I'll throw in a little complaining to even things out. It rained right when I got off work and my roommate came down stairs last night to criticize me because after I cleaned the floor, apparently, the broom fell over. I was pissed off ever since.
Work went well though. I think I accidentally started a new religion. I was teaching them about gods, goddesses, and myths and one student, B-Raw, turned in a piece about a new god named "the Hotdog God," who has the head of a hotdog and lives in a tree in the park and throws hotdogs at people; "sort of like Zeus, but he is homeless and throws hotdogs instead of lightning." Consequently, we all made up some new gods, like the god of the spelling quiz, the god of homework, and the god of the pencil sharpener. Unfortunately, this is apparently pretty close to home for them, so they started mock worshipping them, adn today I had to ban our classroom gods because it was getting out of hand. I secretly hope the gods survive and continue to get worshipped out of sight.
Like I said, the god of skating frowned on the night and the streets are soaked, so I went up to the temple to get some goat curry adn bbq and goat soup and salt water chicken. I bought at least six meals of shit and had to carry it back for 30 min (it's a lot closer on a skateboard). On they way back, I saw the Old Man, sitting outside and smoking under the eave. I htink he is a war criminal but we've become friends, and he gifted me a set of heineken for new years. He is at least 85 years old and todders around, risking a slam like how I do when I skate. I gave him one of the goat curries and a beer. For once in my life, I did the right thing.
The goddess of the cell phone took her slow vengence on me in the last few months. Her brother is the god of the laptop, adn in the last 8 years, he's been slowly electrocuting me through my fingertips as the battery dies. Now, I can feel an electric charge from the thing even at arm's length. I hope that isn't how you get cancer. The goddess of the cell phone is making the battery expand and now the screen is bowing out. I'm a disaster junkie, so I keep using it, even though it only works now when it's physically plugged in and it still electrocutes me though my finger tips, like the laptop. I forgot to turn off the laptop, and when I got home, it was playing ***** ******, which is objectively the best skate video of all time. I don't like it, because it's self aware, but I've been watchign it for a while, because it's so long that you really can't sit through it all in one go, and I never watch the second half.
the hard part aobut the phone is I can't contact anyone. Sorry. I guess I have to spend the money to get a new one now. For the skate of skateboarding in Taipei.
