How I Met your Mother craze, but I’ve caught up on reruns every weeknight on Expert Satellite. I definitely see what all the fuss is about. Barney might be one of my favorite characters on TV. He is undeniably self-absorbed and borderline terrible actually, but I love him. I’d kind of like to be friends with him in real life, as a matter of fact. He completely disregards anyone else’s feelings, is concerned only with his own interests, and is shameless in his selfishness. And yet somehow he is likable. I’m still not sure how that works. Lily is the polar opposite of Barney. She’s a kindergarten teacher who is obsessed with married life, and he’s a perpetual bachelor obsessed with…being a perpetual bachelor. You throw in Ted, who’s lovable and funny, Marshall, who’s completely goofy, and Robin, who’s dry and witty, and you’ve got a serious motley crew. Somehow they all get along perfectly. It’s a miracle of modern television.

I don’t know what’s been going on with me lately, but I’ve been drinking quite a bit more alcohol than usual. I think I just want to relax and have some escapism. Of course for me, a lot of alcohol is like, three beers, so there ya go. Also, why does beer make your farts smell so bad? I swear this never happened when I was younger. Maybe there’s something in the beer that wasn’t there before?
