summer: take two (or three, or four…)
So, there down below (my first post, my lack-of-motivation-but-motivated-enough-to-sound-relatively-intelligent post) is an example of how last summer was going. It’s not a good example by any means. Last summer was absolute shit. I don’t really think the shit gets conveyed quite right. My summers aren’t really all that great, I’ve been on a solid four-year run of poop. Lemme break down the past couple:
Summer 2o1o: broke up with first-ever-really-real boyfriend. (not terrible, but, at the time, trauma-inducing.)
Summer 2o11: cousin dies. worst job of life (pseudo-best thing EVAR) (WORK ALL THE HOURS! {insert meme}). bout of depression. tv breaks. car dies. nana dies week before fall semester classes start.
i shall take this opportunity to expand a little on the above airing of grievances (i will also point out every Seinfeld reference to better you…airing of grievances is a Seinfeld reference. A Festivus for the rest of us!). About the tv: while this is not technically that catastrophic, proper television function is crucial to household happiness where i live. What would the day be without at least one episode of Gilmore Girls or Seinfeld? i’ll just answer that for you, it would be poop! Upon realizing our television was broken (it made this fantastic popping noise and a little bit of a static crackle and then it got all fuzzie and we got really scared) we found a replacement stat: Megatron. And no, that was not our awesome attempt at naming our little tv after a transformer, that was what it was really called. it said megatron. on the front. in letters. that was the awesome part. the not-so-awesome part was its teensie stature. it did what it could, but all in all it was basically the size of a very square bulky laptop and if i sat all the way across the room on the short couch (the short couch is awesome, it’s not like a short bus) (i make politically un-correct jokes a lot) i had to wear my glasses.
i know you’re just dying to hear how our television perils resolved, and so i will summarize with: we bought a flat-screen and i get megatron when i move out in a month. totes.
